8 inch spring no prob just need to know few things about your truck then i can spec you out the correct qa1 spring.

thing is i have to know what ride height from eye/eye now then i can spec somethign off of that.

My concern is the loss of travel and ride quality. I put some 5" djm springs in for about 30 minutes before swapping my belltechs back into place. Sucks nobody makes a progressive rate spring just like my belltechs but 2" shorter.

THere are progressive rate springs been using them for a while

have anywhere from a 10 inch to 12 inch spring. and spring rates starting from 100 and going up to 600 if needed. :)

softer 10 inch spring rate will still ride good becuase you can have it go to 250 or 475 or 600.

its jsut hard people here think oh qa1 wtf they have been around for a while. ITs a very easy swap and you can use the springs if you dont like it return it. I allways order a few different ones then return the ones customer doesnt like.

Ive been around these trucks since dec of 99 when i first lowered a customers suburban with the DJM 3/5 kit and just learned a lot over the years. If i can help the people here learn about more options that work so be it.

You has a pm. I've been using QA1 stuff for year when I was into sprint cars and hotrod shit with great success, guess I'm not the guinea pig since you've done it before :cheers:
