    I figured out last night there are only 4 more things I must buy for my truck. Rear locker, High Clearance rear bumper, FJ Tcase with twin sticks and Bud Built Tcase skid to finish out the set. All the thousands of dollars of mods I want after those are not a must but will happen at some point. Too bad the 4 things are about 3Grand+ by them self :(

    Jamie is running a 700# also

    The original springs were 675# 14.75" free length and pre-loaded all to hell. Hope these hold the DCLB weight.

    Yeah, he just put them in about two weeks back. I've got to ask him how they performed this past weekend at URE.

    I also wanted the 750#'s to stiffen it up a little, I'm ditching the sway bar.

    Jamie, if you read this, give us the word on how the weekend went with the new springs.

    I've been meaning to up my springs to 700 lbs ones for awhile now, just never have gotten around to it. It is needed for sure.

    I wonder how much heavier the ARB bumper is versus the AP? I'm a little worried about the 750# springs. The long bed is sprung weight but not a ton more I dont think??

    Not looking good.

    No one up here rents spring compressors and the AssHole offroad shop wants $150 to swap the coils if I bring them in, off of the truck. I laughed all the way out the door, Fuck those guys. I then went to the shop down the street and they acted like they had no time in the world to spend 30 min on a coil swap.

    Screw Summit County, I'm over it. :rant: :frusty:

    then it would be even more expensive because I would have to take the truck there and they would do all the work. I would rather just drive to denver and rent a spring compressor to do the work myself if anyone had the time/tools this weekend.
