Does anyone know the difference between the Small Block coil Spring and the
Big Block coil spring? Is the BB stiffer/taller?:confused:

BB spring is both taller and stiffer. The extra stiffness is very little though, usually around 25-50# rate difference.

Thanks for the info guys, I kind of figured the BB spring was taller
