Premier and I are doing the same thing fitting King Springs to the OME strut.
I made some enquires into the springs available from King and they do supply an more heavier duty spring than the KTFR-101HD.
The spring is the KTFR- 101HDD. It has a free length of 390mm and uses Dia. 18mm wire. It also is the new generation X5K wire (high stress). I ordered both from Repco and picked them up today with the assurance that I could return a set without any problem.
Here is the two together.
Another shot out of the packaging.
And here is a shot with the comparison between the original Toyota spring on the left HD middle and the HHD on the right.
I will be fitting both the Kings to the truck on Wednesday for a comparison. Obviously the HHD will possible raise the suspension up around the 790 - 800 range. It would be good to just fit and look anyway and to gather some tech stats. But I do find the HDD spring interesting as you could use a set of Billies and use the lower circlip positions to achieve a 50mm lift without preloading the spring as much.
Will keep everyone posted on the stats of the lift and of course plenty of photos.
Cheers
Mark
