    Any 2nd gen owners have pics or can let me know how much you had to preload your coilovers (w/stock spring rate) for about 2.5" of lift? I'm on the fence of getting 700lb springs or the stock 650's. I know every truck is different but I just want a baseline to go off of. My truck is right in the middle of not needing the 700's.

    What kind of travel do those rear shocks have? Any extended and collapsed numbers?

    I'm right there with you. Not sure if I should go with 14"x650lb or 14"x700lb springs.

    I'm not sure how much preload I have (I can count the number of threads above the collar or something later), but I am completely fine with how my truck rides with a steel plate bumper, and steel front skid on 650lb springs. If I end up getting more skids though, I will go up to 700lbs when it is time to have em rebuilt.

    That would be cool, count threads or a pic with a tape measure up to the threads. Also, what does your ride height look like?

    Do you have a winch right now? I currently have Icons with 700lb coils and have maybe 1/2" of pre load on each cool over. Post some pictures if can can please.

    Will update with numbers and pics when I have time later today! And no....no winch yet. Totally forgot about that. I have more than 1/2" on drivers side...sounds like 700lb is about the way to go.

    I've got 15 driver's side, 12 passenger's side (threads showing) with 2.5 lift in the front. 650# coils and it rides a little stiff with no weight up front. I will eventually have aluminum skids and MAYBE an aluminum bumper with a winch down the road.

    TBH I need to add about 3 more threads on the front to be level.... Sitting with 1/2" rake atm.

    The 650 Eibach spring have a block height of 6.61" so the max amount of threads above collar should be about 1.5".

    I have .75" on driver side and .4" on passenger side. That gave me almost 2.5" on my 2010 sport access cab.
    Now on my 2016 OR DCSB with 150lb sliders the front is at 1.5" with the same amount of threads showing.

    After I install a slim line bumper, winch and skids I'm hoping the max adjustment on the collar will put me at 2". (.75" of threads should equal about 450lb with no change in ride height)

    I might even try a .125"-.25" top plate sense both SPC ucas have hit my inner fender. I'll add spacers to my super bumps as well.

    I stopped by ADS yesterday, to pickup a replacement spanner wrench.

    What a great group of guys! I'm glad I helped support their small business. :thumbsup:
