Thanks
Steve
350 I think is actually very light, is it firm because the shock setting is stiff? or is the spring so soft that the collar is tightened all the way up to keep ride height and now creating coil bind and the making the ride rough

are the arms stock? stock arms have a terrible motion ratio and I think require more spring

what LS? a cast iron truck block is heavy and that T56 weighs a ton, I would have started you at 550 lb spring from QA1 (spring weights from different companies work differently)

hope this helps
