If you have dual springs, then no, you can't use the stock seal/seat. It will prevent the inner spring from seating properly. If you have beehive/single springs, then you should be able to use it, but then you're going to want to measure spring height, and most likely will have to shim the springs. The stock seats are much thinner than all of the aftermarket ones that I've seen.

No, the aftermarket seals that we use (as well as Patriot, Comp, etc) with the dual spring kits do not set down all the way to the seat. There will be a small gap between them!
