I am adding about 450lbs of winch, mount, sliders, and belly skids.. I know I am going to see a little bit of sag. I like the SAS shocks, see no need to toss them. Is there any aftermarket heavier rate springs that would return the ride height to stock while using SAS shocks?

I haven't seen anything yet. I am sure the Eibach or Geiser will have something soon. I plan to add similar weight to mine and will be needing stronger springs.

I don't see any springs on that link, just complete lifts. Am I missing something?

I have been looking for stiffer springs as well to add to the existing Sasquatch shocks, but haven't seen anyone that makes them yet. I really just need them in the front to level the Bronco, and reduce body roll a bit.
They are just compete kits. I was just sharing the only option I've seen so far that's specifically geared towards higher loads.

weight is a problem you will need a custom spring rate look into eibach or billstein - i used a coilover from king shocks and replaced the included spring with a higher rated custom set after weighing the bronco on truck scales.

I installed a 1.25 perch collar in the front for mine. I’ll wait until the after market matures before I grade further

If you have a 2.3, could buy front springs from the 2.7...

Ordered the OME/ARB heavy front springs for the 2.7L to account for my winch/mount and some of my sliders. I have a FE, so I am hoping the heavy springs level out the Bronco with the .75" lift and take care of the weight of the winch. Going to wait and see how it looks to address the rear. I am planning on keeping my stock Bilsteins.

If someone has stock springs that they have removed I have the ability to test the spring rate. I just need a spring to test. It would be nice to know what the factory spring is for a baseline.

I'm sure you would have no problem selling your Sas stuff here (maybe to me) if you get the OME. My past experience with OME has been great. I'd go that route but don't want 2" lift, maybe you don't either.

Did installing that 1.25 collar help out? Where did you order just the 1.25 or did you order the 2.5 kit and just use the rear collars in the front. I just installed and heavy winch and front bumper and wanting to do the same thing till someone releases just coils.

ARB OME heavy front coils are available now from 4whp for $214. For a SAS V6, the part number is OME 3200. According to OME, it should compensate for the winch plus give you about .75" from stock. I am thinking that this level me out as well.

YouTuber Sarah-n-Tuned did the opposite, she used her stock springs with some Bilstein coilvers.

I am not desert racing and the stock SAS Bilsteins should be absolutely fine for me, I just want higher spring rates. I am going to try the fronts first and then maybe do the back after I see how camping gear/fridge affect the rear.
