What Springs to Upgrade To On 6” BDS Lift W/ Fox 2.5 Coilovers

So i feel my front sags a little and the ride quality isn’t that great in the front I feel like I have too much preload to get extra height to match the rear.

I’m thinking 700lb springs would work on the coil over but am not sure if I need a 14” spring with 700lb rating or what.

The extended length of the coil over is 26.42 and it uses a 16” x 600lb. spring.

I hope getting heavier rated springs will allow for a softer ride and not have to use as much preload. Please let me know y’all’s thoughts

 

If you take some measurements, I can probably let you know where you're at with preload and if you can still add more. Ride quality will mostly be from the valving and possibly tire rating. I believe the spring that is on that coilover is a 16" x 600lb spring.

 

Just curious why would go with a shorter 14" spring if the spring length is 16" that comes with the coilovers?

 

Where might I ask are you able to get the stiffer spring from? I have the 6" kit also but want to go taller but also want stiffer due to me having steel bumper and winch up front.

This is the size Fox gave me when I talked to them.

Would a 650lb or 700lb spring help with a little lift if I have no weight up front? Keeping the same preload settings.

 

I went with the 650 without weight and it gave me the lift I need with the original pre load that the coilovers came with. I'm going to 700 when I get my bumper and winch.

 

For close to stock weight, you should add preload to get the desired ride height. Getting a stiffer spring is not the best solution for that. This is why most of these front coilovers are adjustable.
