As long as he has the MarkMC 3" lift, and as long as the MarkMC 3" lift is designed properly, spring rate shouldn't affect CV binding no matter what spring he chooses. 89s may affect longevity of the shock, and he may top out all the time - which are major problems themselves. However 89s shouldn't affect binding of the CV since the max articulation angle of the suspension is dictated by the lift block alone. Spring rate has no bearing on the unloaded suspension/max droop angle, it only affects the loaded suspension CV angle.

I wouldn't use 89 springs with any lift, there have been a few shock failures from that. I had good luck with 87s on a 2" lift for a while, but I don't have any reference to what spring is best with the 3".

I got a box with some. Seems the box is sagging some so I am not sure the springs can hold up.
