Im planning on getting a Steeda suspension package w/sway bars, and blitsen shocks. The kit comes with lowering springs, but I was wondering if I could use my stock springs because I have LT headers so I have a few clearance issues.

Its best to have matched springs and dampers. I am sure Steeda designed that kit that way. I suggest you call Steeda and ask them.

There are Bilstein shocks available that are designed to work with the stock springs/ride height.

what killie said. Not to mention most LT does not cause clearance issue(unless you have SLP. ya then do look like hang lower then most other LT's). If you don't want to worry about clearance issue, i say go with mach1 spring and shock/strut combo. they are matched, and lowers only like .75" or osomething like that.
My car is dropped 2.25", and i have yet to scrap LT. I did scrape my shaust tips every now and then, however
