Bumpin Front Billies to 2.5. Best Rear spring options

[Az4runnin]

What would my Best option be for Rear Springs after raising the Front Billie/FJ Spring Combo to the 2.5 Notch. Radflo, Icon, or other with 5100 Rear Shocks?

Lots of options, and this is a very heavily discussed topic. I can think of 3 posts in the past month talking about rear springs.

Have looked a way back and Didn't see them. I Apologize just looking for some Real Experience as Im having a hard time deciding and not sure about 1 1/2" or 2".

If you plan on putting weight in the back and hate the saggy ass look, go with 2.5s.

 

[Az4runnin]

Not really doing a lot of weight in Back. Was gona Go 2" Springs. Offroad in the Desert and Up North in Az. Want a Decent ride and Some good capability. Rear FJ Springs are Nice so a Similar ride quality would Be Cool. I am Saving up for Kings All Around down the Road so The rear springs I would like to Use with that set up when I do it....:roadkill:

Toytec 2" Superflex or Icon 2". Any experience with these would be helpful. Thank You.:ybrick:

Sway Away 1.5" springs will probably "level" the vehicle if that's what you're after. I got a full 2" out of the Sway Aways on my 5th gen and they ride great plus sag a lot less when loaded.

I'm planning on going up to the 2.5 notch (probably on new 5100s) sometime on my 4th gen but I will probably go with Icon 2" because I haul around a bunch of stuff, especially when I go offroad.

Looks like SAW Rear 1.5" are replaced by Eibach T12 1.5" at Wheelers. Toytec Superflex 2" or Icon 2". Thats what i'm looking at.:lookout:

 

[Morphyne]

Do an icon 2".

 

[zidaro]

Toytec Superflex 2" or Icon 2". Thats what i'm looking at.:lookout:

Both should be great springs.
I would also consider the MetalTech LT springs in that grouping. Tough to choose from the three. Cant help you there. I Picked up a set of Toytec HD superflex.

Not sure as to whether any of these would "fit" your current application, but when you step up to your proposed Kings, they will fit right in.

Has anyone bought the Wheelers yet?

I was wanting to bump up my 5100 / fj springs fronts to the 3rd notch and was trying to decide between a spacer for the rear or Wheelrs 1.5.

The 32 in tires on mine just look too stuffed.

Plus if I have any weight in the back it looks like the nose is higher than the rear. That's why I was thinking of going up a notch and lifting the rear a bit more.

Agreed. I am also going to either a 275-70 or a 255-75 Tire from the 265-70 I have Now.

Any Real experience with 5100's Rear and Icon 2" or Superflex 2" Springs. On the Fence on which to Go with. :doh:
