Aftermarket Heavy Duty Springs for the Badlands SAS (Yellow) Shocks?

[Nomad_MTN_Mule]

I currently have the Maxlider 4" lift on my vehicle. I really love the factory Bilsteen Shocks but need to upgrade my springs to 6-700lb ones. I am running Aftermarket everything and need springs to support the extra weight. I am not looking at buying new coilovers just the springs. If you have any suggestions, please list a link.

Dumb question but why the need to go up on rate? Ford doesn't currently publish what the stock spring rates are but do know there're a bunch of combos depending on body style, SAS or non-SAS, BL, tow/no tow, engine and model. My assumption is the springs with factory tow would probably have the highest rating but have no idea how one would figure out what that is or how much less it is below what you're looking for.

Hate to even suggest but are air bags even an option?

Not an option. I do a lot of overlanding so I haul a lot of weight on my rig. I believe the load rate is low-medium (2-400lbs). I need about 6-700lbs. Cant use bags, because I need the articulation when offroading and bags hinder that.

I tired to fit ome springs on a Sasquatch strut but don’t have a wall mounted spring compressor to fit them on. I have them for sale if your interested here’s a link to the thread with info.

Makes sense.

Could be wrong but I believe Old Man Emu offers different springs.

Yea, I was looking at them. They stat they have to be used for their shocks though. I might just order them and see fi they fit

Might be worth a shot. Have you reached out to Bilstien for any possible options?

What did you find out?

Nothing. Decided to use Coil Over Stabilizer Spacers. Works perfect on and off road at max flex

Where did you get the "coil over stabilizer spacers"..... and what exactly are they?
I too do a lot of back-country camping carrying a lot of weight and pulling an off-road trailer.

That's what I thought you meant.
Thanks. I may try some. I don't need them all of the time but should be easily installed and removed......cheap too!

I got the 1-1/4 ones for the front and back when I have my RTT on and only the fronts without it.
