    I think I've got a new set of 18" 700# sitting in the garage

    Just 3 tons of fun!!!

    Ya, 700# is too much. I was running 700# with my stock travel and if this makes any sense... I was tilting the truck more than using the up travel. I'm wanting to try some things out to see if I can run a bit less spring so I can get the tire to move up more than having the entire front corner come up.

    I'm not sure if I did any justice to that explanation lol

    I was talking to Fox yesterday and they suggest a 600# spring, but he did say with my weight he could see 650#... but it'll be a bit of trail and error.


    I do like the 700# because it stiffens things up since the sway bar went in the trash years ago.

    My truck is pretty heavy and mine went from 700’s to 600’s and didn’t notice a huge difference in amount of sway.

    I like this statement... Hopefully, I have the same experience. I'd like to get down to 600# 18s (but silver :rofl:)
