I'm interested in opinions on the 3400lb vs 3800lb ss springs. My old DC manual says 3400lb springs are the ones for my '64 Belvedere 2d HT, but I think I've read that some guys go with the 3800lb springs. I'm planning to do this swap in the spring (no pun intended), but I'm not sure which ones I should go with.
