I am also looking for some 600 lbs springs for King front 2.5 coilover.

 

Do you have Chris number or his email? I called the number on their Facebook page and left message and still haven't gotten a return call back yet. Thanks

I’ve got 600 lb 13” fox springs if those will work for you…. You could get them powder coated blue…

 

Did you put 650s on? I ask because I am about to disassemble my TRD Pro fox shocks and give them some love.

 

I did, plus I had a pair of 600’s sitting in my garage already for some reason too…

 

Do you know if they will work on King 25001-119? I got them new installed with 700 lbs spring. I haven't install them yet and I am worrying the ride will be too stiff since I don't have any armor or added weight up front. Other than the TRD Pro Skid plate.

 

I’m not 100% but I would think so, they’re a 600lb 3” diameter 13” spring… I think everyone uses off the shelf stuff from Eibach or others and just private labels it but other folks on here may know more. I can get you pics but I’m out of town for another week…

Ride is definitely harsher for me with the 650’s… so I would expect that with 700’s—are your shocks tuned to work with the 700’s? Might be fine then. I’m adding a winch and front bumper soon and I also haven’t messed with the dsc adjusters yet to try to take out some of it

 

I need to do more research, as to what actually can be done to the OEM TRD Pro Fox shocks. I know that Westcott makes a perch you can disassemble your OEM pro shocks, and raise it 1.5”, however I don’t know about spring replacement.
Is your 650 spring any taller or just stiffer?

 

The 650’s I put on are 14”, so 1” taller. I was quite far down on the coil adjusters already so the 1” worked ok….

 

So I have the same setup as you with 600lb springs and have been looking at the possibility of going to 700lb springs here pretty soon. Added a bumper and whatnot. Would you be open to just trading springs?

 

I am open to that. Do you have the equipment needed to swap spring? I heard you need a wall or table mount spring compressor. Hand crank won't cut it.

 

I don’t have one but have access to one. Worst case we could let Greer do it. How big of a hurry are you in?

 

I am not in a hurry. I have my Kings for a couple months now, just haven't had time to install them yet.

I have a set of never mounted Rigid D-Series Pro Spector Diffused Surface Mount LED Light Pods - 502513

https://www.rigidindustries.com/d-s...used-surface-mount-black-2-lights-502513.html

I got these a while back for my new rear HC bumper. I hooked them up to a spare battery this AM to try them out and then went to mount them on the bumper and realized they don’t fit.

Of course, now it’s past the return window and I don’t have a use for them.

Includes everything they originally came with from the factory. The wiring harness and mounts/hardware packages were opened to test and try to install this AM and then repackaged after I took pics.

Retail is $409.99 + tax/shipping

I’m asking $265.

Located in North GA, but may entertain shipping (you pay)

 

I use this hand crank regularly and works great:

Plenty of videos on YouTube about doing it without a spring compressor.

I don't remember which one I followed, but I remember thinking that it wasn't sketchy at all. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I had zero reservation or concern for safety the entire time I was swapping springs on a friend's truck. You're essentially using the weight of the truck as the spring compressor. It's quick, efficient, and (most importantly) controlled.

 

X2 I didn't use the spring compressor either to build mine and I thought it was better than actually using the spring compressor lol

 

I have done it both ways and that spring compressor i used, above, was way easier than mounting the spring on the truck by unbolting from the bottom of the spindle, but either way works, and to each their own comfort level!

 

X3 on using the truck’s weight and a floor jack. I’ve done this to replace my top hats and isolators.
