I was looking hard at the front suspension
design I was working on, and I have come
to the conclusion that I can't use a single
longer and heavier spring, there just isn't
enough room to get the parts I want  to make
in there, so I'm thinking of twin Coilovers,  one
front side and one backside of the A-arms,
so I guess in a few months I might have a coilover,
widened and taller front suspension system

Man this is going to get expensive, but the
result should be worth while, I can even get
a heavier spring than what I think I need for
more of a level ride height

Why not think air suspension. There are air struts for the front, and air bags for the rear. The air struts replace the original struts and remove the coil, and the rear bags replace the rear coils.

are you looking for somthing like a duel rate coilover?  one with harder springs for road use and a softer spring for off road.

No, I just need a 650-700 Lb
spring rate to keep the front end
from sagging, and I can't find any
higher rate than 400 Lb for a single
Coilover Spring

I'm making a air system for my truck using firestone air bags form the lift axles on dump trucks and a air compresor with an air tank and a electric dump valve for ajustability. Hope that helps.
