Stiffer springs on Fortunes Auto 500s
So I bought a set of fortunes off another guy, and they came in the 6k/7k setup which feels too soft for me. A little back story, I previously had FA500s before I went air about 2 years ago, with 8k/7k spring rate and loved it. The current 6k/7k set is almost on full max dampening and I feel that the car feels too floaty still. I'm dropped about 1.5"-2" now. Anyway, would I be able to upgrade to swift springs in 8k/8k without any problems, or would I need it re-valved?

You best bet is to contact them directly. Try them softer and see how it works out. If you add spring rate, floaty feeling will turn into bouncy. Make sure they aren't blown and the preload is set correctly.
