Will 2017 front coil springs work on the 2019-2020 live valve shocks?
I have a 2017 raptor I’m adding the 2019-2020 live valves +sdi eclik system to, but the live valve shocks I sourced have 90k miles on them. I’m having the shocks rebuilt, but I think I should replace the front springs that came on them since they have about 90k miles. I’m wondering if I can just swap my existing springs over (40k miles) to the new shocks after rebuild or if I should buy new 2019-2020 springs because the spring rate might be different or something. Part number seems to be the same on the ford parts websites between both years.

I doubt the front springs are shot, and even if they’re a little worn? Throw some deaver +3s on back & a 1” perch collar on front which will raise height slightly & tighten the front springs up & I wouldn’t run non-live valve springs on live valve shocks they could be the same, but if so why do the live valve trucks tend to ride higher when new?
