I had 14" 175lb springs on there before and i didnt have enough weight transfer on my deal , so i went to a 130lb 14" spring and it worked great with my old 521 deal , but when it changed to the 562 i had to install limiters

I got 14 - 175s on mine. Haven't run them yet, But from what I've seen so far the front sits a bit too high for my liking. Might need some 130's like Bruno mentioned..
