    I am unsure if anyone produces a set of front coil springs with no lift or very little lift with increased spring rate.

    Have found a few threads about the stock springs lbs being unknown but are guessed to be between 550-580lbs. Ideally looking for a 650 lb coil that fits stock diameter shock body.

    TIA.

    Absolutely they do. It's the point of replacing springs when adding weight.

    Which begs the question - why a higher spring rate?

    My guess would be to reduce or eliminate the nose dive we have on factory springs when braking. I think I'm used to it now but coming from my 2nd gen Tacoma I noticed it immediately.

    Looking for a harsher ride? If you want a higher spring rate, make sure to match the damper so it isn't overwhelmed.

    I did a 1" front level only spacer from Cornfed. Reduced the nosedive significantly! (stock SR5 suspension)

    Already did eibachs shocks and took them off, installed 5100's. Played around with different heights and dont really want to raise it up more than it is currently which is about 1/2".

    So now I am searching for a higher rate spring with no lift.

    650lb/in springs are considered heavy load. it may not seem like a lot on paper but adding 100lb/in in spring rate up front to each corner, without adding weight or doing anything to the rear will affect at speed steering drastically. that inner front tire will have less contact patch since weight shift will move toward the opposite rear tire.

    The ride is gonna suck too. stock shocks aren't going to be able to control those springs if you can find them.
