The 97s didn't have the conical bumpstops from the factory but if the tsb for the rear springs was done then you will have them on a 97.

You might think about the 1999 factory springs. They should be a tiny bit taller than the 97 springs. Other than that, the Performance Products 1" lift springs would probably be your best bet but I...

You might be okay with your Billie's and the OME springs, I don't have any experience with those. The HD's would probably be terrible with the OME springs though.

My guess is that even though you wont hit the bump stop, if you bottom out the spring will fully compress and act as a bump stop. Probably not good. Plus the spacers wont do anything to the spring...

If you have the 3.4, it uses a waste spark ignition system. My understanding is that this causes the spark to fire twice as often as a regular ignition system. Thus the twin electrodes are used to...
