I was thinking on getting a new king suspension. I was wondering how many pound springs should I get for the front considering I have all this extra metal. Bumpers and sliders and don’t forget the snorkel haha

550 will be a little softer than stock, with your extra bumper weight 650 might put you about stock ride. Do you have a winch? Can’t tell, if so, 700 would be max, might be a little stiff without a winch.

Thanks I was thinking about the same 650, someone was telling me 600 but I feel that’s not enough I would bottom out

Depends on your personal preferences and what you do with the truck. 550 is close to the stock spring rating, IIRC. If you didn’t have a lot of extra weight up front, 600 might be perfect. I had 600 pound springs on a ‘10 and they were great until I started adding weight to the front. It still rode great but without a sway bar, I started getting some good body roll on the road. So if you’re keeping your sway bar, you might like it, I went to the 650. I’ve seen 700’s on front with lots of armor, winch, lights etc, that’d be the max I’d go unless you go long travel and start bouncing around then 700 is a good starting point.
