    I'm about to jump in on the King group buy but I need coil selection help! I have a 2006 V6 access cab w/ a steel front skid, bumper, and sliders. No winch yet, but I plan to add one eventually. I'm getting mixed feedback between 650's and 700's. What are you guys running/what do you think? I'd prefer not to have to swap out coils after a tank of gas because I found out they were to soft or way too hard. Thanks!

    I have a DCLB with winch, steel bumpers, steel skids, steel sliders, topper and OME suspension. I have the 886 coils which are 660lbs. Just removed my swaybar a week or two ago. Not very much body roll/lean.

    With your access cab I'd think 650's are probably okay. All depends on what you'll be doing I suppose.

    Though I'd love to do 700lb coils on mine some day. :)

    Awesome, and no big sagging issues or anything?

    Haven't measured for a while but I'm probably about 2.5" of overall lift up front.

    Sweet, as long as I get the 2" I'm looking for I should be plenty happy. Who knows, maybe I'll just have to install the shocks and if the lift isn't there, I'll just pull them and crank 'em up a bit.

    I can't imagine 650lb coils (so long as they aren't short in height) not giving you 2" on an access cab.

    Some
    with the weight of your plumber I would go with the 650. I'm running 600lb on my access cab with no weight and I can say that if there was weight up front it would sit a lot lower.
