If you change your springs you will regain at least 1.5"s of lost height due to your old factory coils sagging with age.

for what it's worth , I replaced my old sagging springs with the "stock" spring kit from AtlanticBritish over a year ago, and like Mike says...I gained about 1.5" over what it was.
If you do any towing you may want to go heavier on the back, but this was a vast improvement over what was there.

And with time they will start to sag again, that is why I usually always suggest after market springs like OME or RTE.

2"s above factory new height so you could gain 3"s plus.
