dont forget the spring is more likely to need to be longer.
iirc i had 350lb 8" for the front (car engine) and went for 220lb 9" for the rear
the std car was 13-9" shocks +1" extension with a 8" spring (350lb f 200lb r) but as people have pointed out the spring in the front was set nearly as low as it could go with std ride hight.
this is why when i was selecting a longer shock i only got a longer spring for the rears so both sets would be mid way in the ajustment.
So to summarise

You bought

2x 1.9" ID Yellow colour 350lb 8"
2x 1.9" ID Yellow colour 220lb 9"
4x GAZ 14-9.5" 12mm rod bearing type part no 140/095 R12

Is that right?

Cheers

Chris
