    hey mrgrimm was wondering what length and rate your front springs are, did you change out the springs that came with you coilovers or just leave them?

    The coils are 650 lbs. The length I am unsure of because they were switched out by Demello. I would say that I need 700 pound springs but those will have to wait until next year.

    I have 14 inch 650's right now, wondering if I should go with 16 inch 650's or just grab 14 inch 700's. I dont want the ride to be to stiff.

    It all depends what you are running for springs in the rear. I had King Resi's with 14" 600's on the front, and King Resi's on the rear. When I added Dakar leafs I had a mean rake (over 2"). I will admit that a lot of the front sag was because of my plate bumper, winch and dual batteries. So I ordered 14" 700's from King and installed them hoping that would take care of the rake, but it wasn't meant to be. Now I'm running around with a 1/2" pre-load on them. Not ideal but it took care of the rake, as now the ride is considerable stiffer but it also helped a lot with body roll…

    I have a plate bumper and winch sitting in my shop waiting for paint at the moment. Im also long travel in the front. Im not looking to level my truck just want to keep the front higher in the travel so im not on bumps all the time.

    I wouldn't do anything with the suspension until you get the bumper and winch on. That way you know exactly what you are dealing with. Sounds like it might be wise to go with 16's.

    Not much.
    Hey Dean, do you have a picture of your alignment specs by any chance. I'm running the TC +2 kit and my caster looks a little off.

    Went out to Welks today. Rutted up as usual.

    Replaced my jerry can holders a few weeks back with a Rotopax setup.

    This was new, or at least I haven't seen it before. Nice little crawl up this rock. *Old British accent* "I hereby claim this to be Josh Rock"

    A little stuff in'. If I tubbed my fender wells, I could get more out of this.
