My dilemma is not being able to get a correct spring to fit with a 2.050 max installed height, yet still allow .850 net lift.



As much as I like Comp, I'd switch to a PAC spring.
The PAC-1248 will handle a .900 lift easily. Its specs are:
PAC-1248: 350 lbs @ 2.050, 950 lbs @ 1.20
This spring is spec'd to .900 lift

The PAC 1246 is a little less pressure and although this spring is spec'd to .800 lift, I have run them many times with .850 lifts with no problems.
PAC-1246: 250 @ 2.050, 830 @ 1.20
