Depends on what code springs they each have.....could be more, less or the same.

Should sit somewhat higher......amount would depend on what you have now vs. what were on the PSD.



Hope this helps.

Look at the VIN sticker on the door post, in the lower right hand corner there's a place that says "SPR" (spring) and two letter under it. The first letter is the front spring type and the second the rear spring. What does each truck say? Essentially, that's how I leveled my 1994 F150 4.9L. I got coil springs from an F250HD with the 5.8L and bang! level as could be.
