I've never installed them though, so I don't know. Looking at the leafspring rates, 300 is less than the Z51 rear rates, and above the base rate. 425 front is more like the '92+ cars that had softened front spring rates (even the Z07/Z51 cars). I don't want softer fronts, so if I ever did install them I'd go much stiffer front like 5-600.
Did you have to relocate the sway bar to do the fronts?

yes I had to relocate the front bar. I when with 425 as Rippie suggests 400-450. I did not want too hard or too soft, to mee it feels like 425 is harder then my OEM 90 spring..
rear is still OEM and since I still have time I need to thin about the 275 vs 300 a little more.
For me with the leafs or the front coils I drive in sport mostly
