Front Springs for V8 650lb or 700lb?

What kind of experience with each with the V8. With or without aftermarket front Bumper

I have a V6 and aftermarket plate bumper, icon coilovers 650# springs ride great. My understanding, even with the V8, you should only run the 700# if you have lots of armor. Say plate bumper, winch and skids. Maybe the V8 guys will shut me up lol.

I've got a set of Elka 2.5's with a 650# 14" spring. Feels perfect and gave me all the height I needed.

When I add a bumper and or winch I'll beef up to 700#

Springs

I have run both springs in mine. I was planning to get an aftermarket front bumper with winch. I have the V8 with a full skid package. Even without the front bumper and winch, I thought they were a little too stiff. So basically unless you have a lot of weight like others have said I would stick with the 650lb.

I have 600# springs on my Fox ISP's, front bumper, no skid (yet), and no winch. About perfect now, and expect a little sag with the skid install in the next week or so. To cover yourself, i'd go with 650lb'ers. V8 all the way!

I had 650 when they shipped mine and I had to preload a ton to get the height. They swapped them to 700 and much better.

03 v8 with ARB bumper and winch. I now have full skids and rtt too.

I have 700 pound springs and no regrets, rides like a cloud. That said, I have never had the sway bar on with these springs. If I put it on with the preload that I have I'm sure it would be a little different.

Fine on the street, would slam to the bumpstops offroad.

No front sway bar.
