Replacing Toytec front coilover coils with stiffer coils. Possible?
I'm a noob to this and couldn't find an answer to this elsewhere on the forums. I installed the Toytec boss kit in March. I have really enjoyed it, however after adding a heavy ass front bumper and rock sliders it really sags in the front. I've considered top plate spacers but I was also wondering if I could replace the toytec coils with something stiffer. I imagine this is possible I just wanted some input! Thanks!

If they are 14" coils you could use King 700lb springs.

Toytec lists on their site 600# and 650# coils for the Boss kit. Which do you have?
They are 2" shocks so you will need a King spring that fits the 2" shock first of all. King's springs should work though.

I was in the same spot a few months ago. Had the TT ultimate lift but eventually added a plate bumper, full skids, a winch, and sliders. I jacked the coilovers way up but it rode like crap. I just decided to go with some OME 886 and call it a day. Much happier now with the ride.

This is what I had in mind. Did the 886 coils direct swap onto the bilsteins?

No, The TT coilover uses a different type of shock so it won't swap over.

Bumping my thread though its a minute old. I'm really thinking I wanna get the 700 lb king shocks. Wanted to double check do I need the 14" or 12". And also wanted to know for sure if it will mount on to the bilstein front coilover?

why not just crank them up a little? thats what I did on my 04 and my 99, rode fine. Thats the beauty of the adjustable coil-overs.

Any problems with maxing out the TT coilovers? I bought my 4R with them preinstalled so I have no idea what they are set at.... but I just put on 255/80/r17's and I'd like to lift it a bit more.
