    Either .500 or .525 i believe. If you are planning on upgrading internals, just buy a set of mopar .625 lift springs. They are very cheap

    In about 2011 Chrysler updated the spring/spacer package on the Eagle heads. When I did the cam swap, I used the updated springs/spacers, as well as new updated (about 2016) lifters.

    Though the cam/lifters were not ticking at 170k, two lobes/lifters were very warn. It was only a matter of time. If you are doing a cam swap. I wouild recommend using new updated lifters and new whatever springs your cam requires.

    How much lift they are good for is dependent upon how close to coil bind are you willing to go

    Not all heads have the exact exact same installed height

    Have you measured yours?

    Quality control wasn't what it was supposed to be

    you're safe with .550, after that it's a crap shoot , we've used OEM Eagle springs on 6.4(into 5.7s) cam swaps, none of them worked right with the OEM eagle springs. on the Intake side some coil bind, some we could get a .006 feller gauge in at full lift, Exhaust side was fine.

    FWIW All of Summits Hemi cams under .540 Lift can use the OEM Eagle spring , and don't experience valve float under7k RPMs
