Pretty much.
Just prefer to see someone use them versus just to sell them.
You would need to get a lift setup for the front and extended travel shocks for the rear it looks like on your ride. Other things might have to be changed in the long run.

You will need some wieght in the rear, or you might not be happy with the truck like fill of them.

How are those coils? I am researching more stiffer coils for my runner to handle the extra weight of the bumper, rtt and gear on runs. Currently running MetalTech HD Progressive rear springs with extended travel shocks.

Just googled. I had the FJ overland before these 200/300. Cant really go by the #s in comparison.

These did give me more flex than the FJs. They did ok when I'm loaded down with gear to camping and I'm heavy on that part, just when putting 3 wheel Barrow loads of firewood on the rack also, I would then hit my bump stops. Take into consideration that I had spacers with them and at 4.5" lift in the back.
 
[MENTION=4242]mysticz[/MENTION] the only difference is, I'm not running a RTT.
I recieved a set of 701s also that I'm running now. Not loaded with camping gear, a little rough but manageable.
When DD, they give me 4.5" lift with no spacers.

So your running the 701's which is model C59-701V. Which is rate at 250kg (550lbs) constant load.

The 677's which is model C59-677V Rated at constant load 160kg (350lbs)

Please post in the future your further experience on the 701's those might be better suit for my Runner. Thx

Sound about right on the numbers.
As far as i can tell, if i loaded down with firewood, i might come down to the bump stops on harder extreme trails.

My rides front suspension isn't normal to others also, harsher ride at 4.5" on the front also. So that might not allow some of the weight to distribute to the front and rest on the rear.

With all this said, and you having constant weight on top(RTT), my personal experience with different coils, 701s might be a better choice,
If you wish to try these to see for yourself in practical use, I have no problem with that.
If you decide to move up to to heavier coils later, just pass these along to a worthy/needy person.

Thanks but the 677's are almost the same rating at my MT HD Coils, i know for sure I need to upgrade to something with a 450-500+ lb rating with all the extra weight. I am planning to change out the current suspension to Kings so I will add those 701's to my list.

Dobinsons is now also making a C59-749V, which I currently have. These can really handle added weight. For trail runs when I have all my tools loaded and other items, they are great. I fully unloaded the 4Runner the other week and it's harsh. Going to have to keep the tools always loaded for a better ride. If you are running bumpers, large and heavy tires, RTT, drawers and such, these may actually be better.

They are rated at constant 400kg (880lbs) might be alittle to much for my needs. I only carry RTT on trips rest of time stored. Thx for info anyway.

There was supposed to be snow up the hill today or tomorrow. Wondering if anyone is going to check. I would be camping if our friend's baby shower wasn't today.
 
if any of you plan to hit mormon immigrant trail for some snow wheeling when the snow comes shoot me a PM. this is my first year with a 4wd and BOTH of my 4wd buddies cant go (one has a rig that wont pass smog and one moved out of state).
