Re-building coilovers, what length/ weight coils?

Good afternoon all.
At some point in the near future I plan on rebuilding my coilovers, I have 2.5 Fox RR and I want them to be rebuilt to "extended" length. I would like to be able to crank them to about a solid 2.5-3" of lift. I'm pretty sure my coils are about worn out so I was planning on having them replaced as well. My question is what length of coils should I order for this extended length with 3 inches of lift?
Basically I want "mid Travel", I already have uniball UCAs also. After searching I still have no idea what length coils to get.


I want to be in the middle-ground of bounciness/ stiffness, maybe leaning toward the stiffer side so I was thinking 650lb coils? I

If this is something I should just call DSM about I can do that, I just wanted the opinion of the Taco Experts here first

PS: I plan on getting Eibach coils since thats what Fox uses from the factory.

thanks in advance!

amount of armor/ weight you have added to the vehicle makes the difference as to what weight coil to get. If you're heavily armored with winch etc. I would go with 700# 14". thats my 2 cents

 

I have a light bar and 3 Hella 9" Ralleyes so not much weight.. I'm thinking 14" 650# then?

 

Yes 4wd DCSB

 

I installed Eibach #630 in preparation for adding an ARB plate bumper and winch combo, I thought it was a little stiff prior to adding the bumper and winch to my 09ORD DC, and it was bouncy over rocks, but okay on the street. Since then I have also added Budbuilt 3/16" steel armor, M31 battery, ARB CM12 compressor, and 100amp accessory wiring block. I have ordered #700 springs to compensate as my #630s are cranked up to where I am losing travel, and I want to remove the sway bar. I think that #650 will be a little stiff, but you may want that kind of ride. Disconnecting the sway will soften the ride as well. I'm not sure how much the Foxes can be cranked down (lower preload) to adjust your height.

 

I plan on getting the fixed rebuilt to extended travel and crank them to a 2.75-3" lift

 

Bump, having trouble finding the 630# coils does anyone have a source?

 

I believe they are the Toytec coils people use on their 5100's. They can't be used on your Fox's.

 

Wow. My apologies. I looked them up and they are 620# coils. They arrived as part of the Toytec Ultimate kit I purchased years ago.

If you want just the coils, they are here:http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Toytec-3-lift-front-coil-springs_p_1205.html.

Assembled, with sway bar drops and wrenches are here:http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/ToytecBilstein-5100-adjustable-coilovers-_p_1171.html

Hope this helps.
