So, you're gonna add heavier springs to your off-road toyota tacoma, 4runner, gx, tundra, etc... Why can't you just swap them over? This is one of the biggest mistakes i see with overland suspension setups regardless of how good the shocks you're running are. I find alot of folks "upgrade" their spring rate instead of just rebuilding their shocks, although heavier rate springs do have their place! For 80-140 lbs addtional front end weight 650s work great and anything 150+ will require 700s. With IFS these numbers are not actually your spring rate at the wheel, which will be much lower than at the coilover. This is actually an advantage, it helps with quick changes of direction, reduces the impact of seal stiction, and requires less piston bleed since you can increase the spring rate at the damper.

Next video will be a deep dive into shock valving, it'll be super boring and technical so make sure you stay at the edge of your seats for that.
