[QUOTE="skiznits, post: 435600, member: 20361"] I went and did my homework and am reporting back. Dayton springs and many others say the following for stock replacement: FRONT Regular duty 100 lb/in Heavy duty 172 lb/in REAR Regular duty 130lb/in Heaviest duty 254lb/in 🥵 They didn't have the lb/in... so I took the spring rating weight and divided it by the free arch height in inches. Hope that is close. But idk. 172 in the front seems sorta stiff. Then again there is an engine there. I do have a hard top and a steel roof rack and slightly heavier rear bumper. So probably 250 lbs over stock configuration. Not expecting many replies but thought I'd post what I found. [/QUOTE]
