Default Stock springs ok
I have a 6.0 from a 2002 escalade and want a slightly bigger cam. Would a 2002 ls6 cam need new springs and push rods? Going from .479/.467 lift 207/ 196 to .550/.550 lift 218/204. Thanks.

Yes, You will atleast need the yellow LS6 springs. Stock will not cut it.

To be on the safe side, you need to check for the proper pushrod length. Stock might be ok, but it might not.
