    There is no height difference between the two coils. The only difference is how many turns you will have to do to get the same height between both coils.

    Hey. It's almost impossible to buy and do everything right, especially if you're planning on changes in the future.

    Just consider this, in 2-3 years when you'll be ready to add weight up front, depending on milage and usage, it might be a good idea to rebuild your shocks. That's when you could put on proper springs according to the weight, and have a 'brand new' setup!

    Soo...

    I ordered my king 2.5 ext travel w/adj 7 weeks ago and finally just got them today. Tomorrow is my girlfriends birthday and now there are two big expensive boxes in the livingroom that aren’t hers. Terrible timing.

    I’m torn between feeling totally stoked or like a total ass because I definitely didn’t spend that much on her... :confused:

    So far the obituary for my rich friend sounds like the plan.

    But if he’s dead, what do I tell her about the bumper and winch that’s coming...? Haha

    So....I finally got tired of the Bilstein 5100s.

    I’m ready to pull the trigger on 25001-119A-600-EXT
    From what I have read I should go with 600 coils since I don’t have weight on the front.

    I have a question for those of you who didn’t get the adjusters, do you regret it?
    What store do recommend?

    I have those exact shocks with the #650 springs and don't have a single regret. They ride like butter! Only added weight is a TRD pro skidplate and a set of sliders. Got my fronts from @Downsouth Motorsports and my rears from @AccuTune Offroad both companies offer great customer service.

    Not much stock left.
    I’ve had both the 600’s and now 700’s. The differences are minor. I would do the 7’s. You can’t predict the future. Best to be prepared.
