How much stiffer are yall talkin? I have thought of this before, and I would think that +100 - +200 pounds per side would be plenty, if not overkill, but i am not too familiar with springs and suspension.
Two things to consider:
1. Will stiffer springs effect breaking performance?
2. IF you are going to do a leveling kit, put the spacer in the strut, not above it. This might compress your spring a little bit more. (this is of no help for those who go the wrong (jk), i mean opposite direction
, (down)).

and i wasnt talking about a spacer int he strut i was talking about a stiffer coil and the same ram 1500 4x4 spacer i use now....on the outside i just dont want binding ball joints.....check out that first picture i put up with the king shocks, stock upper and lower arms with a tab for the mounts

that baja concept truck is stock uppers and lowers with tabs welded in to accept the king coilover, this would be IDEAL if we could make a fork or some type of adpater to place in some coilovers, im going over all the most reasonable and cost effective options for someone who just wants a mid travel kit, from the way the things are going, looks like im giong to have to get geometrical over here and bust out some crazy ****! i think our best bet is going to be putting some coilovers in there and ill see if i can fab up a adapter piece.
ram struts have already tried to be used there was an article somewere someone wrote up and couldnt get it to work, springs are too wide.
i just want a little more lift in the front i want 33's comfortably.
