It's not just about spring rates. It's about metal fatigue. But don't just take our word for it- call any of the top mopar shops in the country and they'll confirm this. Have your mechanic call, then he can actually learn something about cams for the hemi.
I know you'll take this the wrong way, but if he doesn't even know about the old 6.1 spring swap trick, then he doesn't know a damn thing about the hemi. And I wouldn't let him touch my truck. The 6.1 spring is the oldest trick in the book.
These are some of the top hemi shops in the country. Probably 99% of the fastest hemis come out of these shops-

About those 6.1 valve springs... Whats the deal with the steel collar around them. Do they get installed with those? I am doing the same thing to my 5.7. I just bought the springs from chrysler nothing else. is that all i need?
