Tacos in St. Louis area

Couldn't have said it better.....I'm exactly the same as @G.T. and also with be going ADS on the front to match my rears at some point in the future. Minus the clickers......

 

700lbs and if there is 800 I would have done that. Clickers set to full when off road. Have not revalved yet

 

Had to engage 4Hi to get up my driveway this morning. 19° down in my little cut.

 

One on every road these days.

 

Is that a government truck? Why are you taking pictures at my work....

 

Should have used metal zip ties, @Shellshock

 

My top display doesn't even more anymore. For a bit if I gave it a smack it would pop back on but it gave up like 2 months ago.

I'm running 700# springs, started off that way before I got the bumper and then several years before getting the winch. Just know it'll be a pretty stiff ride until you get everything on there. I didn't really see too much sag until after both the bumper and winch were on.

 

Definitely do the 14”. My buddy switched his 13” from icon out with king 14” for less preload. Also, I’ll be selling my 700s when I get back to states if you wanna hold off a few months!

Thanks for the info guys. I’ll look into it!

 

If @95tojo doesn't take them let me know.

 

Thanks for the responses @G.T. @Sociopenguin @Tacomania @HIYota @FishTacoTruck

I guess @mcharfauros is one of the few running 650s.

I'm sure the hybrid is lighter than the plate bumpers. Was planning on pulling COs and sending them in for refreshing when the bumper came in, but the smart thing to do is probably just throw the bumper on first, hang some weight off it to simulate a winch weight and see how the 650s handle it.

@FishTacoTruck what 700s are they ? Kings ?

@Cav_BluTRD Get outta here Rich

 

700s

 

You could get that bumper on and hang a deer off it for a couple weeks. The weight will be similar

 

I don't think hanging weight will give you a good idea of it's effects. IMO it's more of a long term effect. If you really are going to get them refreshed and plan to add all the weight, I'd just switch to 700#. Save the hassle of taking them apart again.

 

And you haven't lived until you've compressed 700# coils.......

 

That’s easy as, we’ve got the compressor on the wall here at the shop.

 

I’m running 650# coils but 4banger tends to change what’s needed. With an arb bumper (no winch) and skids mine are fine. But for you I’d say 700# no doubt, it may be a bit rough but..

 

You mean, my truck will ride *gulp* like a truck?

 

I've done both. The one on the wall, which was easier I will admit. The one we have at work is the compressor on the cart with the pivoting halo on the top.
It works but can be sketchy......
