    More than with 700# that I don't need? Or just lose the inch? It would be 600# that are 1" shorter

    Depends on your setup. 14” 700# rides best with a bumper. 13” 600-700# stock

    No reason to go with a 13” coil (that length is harder to find anyways). A 700lb spring is still 700lbs with the weight of the truck sitting on it. It’s more favorable to have a longer spring and 14” is the max that fit on OEM length shocks. Try out the 700s and see how you like it. If it feels like your suspension doesn’t compress over terrain like you want it to, then you could always drop down to 650s later.

    stock coils are 13” 700#. I run the 14” 700# with a lo-pro bumper and winch (130-150lbs). Wish I went with 650# even with my aftermarket shocks

    Stock coils on stock tophat (screwtop) style shocks? Those are like apples to oranges with 2.5” coilovers. They’re not compatible.
