I think it sits about 5 mm higher with the 6 degree beam.


This is my 4x4 with 6 degree beam and Ahmed springs.








This was when it was still on the standard beam with the same Ahmed springs.





Coilovers don't need to be harder than Ahmed springs, it just depends on the spring rate. But in general they are specified with a quite high spring rate.
