    After adding lots of weight to my truck, I'm unable to get the lift i'd like from my Fox 2.5s without adjusting the hell out of the preload. I'm thinking of switching up to 700lb coil springs.

    Anything I should know? These are the springs i'm looking at.

    Yeah, 3 inch with those stock coils and your weight will never happen!! @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc or @HeadStrong Off-Road can get you taken care of. Wheelers had a sale on coils a while back! But don't chince out on that spring compressor. Shops around me wanted obscene money to do the swap!!
