I have the cc1708s. and I have talked to people who chose the cc1706. they don't seem to be excessive.
if you get ram OE springs from a diesel. they are going to be obnoxious. tight. might even be a constant rate spring.
scroll all the way down in the linked chart.

Right now the truck is 1 3/4 lower in the front then the back even with the 2 inch lift so I would be happy with a spring that is 1 inch longer then stock then that will give me 3/4 inch lower in the front witch would be perfect really, but question is can i use a 1 inch longer spring in the front with the 2 inch spacer that's there right now?? So then I gain 3 inches in the front? I don't want to go with a 2 inch longer spring and take out my spacer in the front because the truck will probably still be far from being level if you know what I mean

If you haul stuff in the bed, or pull trailers, you really don't want the truck level, when it isn't loaded......

I never really haul anything maybe just my ATV so if the front was 3/4 lower in the front that would be just right, not a work truck just something to haul might ATV with
