question about a lift?
I was wondering i just installed my 2" Skyjacker lift and i like it, just kinda want more without throwing mega bucks at it. IF i take my front springs (I6) and put them in the rear and take V8 front springs and put the in the front would it be close or look stupid??

The front I6 springs in the front will give you roughly 3.5 inches and the V8 will only give you about an inch in the front. Throw some 2" coil spacers in the front and you will be fine.

yea i already have 2" coil spacers all around, what i wanted to do was see if the V8 springs were heavy enough to lift it to match the I6 springs in the rear if i swapped them. I guess not

The weight difference between the V8 and I6 is not as much as you think it would be!
I would take V8 front springs and put in the rear then buy new 3.5" coils for the front.
