Front Spring setup for weight.

Sorry for another one of these threads, but I couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

Goal : I am looking for 2 inch lift all around.

Current setup

Front :
Bilstein 6112 with the springs it ships with (initially set to 2" with the clips but is now less).
RCI skids
Dual Battery
Full length front steel bumper
Adding : winch, sliders

Rear:
Fox 2.0 IFP shocks
Dobinsons C59-327 (getting just over 2 inches of lift)
Custom dual drawers with stuff in em
Cargo box on roof rack
Compressor
Adding : Steel bumper

So I think I'm probably set for the rear with this setup but the front is throwing me for a loop.

I am confused about what spring rate to get 500s or 700s from dobinsons? or 600/650 from somewhere else? And what clip setting to set on my 6112s.
I think the best thing for shock life is to set the clips at the "lowest setting" (does that mean clip #1 and 2?) - and if I do that, what length coils do I need for a 2 inch lift with all that weight on the front? And what spring rate?

So bamboozled right now!

I have a TRD Pro that came with a 2 inch lift. I replaced the front bumper with a Shrockwork bumper. It weighs about a 130lb with the winch. I left the 5100 Bilstein rear shocks as is and replaced the front shocks and spring with a Bilstein 6112 set. The spring was rated 650lb. I was very happy how it turned out. It came out straight and leveled.

What clips are your 6112 set to and how is the ride offroad?

Right tire is on the bottom. Left tire is 5 up from the bottom but it is level. I was told that the engine is heavier on the left side. So the rings are set higher on the left to compensate.

There is a breaking period so the front may ride a inch or so higher for a little while.

The ride is interesting. It’s on the firm side. It handles more like a sports car than a SUV. You feel the small bumps but bigger ones are much softer. I can fly over large humps and the landing is smooth with little nose dive. Overall I’m happy with the ride. If it was a little softer for the daily driving it would be perfect.
