I can tell you from experience that 99 talls and 1.5” Daystars in the rear ride the same and give the same hub to fender measurement of 23”. That’s with leaving the factory cone bumpstops in and daily driving with no extra weight. The spring rates are much closer than you would think. If I remember correctly, stock is 170# and 890’s are 190#. The only noticeable difference to me is the load handling. The 890’s handle 200+ lbs way better than the 99 talls. In your OP, you mentioned being around 2.75” over stock all around. Since the Superflex are supposed to sit around 3.5” unloaded, whatever extra weight you have daily would probably make you sit around 21.75” to 22” with the 890’s and 21.5” with the 99 tall/ Daystar combo since they don’t handle weight very well, so your ride height estimation quoted above is probably spot on.
If you decide to opt for the 890’s, I am trying to find someone to trade my 890’s for their Superflex. I’d even pay shipping for both sets of coils if you’re interested.
[MENTION=68460]Dezert4Runner[/MENTION] and I are doing a straight swap. My 620s and Superflex for some stock fronts and 890s. I just got the rear 890s installed! Snapped a pic of my first removed Superflex with the two 890s. Funny how much easier it was to get the 890s in than taking the Superflex our
I'll be installing the stock fronts with my 5100s on the top perch, and will expect something like 1.5" over stock based on my weight and that these are used coils.
Fingers crossed for that Cadillac ride!
