The tech artical that says the following is wrong.
Skyjacker 4″ coils = 450 PPI
Skyjacker 6″ coils = 410 PPI
Skyjacker 8″ coils = 410 PPI

It should say:
Skyjacker Leveling Coils Standard Cab #132 = 393 PPI Free Length = 14 7/16
Skyjacker Leveling Coils Extended Cab #132x = 393 PPI Free Length = 15 7/16
Skyjacker 4″ coils #134 = 480 PPI Free Length = 17
Skyjacker 6″ coils #136 = 435 PPI Free Length = 18 7/8
Skyjacker 8″ coils #138 = 430 PPI Free Length = 21

I called Skyjacker today to get this info as i was trying to track down the leveling coils spring rate and couldn't find them so i just got everything while i was at it.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Thanks. I have recently seen that 435 number for the 6" coils somewhere around here.

Wish I could lay my hands on a set of the 8" coils. Pretty sure that would get my front end where it needs to be.
