    Most of the new aftermarket transverse front springs are built for the larger heavier engines. If you feel you need more you can always add leafs. Just call the local spring and brake shop or the manufacture with the specifics and they can dial it right in for you. I'm sure there are formulas to figure all that stuff out but my gut feeling is its a trial and error thing for most. Buy a spring pack, too light remove springs, too heavy add springs? A lot depends on where you drive and road conditions. It would probably be less critical on trailer queen than a hot rod so what your planning to do with it might factor in as well... Strip or Show?
