Thanks, Mike! Appreciate the info.

Can you get the springs in a different color other than the periwinkle blue? I keep hearing good things about this suspension from the GX470 guys. Even a close friend of mine just put this on his Sequoia.

I just got mine in red. They also offer black. If you want either of those colors you need to contact them direct and they will send you an invoice.

Yes we do. There's a breakdown in the first post of this thread that shows each part number and color options. Not every coil we offer though is in multiple colors.

No news on those right now, sorry.

Thanks for the reply, I hope development is still going on

What was the issue with the first test articles ?

Thanks Mike. I've attached the measurements before and after moving to the 0.85" perch.

5100's at 0" Perch
Pre 8/1/2018 Install

Driver Passenger Lean
Front 36.75 37.25 -0.50
Rear 39.25 39.75 -0.50
Rake 2.50 2.50

5100's at 0.85" Perch
Post 8/1/2018 Install (+.85")

Driver Passenger Lean
Front 37.25 38.25 -1.00
Rear 38.75 39.75 -1.00
Rake 1.50 1.50

I have the the C59-300's upfront too, and recently moved up to the 0.85" setting.

The Good: Looks much better, and there's no rubbing in the front. Rake is now 1.5" (rear to front)

The Bad: The driver's front raised 0.5" and the passenger front raised 1.0"; therefore the lean is now at 1.0". Also, the couldn't get the alignment within spec, so it's pulling a bit.

So.....I just purchased the adjustable SPC upper control arms, so hopefully this can bring it within spec, and help with the lean.

I'm considering having them move the lift up to the 1.75" perch. I think it would still have some rake to it, I'm just worried about the alignment - but with the new SPC arms, I think I should be ok. Any thoughts??

In my haste/excitement/stupidity, I forgot to measure the fender gap before and after. Honestly with the amount of weight that's in it now and the spring preload, I am thinking it's closer to 2.5"-3". It will probably settle some too I think. Ride feels pretty good (was expecting a harsher ride).

I can post my alignment sheet later. Shop said they had a little trouble getting one number in spec but I can't recall what it was. Honestly the alignment specs baffle me and I dont really know much about them.

What's the measured rake?

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for the past 5-6 days for a business trip.

You're in uncharted waters basically by adding preload to our coils with those 5100's, and I think that's why no one else has chimed in with help or opinions. Everyone else is running the appropriate height coil at the lowest clip height. It sounds to me like you're just getting too tall on the front, and you have KDSS too, right? You'll have to work with the KDSS system to get the lean out of it. Perhaps the installers didn't open the valves before working on it, that could easily produce a lean, especially at a taller height.

What are your measurements from the center of the hub to the fenders, front and rear?

Shout out to Mike...Great customer service from the first time I reached out...

I ordered front 238 coils for a 1" lift in front, but maybe ended up 300s as I got a full 2" on both sides in front. 599s out back gave 1"

Be best to let it all settle and remeasure after 500 miles. The 238 coils are physically shorter and I noticed it when assembling those. The shorter the coil, the easier it is to mount on a strut.

It's not a 2WD, is it?

nope, 4wd

no pics of the new suspension setup yet, but thought i'd share just how tall the C59-677V rear springs are compared to the Toytec Superflex 2" rear springs. ride has been very comfortable paired with king shocks

Here's mine with the 300/505 combo. I had originally posted the install back in April (post #756), but now it's had some time to settle.
