Placed my order BEFORE the labor day weekend. Got a call to confirm coil colors. Got my tracking and I'm expecting my stuff Friday.

Placed my order BEFORE the labor day weekend. Got a call to confirm coil colors. Got my tracking and I'm expecting my stuff Friday.
I placed mine on Thursday of last week and haven't heard or seen anything. Then with the hurricane wasn't sure if anybody was in.

Oh I forgot about that. Maybe they just cut out early for the holiday weekend. :shrug:

I have the same coil/shocks. Running some RCI armor and sliders + LFD cross bars. I can measure hub to fender if youd like so you can compare

I was out last week on vacation, then extended it due to the hurricane. We're back open today and processing all orders, and answering all emails/PM's as we can.
FYI, email is the best way to get a hold of me the fastest. Link in my signature.
If that hurricane wouldn't have taken a 90 degree right turn, there's no telling what it would have been like here. That storm was wayyy too close to Miami

I'd suggest C59-723 for 1.5" to 1.75".
I never hear of people thinking our coils are too stiff, that's usually OME (different brand). Shocks are what ultimately control the ride quality, so if they coils aren't paired up with good riding shocks, that could be a problem. With Kings though, you should be GTG.

That would be right at 1.75" in the front, and depending on the weight of the rack, 1.75" to 2" in the rear without a 3rd row seat. 100lbs rear weight would drop it about a 1/4"
Thanks Mike!
Exactly what is the spring rate over stock, and if I’m looking for 1.5 will I get it after it settles with no constant weight in the back? 1.75 is darn near 2.
The posts I read was that the they were a little stiff. You’re right that I don’t know what they were paired with, mine will be with the 5160 Bilstein’s in the rear.
Ok I need some advise from folks who are running the Bilstein 5160/6112 set up with the Dobinsons C59-723 1.25- 1.5 (with KDSS) springs.
Mike has said that they would sit more like 1.75 since I have no 3rd row seat, and no weight in the back.
The 6112 Bilstein’s are adjustable and according to their website, I can set them anywhere between 0-2 inch including at 1.5 or 1.75 to match the rear spring.
I want to keep stock rake.
However, if these rear springs end up settling to 1.5 and I have my front at 1.75, I’d have to remove the front shocks and have them reset as I would be edging closer to level and don’t want that.
Does anyone on these 13 pages of comments have real world experience with what their set up was after installing these on their 5th Gen TRD Offroad?
Any advise would be appreciated. It’s not as simple as setting everything to 1.75 when there is so much possible variation in the spring height.

Called it in and FedEx unlost my package. Shit is heavy as dick I guess I would have tried to loose it too.
Also spoke with Brian in Miami and tried unsuccessfully to get Dobisons USA to switch to UPS citing the documentary Castaway. I don't think he took me seriously.
It's going on this weekend. I'll leave my thoughts then.
