Does anyone know or can anyone estimate how much lift I'd see out of a set of Hemi XK front coils? I definitely want to swap those out, but I want to know if I should go ahead and throw in another set of 1/4" strut spacers while I've got everything apart. I know I need new bolts if I do that, but I can find someone to weld them on.

i think youll probably yield a 1/2" or a hair over. i mean the difference in spring rates is pretty big- over 150lbs. probably wont need that extra strut spacer or have to worry about the welding. still havent thrown mine in yet- still gathering parts.Originally Posted by jjt250
looks nice man. id be curious to see how it looks parked next to a stocker. aside from the front- youre at 20" from center of the hub to the fender?

Okay I thought that K&N was orange. My old stock filter look different so I was just wondering, thanks though. It's strange that on my mom's ML 320CDI with same engine, I can barely hear the turbo but on mine, I can easily hear it spooling up.

Not a Drop in K&N, its a stock replacement, possible a FRAM or WIX

John are the XK coils side specific?

No, I don't believe they are.
Edit: I'm pretty sure on the fronts they aren't. I'm not 100% sure about the rears, but you could check the the thickness of the coils. Front what I could tell when I installed mine, none of them were side specific and my lift is pretty consistent around the vehicle, with or without a full tank of fuel.

I know on the OME springs for the XK it is thicker on the drivers side to make up for the gas tank, unsure if the same for the factory XK coils.
