Look up "big boy" springs... your will find all the info you need on this subject.
Just hit Advanced search in the drop down menu on the black bar with "SEARCH" on it.

The following is from Curt at Fastrax on the Sag/Fat boy spring issue from another thread. I installed these springs on my '09 D8 this past fall. They were a little stiff at first, but have softened up now with some use. Super happy with them(I go 250 geared up):
You should also consider the 7042079/7042080 torsion set. They use a tighter spring leg angle which gives you a little more preload at the top of the skids travel.This helps a couple things...it allows you to run the spring on a softer setting and still supports you and the sled properly which extends the life of the spring. The spring will also have more effect at the beginning of travel which helps eliminate the dead spot all these skids have-this unsprung/undampened area of travel is a big reason why the IQ was a bit on the wild side with weight transfer-to much scissor collapse right off the bat.
These are our go to springs for any one over 220#(which I'm one of by the way!) I have a full season on them in my turbo 163 and they are still on the soft setting-haven't had to add any more pre load since installation which indicates that they are not "sacking out".
