    After re-reading the initial post of this thread, I think I may have ordered the wrong coilovers. I called and ordered through Auto Anything. The sales rep assured me that I am ordering 700lbs springs, adjusters and the extended version. I asked multiple times and he said the systems shows that they come with 700lbs coils and that they are the extended version.

    However, my order shows Part #: 25001-119A
    Should I cancel this and order from again from a more reputable vendor? I want to figure this out sooner than later as my ship date is already a month and a half from now!

    Don’t quote me, but I believe standard comes with 600# springs. You’ll have to ask a vendor to swap for heavier springs (usually no charge). Regarding your order, the A designation is for adjusters but it doesn’t hat “ext” for the extended version. I suggest you cxl and buy with dialogue for your specific requests through Downsouth motor sports or Filthy Motorsports.

    My OEM performance extended with 700# springs shipped within one week and the rear Dakar extended came within 2 weeks. These were purchased through Micah at @Downsouth Motorsports

    Mine are back ordered. Said it’d be 2-3 weeks. The wait is brutal.

    The wait is so hard, but once you have them on you’ll never regret it.

    I am running 650#, 13" coils. I will be adding a plate bumper, winch, and I already have steel skids and sliders. From what I am reading if I go to a 700#, 14" coil i'll be able to keep the same height and lower the preload. Am I tracking right?

    If or when you decide to upgrade to the 700lb springs and you wish to sell the 650's you have I would like the opportunity to purchase them. I currently run 600's and need to upgrade to 650's.

    I'm thinking I'll just go 650# springs from the get go. I don't think I'll ever put enough on my truck to need 700#, but I don't want to get the standard 600# springs and then have to change them out when I do sliders and skids. Putting in an order sooooooon I hope!!

    So the stock spring is 13 inches, if you add the 14inch spring you will gain an inch without preloading?

    I have front skids and sliders and my 600 does perfectly fine. It rides really nice.
    Standard is 14” unless you request otherwise when you ordered.

    I am going to be ordering rear suspension parts this weekend and wanted to get some opinions on my parts list. The set-up will be mostly used on the street, but I will be rock crawling on weekends once I am armored-up.

    So, here's what I'm thinking:
    King RR shocks w/ adjusters
    Deaver Expedition 3 Pack
    Archive Hammer Hangers
    Undecided on u bolt flip/bumps (recomendations?)
    Brake lines? (do I need, and if so what size?)

    I've also been tossing around the idea of doing the shackle flip and relocating shocks to stuff 12"ers. It seems overkill for my application and I don't like the idea of adding wheel spacers as I'm already at a -12mm offset. Let me know if my reasoning isn't correct.

    I took the piecemeal approach to ordering my suspension components, but today I finally wrapped it up ordering the last few parts. In all, went with 2.5" with adjusters all around. The fronts are extended travel coilovers and I'll be running Camburg billet UCAs. I paired the rear shocks with the heavy duty Dakar leaf pack. I'll have to wait as DSM has Kings backordered right now, but I'm super excited to have reached this point and I can't wait to get these on the truck.

    A friend has some kings for sale with the 700 pound springs and will be putting them on a 2018 4 door long bed and not much up front.Thinking of making him a offer but worried it might ride a little harsh- any opinions?Thanks
