5100's Installed..A few unexpected learnings

[ToxPath]

I just did my 2012 TE with 5100's all around. Front set to 1.75, and on the rears I used a 1 inch spacer from Cornfed. Pretty close to level.

Here are two pics. One before the modification and one after, parked in about the same spot. As mentioned above I have 5100's all around with the front set at 1.75 and a 1 inch spacer from Cornfed on the rear. The tires are Cooper AT3, size 275

That looks great! I like the look with 1" rear spacers.

has anyone found a way to get about an inch lift in the rear but with just stiffer coils? I want a subtle lift and increased load cap. My goal 1.7F/1R. I've searched the coil options and they all seem to yield 2-3" in the rear. I'm not an air bag kind of guy. thanks

SAW (Sway Away) sells a 1.5" rear coil-made by Eibach- that also yields a 12% increase in load capacity. I have them and they ride really nice yet don't allow the rear to sag as much when loaded. Most people get more than 1.5" out of them though, closer to 2".

I don't know if you will find a 1" lift spring. For such a small amount, a spacer would probably be your best bet along with a stiffer, stock-length spring. I think OME makes one like that.

Good Luck!
