standard ones with longer shackles will give you lots of flex but may not give you heaps of lift.
depends on what you are after.

as wot chris as said but u can always add a"spring block under the leaf pack if u desire to help with the lift. 2" or sumthin should b sweet.

for my old spring set up i had parabolics all around (if u want i still have them u can buy them off me if u want
) and they were good for clearance gave good lift, they werent the best at the flex side. my ifs rears flex alot better and well i guess i will know how my front works at the end of the week
, but my car sits alot lower, like they said, depends what u want

As the other guys said its all on what result u want but standard springs will sag just as quick ,resetting them is a waste of money and extended shackles are illegal in most states a good touring spring would be old man emu but once again what result do u want and u get what u pay for
