I've been communicating with a tech expert at Bilstein about their suspension components for the 200 series. He is the guy who was on the Bilstein product development team for their suspension products on the 200 series and who coordinated the work to use @Robert B 's 2019 for design and testing. I highly recommend you read Robert's thread if you have any interest in Bilsteins and/or are looking to replace your suspension.

Part #53-297686
Load: 400 lb constant
Approximate lift: 400 lb constant load 1.50"; no load 2.00-2.15"
Compression: 220 lb/in
Availability: "very soon"

"So far the 650s have worked optimally even with front ARB w/winch. Would not be the package you want to go with if you are weighted and trying to maximize height. I do believe that 700lb springs are in the works though."

Did anyone notice I used Bilstein's marketing colors?
