Sasquatch perch collars or Eibach HD springs?

[TLO]

I'm basically wanting to get my ride height/clearance back after being fully overland loaded (plus 13k pound winch).
I bottom out more on the stock Sasquatch Bilsteins, particularly at the front.
I was thinking 1" collars from BroncBuster (F/R) as an option but since the springs have to come off anyway, maybe swap in the HD (pro truck 2.0) springs from Eibach.
I think the springs alone give you some lift and with the 500Lb spring rate, I shouldn't sag as much as stock....?

Thoughts?

Nobody?

I would go with Springs, I did spaces on my F150, and then took them off and did springs, ride was much better with springs.

I may look into the springs for mine, my wife asked me to drive it for a year before I get to crazy.

I always advise people away from spacers if they can make up that lift with actual components designed for more travel.

I have the Eibach springs. They are nice.

same here started with collars not run eibach springs

Did you go with the HD springs or the regular Eibachs?
Both offer some lift over stock Squatch?
I just wanna basically get back (and maybe add an inch) over where I was before all my gear loaded up.

I’m running the Eibach springs and I’m pretty happy with them

Do yourself a favor, invest in the springs!
Don’t think twice!

Or 6100s much better than SAS 2.0s which will eventually fall apart a d don't ride as well.

Mostly just following this thread but here's what I can contribute: I put the Eibach Pro Truck Coilover 2.0's on last year, with the standard springs (fronts are 450#'s). I have a winch up front now which has me putting the fronts at max preload and the rears at almost minimum preload to get the ride height/attitude I want, but it still is a little low in the front and dives a little at stops. I just got off the phone with Eibach. I can get new HD springs and swap them out at $125 each, which would give me the choice of going with a 500# or 550# spring. OR get whole front coilover assemblies for $357 each, but only available with the 500# spring. I'll probably go with buying the 500# springs, but I would like to know for sure that this will be enough to pick the front up enough and allow me to back off the preload.

Is Eibach selling the coil over 2.0 kit with those higher rate spring now?
So weird that the front/rear rates seem so out of wack

Yeah, the standard 2.0 springs on the front are 450#. You can get the HD full assembly which is the 500# spring (this contradicts what someone else said in this thread, they said the HD came with 550# front springs, just relaying what Eibach told me). Eibach told me you could get the 550# "springs only" but would have to disassemble your kit and swap them out yourself.
