    I had both and didn't really notice. But I have steel skids and a winch/bumper.

    The 600# required more preload. 700# less preload but rode about the same. So much that I just wished I kept the 600# and didn't bother with th swap.

    Are you going to be adding any more front end mods , Bumpers , Skids, Winch? The extra weight will soften the 700's a little not much but you get the height from sagging! I added those mods and my front height lost about 3/4 inch and i am maxed out on preload. So i going to bump up to 700's. If you want to sell your 700's i may get them from you if your in SoCal area let me know or we could even swap for my Icon 600's. But i wouldnt change them if your looking to add those front Mods!

    Yeah I plan on putting on a bumper and winch, the 14inch springs require no preload at all and I still have like 1 3/4 lift in front. They are just so damn stiff I guess I just have to deal with it until I get the bumper and winch, thanks tho.

    Were yours the 600s 14inch or 13 inch bc the standard ones that come with icon are the 13inch 650 and I think that's why people have to crank them down so much is bc they are 13 inch.
