Q about oem springs
 

I'm asking this question on behalf of a friend with a '95 GXE. He wants to know if it's possible to install '97 SE oem springs in his model. The background story is long so I won't take up anyone's time unnecessarily with it here.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

they should fit ...
 

but the gap will be bigger !!!!

Re: they should fit ...
 

Why would that be? (btw, he's not concerned about the 4x4 look.)

here is why
 

SE, OEM springs are different than GXE and GLE

replace springs n shocks n struts for an SE like ride, i dont see how it will be any higher cuz that would mean the SE would be higher than the GXE and GLE and i dont believe thats so

Re: here is why
 

I already know SE spring rate is higher than GXE & GLE spring rate. But specifically, can you tell me if the diameter of the spring coils and height of springs between SE vs GXE are identical or not?

Re: Re: here is why
 

they should fit just fine. i have a set of 1999 SE springs on my 1996 GLE. it didn't make it any higher, but it is a bit stiffer. they fit was fine... it was a direct swap
