Searched but did not find an answer so my question is: is there any reason to keep the OEM springs?

Thanks in advance for the advice. (y)

If you trade in the car could swap back to stock.

2020FordRaptor,

Thank you for the reply. I guess stock springs are best for resale/trade - the new owner may want more utility out of their SUV. But a lowered ST looks so good...

I'll tuck the springs away.

Thanks for the nudging me out of my Mustang mode of thinking about modifications. :)

It’s not even that the new owner doesn’t want it, its the fact it it wont add value to your vehicle when going to sell it, so might as well pull them off and sell them seperately.

I kept mine for exactly that reason... I have actually saved everything I have taken off so I can put it back to stock if I ever trade it in.

Thanks, fellas, for the good advice. I was fighting my inner packrat but there is good justification for keeping the springs (and the rear sway bar, lol). [cheers]
