With this in mind I'd think a 1in lift coil from a 5th gen would only net you a 2-2.5in lift. The other issue is that if you are running extended shocks a 1in lift coil might not have enough free height to stay in the truck at full flex.
I had this issue with the Dobinsons 137v (2in variable rate coil). Even with 10mm trim packers the coils would be loose to the point of falling out (with stock LC shocks).
Also, while FJ, 4th and 5th gen coils technically 'work' I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I bought my as a fun experiment but I will not be keeping them in the long run. The FJ/4th/5th gen coils are a larger diameter so you have to get creative to center them on your oem coil perches...I'm also having an issue where the coil is too wide, to the point that it hits the frame of the truck.

with us being on the same boat with the 210s, in the meantime i want to find an alternative in the meantime since i dont want to wait another month and a half..
i did more investigating and found out that the 210's are similar to a 7.5 wrap that sonoran steel uses, just i think 30lbs different in weight holding, and also not variable spring weight.. the part number sonoran uses is (48131-6A570) and i assume if you use a stiffer shock it would help with carring the load, thus a safe an known shock is the black tokico. (48531-69417) the end total for this setup online is $367.30 after shipping fees.. the only issue is that if im not mistaken it does have driver lean and need a 1/2" spacer for just the driver side.
i may just be pulling the trigger as i think im about to really add some weight in the next 2 weeks with a sleeping platform/drawer system..
**EDIT**
1994 LC
Front right 48131-6A570 18.7 inches
Front left 48131-6A480 19.5 inches
91 LC without alumn wheel
Front right 48131-60230 20.5 inches
Front left 48131-60810 21 inches
91 LC with alumn wheel
Front right 48131-60260 20.9 inches
Front left 48131-60820 21.1 inches
dobinson 210V
475mm (one side) = 18.7inch
185mm (other side) = 19.1 inch
with that being said, theres a .4 inch difference (3/8s difference).. i have a lil skips gas tank skid so i think with the 55 lbs it should bring it down to atleast a 1/4 inch difference.. i think im going to pull the trigger and proceed with the 1994 LC springs
