Are these lift springs for a Dodge 1500 or just random springs that look close? Or are they from a 2500 Cummins or a 3500 Cummins or a v10 or or?

Where did you get them from?

All I could really say would be a spring swap to find out where you would stand. All depends on how much lift you get with em...

Spring rate would both be great to know...

Be carefull about going to high on stock control arms. If you lift it to much it will pull your axle back and your axle wont be center in the wheel well like stock.

44s i think can be cleared by a 8 or 9in . Not sure though. I know i can fit 39.5s with my 7.5in lift. but i run 37s.
