    Looking to purchase from headstrong their 6112/5160 kit. Anyone have this setup?

    And would you get the 650 upgrade spring? Or will the nose be higher than the back?

    650lb spring isn't an upgrade if you don't have weight up front

    How much did it lift the rear? And the 1/2 shim was for the front?

    I was going with the 650 spring to bring it level with the rear. That's what I thought it would do.

    650lb spring is for a medium amount of extra weight up front (skids, winch, etc) and will give a harsher ride without the weight

    The 1/2" shim was for the rear basically it goes under the leaf springs kind of like a block. So it was a 2" leaf in the rear with that.

    With the bilsteins you can adjust the preload to get the ride height you want. At stock weight, you shouldn’t need to change coil springs.
