    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    I am running 14" 700# springs. I have also run 14" 600# springs but with the bumper i had way too much preload dialed in.

    do you still need to preload the 700# springs to get the lift you want?

    A little bit but not much. The 600# springs rode sooo nicely before i got the bumper. If you aren't installing a bumper i would run 600# or 650# in a 14".

    I'm running 600s right now and they are fucking nice! I know that if I do add too much weight they'll have to be replaced but for now I love them!

    already have a brute force front with a 9k winch, plus full skids underneath... so im guessing 700# springs???? just not sure if I want to try to get the 16" ones or stick with the 14's.

    14" 700# is what you need. Downsouth Motorsports sells them. Just make sure you specifically ask for the one with less windings. They have 2 versions and one will hit your uca under droop as Dave Eli found out for us.

    Doing great. I wish i had done them first instead of the aal for what i do. They just have to have weight on them and they are smooth.

    Sounds good, I love the expos! Have had mine for about 5 months now. Just wasn't sure if the shackle flip would wear them out or take some of the lift away.

    Sorry i was only talking about the springs being cheaper. With king you can order them with 700# springs on there ready to go.

    might wait till black Friday to save some bucks.

    If you want to call the spring over shock stock crap a coilover then go ahead. A coilover is a real setup. Mr technically right. ;)
