5 springs broken....good thing they were double springs
#21
If the heads were 4 years old does that mean the springs were also 4 years old? If so then that was prolly the problem. Ive ran set after set of Patriot Dual springs on my cars and others cars without the 1st problem, Id highly reccommend them. They are good up to .650 lift & come with everything you need, locks, seats, valve seals, retainers, springs. Give gunnar a call he'll fix up.

Also, the gold dual kits do not come with dampers.
