Yup like Ed said 315 70 17 , figured for the .2 inch it was worth the price dif.

Question on this. How would you determine what you would loose if the new coil is stronger? Or is the idea to give you a general idea what you would loose to keep it from as much sag?
Tom
Actually they will have only slightly less up travel as the same length linear rate spring, the difference is that the progressive rate spring requires only a fraction of the weight to continue compression. Where a linear spring may require 200 lbs to compress it one inch and another 200 lbs to compress it the second inch and so on. a progressive rate spring will maintain it's ride quality as it may take 200 lbs to compress it the first inch but the second inch of compression will only require a fraction of that weigh.
Not sure a progressive rate spring is the solution to overweight bumpers/ front end. A stronger spring capable of holding up the increased weight IMHO is the way to go.
The idea is to compare the current setup you are running and reference the capabilities of your current springs (also known as K-factor or spring constant) and come up with a spring solution that will provide the load carrying capability that you require for your particular set up.
I know a few companies provide heavier load carrying springs (Old Man Emu for one) based on the equipment/ gear you are carrying.
A few others do heavyweight springs also, AEV, Poly, Rock Krawler and Synergy

Woohoo I'm so excited I overslept this morning :yup:
Why sure Scott. You are only planning (at this time) to go max of 35's right? Well if thats the case you are going to want 2.5" of lift at most 3". So it is recommended you go with a spring that size from a GOOD company who offers springs that won't sag or squat. Synergy is one that was mentioned that I have personally seen in action on and off road, and there was no squatting. Evo has an account on here (I assume Mel uses it) and awile back he said on a topic about the evo coils that they should never squat and if they do then you should call them.
So my point of this rant was you have options of springs that will give you heigh you want that won't squat due to heavy bumpers.
