that was my first thought, ide bet higher spring rate is the difference. it appears that the rear is the same spring, so i cant imagine the fronts are any taller than the gassers.

I'm pretty sure that the diesel and gassers sit at the same height. But putting diesel springs in a gasser will make the gasser sit high because the spring rates are different.

if the rate is what the difference is i doubt it would be all that noticeable at all. it would only be the front, might level out a hair. how compressed are the front springs with just truck weight on them? it isnt very much is it?

Several inches actually, if you jack it up by the frame it takes quite a while for the tires to come off the ground. I'd expect an inch or two putting diesel springs in a gasser.
