rockin my world alright guys so i recently have just puked the bearings out of one of my rockers on my 01 ws6, im wondering how much can you bump the ratio up without having to replace springs should i decide to up the ratio, and i want to keep around .100" clearance for the springs to def no less than .080" dont want to overload them. anyone bumped the ratio up on the stock springs before and how did this work out if so?

I'd be more worried about retrieving ALL of the needle bearings right now. Harland Sharp does a nice rocker arm modification to the stock rockers. It replaces the bearing assembly with a heavy duty one but retains the stock rocker body.
