Why would it?
Free height is irrelevant. You want at least the "spec" seat pressure (125-135 lbs), a reasonable open pressure at your cam's full lift (maybe 300-325 lbs or so), and enough clearance at full lift to be well out of coil bind. Beyond that, nothing really much matters.
By the way I'm running those exact springs. Thread Starter
