i ran 300/400 on a ranger with a 302 and camburg unequal length beams. Originally i had 350/450 but it was too stiff... when I lightened it up, the truck felt way better... .with that being said I know a lot of people prefer the 350/450...

I believe I’m now at 350/450 on ttb swapped gmc sonoma with explorer beams, extended 4.5”, 6.0 LS and I think I even want to go up a little more

Thank for responding. I’m 20years old. Trying to figure this out on my own. And whatever info I can find.

Get us some more of the info mentioned below. Pictures help too!
How Does the truck drive?
How much uptravel do u have at RH with current spring rate?
How much preload?
How long are the springs?
Are u on the primary spring or both at RH?
How far until the secondary kicks in at RH?
I am sure some of the shock guys will chime in that know way more than me lol.
350 or 450 doesn't seem to be way off.

This post from ads shocks helped me figure out my spring rates as a fellow guy trying to figure it all out.
