3" rear spring options?

other than the icon overlands are there any other options for a larger spring in the rear other than metal techs long travel ones? I already icon 2.5s in the rear and they aren't long travel shocks so I have to stick with non long travel now......looking for the most comfortable rear spring, I don't normally have a lot of weight in the rear so im thinking the overland would be too stiff for my taste

AllPro used to make 3.5" rear lift coils for 4runner's/FJ Cruisers. Taller and 15% increase in spring rate over stock. I ran them for awhile and they are nice, but ended up up-rating since I have a rear bumper/carrier. I may have still have them in the garage if you're interested, I can't remember if I ever sold them. Otherwise I'm sure there's some pairs floating around. You could also throw some cheap poly spacers in on top of your existing springs.

Keep in mind, the shocks are typically the articulation limiter on these vehicles, so a running a progressive/dual rate/long travel coil with standard length shocks wouldn't be the end of the world, the coils are just a pain to install because you have to pull more stuff off to get them in (axle has to droop lower).

Dobinsons makes multiple 3" rear springs you'd have to confirm with CrikeyMike if you can run without extended travel shocks.

The spring I was thinking of is the C59-675V - Variable rate comfort option, stock rear weight, 3" lift.

Dobinsons and OME are definitely the most popular 3" rear coil options.

Check out the Dobinsons link above to find the right fit for your build.

I recently put a Dobinsons 3" lift on my truck with long travel in the rear.

They have various height and weight options.
