Toytec lift springs on Bilstein 5100?
I need some advice. I have the older style Toytec boss coilovers on my 14 trail and they are shot after less than 20k miles. I bought some new adjustable 5100s and I'm trying to decide whether I should run the red lift coils from the boss coilovers on a lower setting of the 5100s or run the stock coils in the 5100s on the highest setting. I'd like to get the front back to 3" of lift.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
Also, I recently swapped out the rears shocks for Bilsteins to go with the toytec lifts springs after the driver side toytec rear shock completely snapped.

So basically you would be switching from Toytec's Boss coilovers to their Ultimate lift coilovers. The red coils from the boss shocks won't work with the 5100's unless you have Toytec's adjusting collar (threaded anodized aluminum pieces in the photo below). The red springs are designed for adjustable coilovers (they are flat on the bottom). Bilstein's spring perch is designed to work with coils with a pig tail bottom like the OEM springs or Toytec's 521600 or 112620 coils. You'll either have to get Toytec's adjusting collars to run the red springs you currently have, or run the OEM springs, or buy new springs.
