    Lol. No cheating.
    I ordered those and asked for a specific spring rate. I want to make sure they’re the ones I asked for and not the ones that normally come with the set.

    I don't think they are what normally comes on there as I believe that end in "29". Yours end in "46". So either 650 or 700, but cant see you going to 700 unless you have 300 pounds on the front of your truck.

    Got it. So they’re definitely not 600s? Thank you.

    I honestly don't think so....
    This is on their product page and if they are the 6112's. I would assume they would use what comes on it in the advertising picture.;)
    All educated guess here.:thumbsup:

    Why do you say 300lbs? The stock OR spring is 712#...seems this topic is common lately. Asking because I’m curious

    I have 135lbs winch and lo-pro bumper and 700# coils are perfect

    It was a over exaggeration. I have 650s on my icons with a 1inch of preload and when I had the go rhino steel behemoth bumper and winch tray its was spongy, but felt ok.

    The spring is the spring.... the valving on the shocks, digressive vs progressive.
    Billies and icon typically work best at about 30 to 40 mph and not very well at slower speeds. Makes it a tad more rough and harsh, but nothing airing down a little further doesn't fix. The ads, fox, king, are much more forgiving at slower speeds and kind kick ass at higher speeds.

    They are digressive. So putting on a heavier spring rate only increases the roughness of the ride unless you add weight to the truck to get the springs more involved.

    I feel the opposite. ADS are progressive compression and digressive rebound. At slow speeds I feel the road imperfections. At 40mph+ they float like a cloud in the washboards,etc.

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    They’re NOT 600#s I know that. I sold the 600# springs that came with my 6112s as I put 650# springs on and sold the 600#s and I just checked my old pictures. I can check the numbers on my 650# springs later. I don’t think Bilstein makes 700# springs, so I’d say they’re 650#.
