Why do you want to do that?

Some people think springs control bottoming is all i can see, shocks do that not springs people lol. that being said the 250 coils are longer than stock shocks you would need to run like a 16 inch stroke shock to run that spring in a coilover setup. I doubt the stocker springs are even 12 inches long uncompressed. Remember the rule of thumb(or wrist) you want your spring double your shock stroke

Ya and they are going to be very stiff...

the reason I am wondering is because i have already a 6 inch lift with 37s and a very heavy bumper. would like to put a winch in there as well. i have 1.5 inch coil spacer in there however they would terrible. i would just like to get a taller and more heavy duty spring to get those spacers out of there.

Your best bet it changing to a fox or f150 lifts type coilover and get 800lb sprig for them. Im not sure if anyone sells a heavier stock sized coil . Big heavy bumper and winch definately call for heavycoils.
