One website says stock is 10" inches and American Classic parts list them as 13 inches. Also, one website shows pigtales(about an inch turned into middle on one end) and American Classic does not.

My question is which is correct for stock height, front coils on 1966 GMC Suburban.

Thanks

The GMCs only came with the V6, there were no GMC V8s while they were using the V6. I have the 305 V6 and that was the smallest. Any of them out weighed a SBC by a couple hundred pounds, probably a BBC as well.

I meant to say that in the first post. In the GMC shop manual for 65-66 they refer to a color code for the springs. Mine took purple, but I can't find a legend remark as to what any of the colors meant. They had 4 or 5 colors.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
