it depends on how tall your lift is on the cam. however it is recomended to always get away from stock. and you might as well put new ones on if the heads are off.

i dont think you should have ptv clearance issues. the lift in my cam is over 500 and i got stock springs. they are barely starting to get weak after 3years.. lol time to change them.
