What springs do you run? (1 Viewer)

[ypyun]

i've been talking back and forth with accutune about a lift kit. apparently my truck weighs a lot more than i thought it did. they are recommending the 14" 700 lbs king coil over in front and the icon-52800 3" spring for the rear. granted i'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to suspension tech but the icon-52800 seems heavy duty for my setup.

empty weight:
front: 2940
rear: 2820

full weight:
front: 2920
rear: 3440

1) how much does your truck weigh?
2) what springs do you use?
3) what is your lift?

They know what they are doing.
I like progressive rear spring. They are a lot more comfortable and allow for longer travel rear shocks when the time comes. Not sure if Icon 52800 is progressive, dual rate or linear and their rate is.

My 470 weigh about 5450 lbs. Run Dobinsons C59-701V and it's perfect spring rate wise but sits too tall to my liking. Its 24.5" from center of wheel to top of fender opening.

C59-749V - 3" with 600-800LBS or more of constant weight - variable rate coil
C59-849V - 3" long travel, 1000LBS+ constant rear load

Stock springs, 5100s front and rear on stock height setting.

I was not interested in a suspension lift for a couple reasons and the plan is to go slightly taller on tires. Rides terrific on/off road.

*Edited post after looking at your build thread and that you were planning on a mild lift. Still a little surprised at those weight recommendations looking at what you have done thus far to your GX. Doesn't seem like you should be that heavy.

Your weight isn't that bad. GVWR is 6600.
I'm at ~7000 in total sans driver
Front ~3000
Rear ~4000

I've changed out to the heavy rear springs which has improved things, but I'd like it firmer. I'm about to order the (unlisted in US) stiffer rear shocks from them.

There's gotta be 460's that weigh more than mine. Largest items are AL front bumper w/ synth line winch, rear tire carrier, rear seats replaced w/ rear drawers and fridge, roof rack w/ 270 awning. I don't have a rear bumper or under armor.

I haven't corner weighted mine yet but I suspect it's similar to yours unloaded - I haven't added too many things. Skids, alum roof rack, larger tires, suspension, which probably come up to ~200 lb over stock, fully fueled?

I'm running Dobinsons IMS (50700/50701) with C59-302 front and C59-327 rear (586lb/in and 271lb/in respectively). I had aimed for 2 inch lift front and rear, retaining the factory rake, but right now it's sitting a little rear high as I don't have the rear tire carrier built yet, which should add another 50lbs at the very rear and hopefully level it out. Future plans include sliders and eventually a winch, where I may need to change out front springs.
