    Like all the replies are saying check everything first. I would think a new set should be the same.
    To answer your question about spring arcs, you need to go to a place that does spring work for heavy duty trucks, dump trucks - Semi trucks. They are the most knowledgeable. I took a 4 wheel drive van in once and a 350 Ford Centurion another time, was looking to raise both with new springs. I gave them the dimension I wanted, measured from the floor to the bottom of the front bumpers for both, 6 inch lift on one - 4 inch on the other. Came back to pick them up and pulled out my tape measure and each time they were exactly on the number on both sides. Not a 1/16 off but exact measurement. Sign of a professional shop that knows what a quality job means to a customer. (and they rode like a charm, not stiff but like a luxury car.)
