    Funny, I ended up getting 600lbs springs I think when I got my GB. I did not tell them what to give me, that's just what I ended up getting. How can I confirm they are 600lbs. Should be written on the springs right? It says E300-14-600.

    How do they feel,
    do you have any added weight up front? How do you like them? I'm torn between 650 and 700. It's still a DD but gets a workout often off road. 3rd world problems are the worst.

    Solo Motorsports. If you have any questions about it, let me know. Very simple to setup, and works awesome.

    That means the springs have a 3" inside diameter, 14" in length, and 600lb rate.

    Very nice. Pretty easy to weld up? Do they tell you where to weld em on to get the right shock angle?

    I have a buddy that's a skilled fabricator, so I took his lead. When I talked to Solo, they said to just set it up at full bump, and the rest works itself out. You can use an 8" or 10" stroke shock. 2.5" was a bit too big, a 2.0 would have been much easier.

    Remote resi too, because at full bump my resist ours are very close to hitting the hoop.

    They have no instructions whatsoever. You need to set the leaves up to cycle the suspension as you instal it. Lots of test fitting, lots of measuring twice. Lots more test fitting and some tacks.

    Also, my setup is Deaver J59's, and 10x2.5" Kings. I'm pretty sure it's the lead pack Solo designed this kit around, as it works incredibly well. A 10x2" remote resi shock is perfect for this setup.

    My issue with the 2.5's is that the body is so big, there's very little clearance at the frame.

    I will be honest and say that the ride seems to be harsher but I'm fine with that. It is a truck after all. :) I do not have any added weight up front. 650 would be your best bet IMO.

    Cool, thanks for that info. :)

    I second this idea. Really like to do some research then purchase a set for my rig!! What do y'all think the chances are we can get a GB together??

    Thanks for y'all time :)

    King will make remote resi coilovers for the front, but they will add close to $400 to the cost.
