    I've been running coils that have given me 3.5" for over a year and haven't had problems, though I do get vibrations at 60+

    Every truck is diffent though, some require them at 3" to get a good alignment

    Take a look around the site, there is more than enough info here for you to do some research and figure out what you want. Then, if you have more specific questions, we can help you with them

    We ain't gonna do all your research for you :D
