2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front Springs

[pharlacher]

Does anyone know how much the front springs are rated at? I am going to put on a new bumper and winch. Not sure what the bumper weighs that is on the truck or how much the new one weighs. I do know the winch will add about 100 lbs. If I do have to change has anyone bought any and changed them?

I got lazy and had a 4X4 shop do my spring swap, $200 (not including the used springs).

Thanks JJ. All I needed to know and then some.

There are heavier springs made for the snow plow package, these might be just the right rating for what you are doing. I have a set I have taken off a 2001 if you are interested. I went to the T-rex system springs.

I put a Warn XD9000i and enforcer puchbar on my truck without replacing the springs. I haven't noticed any bottoming. I don't beat the hell out of my truck either. I think that you just have to ask yourself what kind of a driver you are and then replace them if you do any off roading at speed.
