    Buy shock seals and uniballs at http://shockseals.com/ I’ll be making a rebuild how to eventually. The hardest part on those oem length coil overs is getting the springs off since they don’t fit most spring compressors.

    Why didn't you need to preload them as much?

    spring rate. 600# as in it takes 600 pounds to compress the spring every inch. 650# takes 50 pounds more per inch which is enough to raise the truck without as much preload
