Bought a pair of used LC coils >>>>
Found these on Craigslist for $75. I think they are 7 wrap. looks like two pink, light blue & white on one and two pink, dark blue, and white on the other <- I think this goes on driver side as it's a little taller
Can any of you guys who have installed these give me an idea how much lift I can expect installing in back of my 2000 T4R?
Thanks

I have read every thread I could find on this forum regarding LC coils and suspension lifts at least once.
I think the two dots on my coils look pink. If the top two dots are purple then some members refer to them as 7.5 wrap. I have not been able to find any thread with info on how much lift 7 wrap or 7.5 wrap gives

You’ll sit at 25” + ish hub to fender.unsettled with no extra weight. Keep in mind they are soft and linear so more weigh the more the compres.
I ended up taking out the internal cone bumosops which took away ~3/8-1/2” plus I have a storage box and full size BFg spare. It’s settled a bit.. trust me you will get a good 4-5 “lift unless you are running a constant 300-400 lbs in rear then you’ll be closer to 3.5 -4 “. I couldn’t be happier with the flex and ride especially with the price point it just takes research and trail to get it what you like/want
I have 3” lift in front and I get a 1” rake when not fully loaded. When loaded I level out or have a slight rake. That is the nature of these because they are,again, linear.
Also springs I got from a rig that had 280k springs will very depending on age and wear.
Tried to find pics that would represent.

No prob. The answers are out there I spent hours researching and was still shocked but how much lift I got. I even switched back to my old set up and the switch again to the LC springs. Happy I did
