Bilstein 5100 Max Weight

[Chilow]

Anybody know the maximum weight the 5100 can handle in the front? I currently have them set to 2.5 setting with stock coils. I plan on adding a front bumper and winch that should weigh in around 245 pounds. It looks like Dobinson’s heavy duty coil might work since it’s rated at 200-240 pounds. Anyone have a similar setup?

I'm no expert but I think its the spring you should be more concerned about.

From my research, I’ve only found the heavy duty Dobinson’s and OME 2997, but it’s not a common setup with the 5100 from what I was able to dig up.

Toytec uses Eibach springs and they have a +200 not sure if you can just buy the spring
