Default D2 Stock Spring Rates?

Anybody know what the stock spring rate is on a D2? Length too would be great. Just curious... Trying to figure out what springs to get for my truck. The goal is support a winch bumper and cargo loads, while not lifting the truck much. I'd like to only raise it 1", not 2+.

Alternatively, if somebody could give me a photo, wire diameter and coil diameter I can calculate it... roughly.

actually it goes by color on the springs.

I know no disco one you need new front springs. Not sure if you need new ones for a regular disco two.

I dont believe you do. last winch install didnt need different coils.
check with your local parts dept. If you own a 99-2003 its not a bad to install upgraded springs cause the front springs are known to break. I install them at least once a month.

You can not buy OME or RTE springs that will only raise one inch, 2"s plus is the norm.
If you are going off where you need a bumper and a winch you want a little more lift.
Your truck has already dropped an inch or more since new, Rover coils never held up well, so a 2" OME lift is only going to be an inch taller then new.
