I need some help. Does anyone have experience with the Evo 6.5" JT Diesel lift? I'm specifically looking for the P/N stamped on the front HD springs. I ordered the lift amd received the springs but it doesn't look right to me. The front springs on my Evo 4.5" lift were the same length as the rear - on this one the rears are 2" longer than the fronts.

I've raised my concerns with the company that I ordered the lift from and they confirmed with Evo that they are the correct springs. I really don't want to start installing this thing and find out then that the springs are too short...

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

So I remembered that I still have my 3.5" Skyjacker front coils and had a comparison pic next to the 4.5" plush ride coils that I put on my 2020 3.6.

I took a pic of the supposed 6.5" hd coil spring next to the Skyjacker coil and it is the exact same length as the 4.5".

The uppers of the skyjackers collapse immediately right? You see the coils are different. Plus the evos are a bigger coil, just install them

Yea, after speaking with @TTEChris I believe they are the correct coils. I ordered a 2nd pair from a different company and will be able to verify once they arrive.

Calling evo is like callping Abraham Lincoln, no one will ever answer. They make great products but have horrible customer service

They are probably getting more lift with higher coil rate. Probably a good thing for the diesel. I’ve got the 3.5” Metalcloak springs plus their diesel spacer and they are crazy soft. That’s not normally a bad thing but i had to stiffen up the shocks.
