I have no clue, I'm just a noob

 

just like me

 

If I were you, I call Marie at Headstrong, and ask her.

Other questions would be, do you want a lift, or just be able to handle the weight you added better while keeping stock height?

 

That was my .02¢ lol , I won't open my mouth on something I know nothing about haha

 

Yes, as often as possible.

The brisket is thawing in the fridge. I hope it's thawed by Saturday.

 

Nice , did you make your smoker or did you get it at the store ?

 

Store bought.

 

I called her I got 6 different directions, I was all set w/bilsteins5100 but not strong enough
want a lift

 

Whatever the stock spring rate is plus 100lbs. You've got roughly 200 additional pounds up front. If you're going for 3 full inches of lift, you may want to get an extra inch on the spring length to reduce preload. I've read that the 17s are actually designed with an inch of lift into the front so that you can get 2 inches before having to swap UCAs for optimum caster.

 

dam what would you stuff a 17 inch spring into? a coil over

 

The year 17. Sorry about that.
I have icons and the standard length for their coilover is a 13 inch spring. I used 14 inch springs so that my preload distance would be lower.
ARB bumper and winch 300 lbs, Marine 31 battery additional 25lbs, budbuilt skids, full set, 275 lbs, sliders 150lbs. Stock spring rate 540lbs, so I went with 700 to add 160 to each, plus, an inch longer, plus valved reservoirs. Nominal setting on valve is 5, I wheel at 2 and street at 7.

 

you have apx 750lb of stuff compared to my 300 lb
do you find the icons to b a little harsh on road

 

The skids and sliders are spread along the length so you can't take the full weight on the front. I also have SPC/LR UCA's that give me 3.25 caster. The icons are 2.5 dia, so pretty plush with a light sidewalls tire. The budbuilt hang mostly behind the front axles. E rated is rough with any suspension setup.

 

I'm assuming you mean E rated tires are stiff as well and because I'm riding a little bit lighter would I need a 700# spring

 

Snow plowing

 

What is the stock spring rate on a 2016?
If it is 540, like my 09, I would go with something like the eibach 630s. That's +90 over stock. A 650 would be +110, etc..
I read that the 2017 has 700lb springs as stock. I'm not an expert on the 2016 or 2017 for that matter.

 

Your running JBA, s with 650# ?

 

I just searched for 2016 spring rates and saw a post that measured was 717lbs. So 800 to 825?? Better call Headstrong or Toytec or another of the vendors to be sure.

 

I think they are the same

 

I think the third gen has a stiffer spring rate.

Check this out.

Picking the right setup isn't easy if you haven't done it before.

I'm thinking I want kings front and rear.
