Who runs 700lbs springs?

Looking at changing out my stock 13" 650 lbs springs on my Icon coilovers. I'd like to go to 14" to run less pre-load but was wondering if I should stick with my 650s or move up to 700?

I'm currently running CBI t3 aluminum bumper w/hoop up front and steel sliders. I plan on getting a winch and steel skids as well.

Would 700 be too stiff? I don't plan on adding a 2nd battery either.

 

It will stiffen slightly at first, but once you add all those add ons the ride may soften back.

 

I run 700lbs Spring on my extended travel Icons. I don't have the extra weight of a bumper and I think it rides nice on road. Drives really smooth off-road at high speed. I say go for it.

 

Running 700’s with my ADS and stock bumper. I also don’t run a sway bar and I love the way it rides/drives.

 

Not sure if that will be the case because the springs are linear?

 

Can't speak to the Icons, but I'm running 700lb Kings with compression adjusters, C4 LoPro, and Warn M8000 with synthetic. Not harsh at all. I've got the adjusters dialed down to 6 clicks front, 3 rear. Ride is perfect on road. Better than the OEM OR suspension.

Same set up on the Gen1 (less the compression adjusters) and the 700lb coils were a bit harsh on road. When I pulled the winch out to put on the Gen3, the ride is definitely what I would consider too harsh.

It seems 700's are the sweet spot on the Gen3 if you are adding weight by way of bumper / winch.

 

It'll be perfect. Love mine. Bumper is steel but you'll be fine
