    Hey everyone,
    Looking for some advice on front coil springs for my 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I’m currently running 700lb Wheeler's Off-Road springs (14" length), but the ride is a bit rough for daily driving and lighter wheeling. I’m considering switching to 650lb springs and wanted input based on my setup.

    Here’s what I’ve got bolted on:

    Front weight:

    • C4 Fab hybrid front bumper125 lbs

    • Front skid plate85 lbs

    • Badland Apex 12,000 lb winch (synthetic rope)66 lbs
      Total added front weight: 276 lbs
    Other mods:

    • Rock sliders130 lbs
    Truck is running Bilstein 6112s with notches set to 5th on the driver side / 4th on the passenger side.

    Would 650lb coils be a better match for comfort while still supporting the weight, or should I just stick with the 700s?

    Appreciate any advice and spring recommendations — links or part numbers would be super helpful!

    I'm at like ~190ish lbs on my front end and I have 650lb springs on my 6112s and think they fit and ride great. I actually bought a set of 700lb springs and tried them out before I put these 650lb ones on and they were too stiff. So I would say give them a shot, you shouldn't have any real issues.
