Harder front coil-springs

I just installed my new ~220pound buckstop Bumper and I noticed that how easily the front end bottoms now.

Anyway, I have Toughcountry 5" spacer lift kit wich includes pitman and control arms too, but I was wondering that where I can find 5" longer and a little harder front springs to my 1998/1999 3500 4x4? Then I could drop those front spacers of.

Thank you!

I have skyjacker d25 springs on my truck. I have a 200 pound custom front bumper and it supports it well. It rides like a truck now, whereas the stock springs rode like a caddy. they sell them on summitracing.com the ones you want are the sja-d45 springs. they are about 170.00

Yeah, you got it. I dont want it riding like a truck or caddy like a stock, but something between of them, so little harsher ride than completly stock with my buckstop bumper.

So are those d45 allright then?

What was the stock rating? Because I dont know nothing about those D-ratings.

I would have to say that the front of my truck is about the same weight as yours. they ride a LOT softer than my old 78 chevy. they are a little heavier than the factory springs. I would say qith the chevy being a 10 for harshness, and factory being a 4, these put me about a 6. I can feel the road, but don't get beat around.

Ok. Just to be sure, you just spoke about your d25 ?

Anyway, those springs are harsher with buckstop than stock springs with stock bumper?

They'll make you whatever you want...stock height, heavier coils, lift coils, whatever. Just tell them what you want!

They're a little slow on making them though!
