Just got of the phone with Junior. After determining my intended uses he suggested New V and C code springs and 4 Bilstein shocks. Will ship out tomorrow!!!!!

Front bump stops, the Dorman 523-085 will work fine.

because of the added spring height they will not make contact nearly as often as with the stock springs but I would still stick with rubber, polyurethane front stops on the Ex are a bad idea.

Back to the block you choose..... I was trying to sort out if you are stacking blocks or adding a tapered block.
If you end up with a driveline vibration just known ahead of time it is from the block changing your pinion angle.

Junior said with the C i just reuse the oem block. Rear should land 3/4-1” taller than the front when loaded should be perfect

Perfect, that clears up the block issue.

When those C codes show up, I would like to see some pics. I have some C codes from a 250/350 that I will be using and I need to take off the top leaf because of rear A/C, IIRC. I want to see how their packs look.

Stewart,
Could the title of this thread be changed from "V B spring" to "V C spring"? To better reflect what the OP ended up getting/installing.

Thanks
Also, I couldn't figure out how to tag you

I do agree, but since the OP is still within his 30 day edit window where he can alter his original post as he want's, he can edit the thread title if he so chooses.

Here ya go, like this: [ utag ] Name of User Here [ / utag ] But remove all spaces first, so the coding can take affect. It will look like this: @msuser92
