Hi, I currently have an Eibach lift with dual battery in the front, a 175lbs rtt, fridge, drawer system, and rigd tire carrier with 33” tire hanging off of it. What springs do you recommend going with for front and rear. Currently shopping for the full ims lift!

Thank you

Hey bud. What lift height are you looking for?

Hey bud. What lift height are you looking for?

Looking for a leveled ride height or something that makes the back higher. Something around 2” front and 2” rear. Open to most under 3” as I have KDSS

OK. 2" front and rear would keep factory rake, since it's lifting the same amount. You'd have to go with more up front than the rear to help level it. Most would go 3" front and 2" rear, but you don't have to. The weight you've got in the rear will need the stronger 2" springs, C59-327.

Up front, if you only have the dual battery kit, you can run C59-302 which will still be around 2.5" and you can adjust the IMS coil seat as needed. Or you can go up to 3" with those same coils too.

With KDSS, be sure to add the Treaty Oak KDSS spacer kit that we sell and you'll be good to go. You can run 3/2" with those in place, I did it for years on my 4Runner.

seller verified current front springs/ coils !!

hoping to pick them up this weekend

ims shocks with the following springs

What will the following heights be

front coils c59-238 --- same height as current ride 21-21 1/2" at front hub. current trd pro fj setup

Will probably raise shock 1/4-1/2" ? to keep the same rake as current set up.


rear coils c59-323----expected 1/2" gain in height vs stock now, 22-23" range hub to wheel well.

Looking for spring recommendations for a 3in level lift. I currently am on the older version 6112 set at the top clip in front and 5100 in the rear with B12 1.5in springs. This setup seems to have me pretty level with a 2.5 in lift in front and 1.5 in rear but I'm looking to gain some more to a 3in lift. I have a full length roof rack, rock sliders and a third row. What springs can I go with that will give me 3in lift with great ride quality and not be too stiff?

Dobinsons springs don't fit your struts.

For the rear you would use C59-675V for 3" with the little bit of weight you have.

You've gotta check your shocks too as some 5100s don't suit 3" of lift.

Looking for rear spring recommendation. Front is currently 5100 set to 2.5” and rear is on a 1” corniced spacer - it sits perfectly level. But my needs have changed and I often need to carry heavy loads in my trunk (about 2/3x a month) and the sagging is pretty bad. Would like to upgrade to a better spring in the rear and maybe gain a slight amount of lift from where it is currently

I'd suggest these. They'll probably be about 1/2" taller unloaded, but stronger than stock springs to support the weight better.

rear end question

Hey Mike, I have the C59-327 rear springs in my 12 4Runner. I have a steel rear bumper and often run empty besides that. I installed new Eibach truck shocks on the rear when I installed the Dobinson's springs.
The ride is a bit rough for a daily driver.

My question is: Would using Dobinsons Rear Shock Options help correct this?

GS59-701 - Twin Tube, suits 0-2.5" lift. 605mm extended, 362mm compressed
GS59-705 - Twin Tube, suits 0-2.5" lift, softer valving for empty rear ends. 590mm extended, 355mm compressed

OR should I swap for the C59-325 rear springs?

Thanks,
X

Hey bud

I'd still recommend the GS59-701. if you run the 705's, they'll feel softer around town and all that, but if/when you load up with people and gear, they can feel too soft and you won't have the right amount of dampening.

The 327's are correct for the rear bumper weight.

An easy test to see if the shocks are too firm is take them off and go around the block carefully (no hard cornering), and you'll feel it right away.

looking for rear springs
Running 6112 2.5" up front
Running 5160 2" in the rear
Rear Spring's are Icon 52700 i believe are a 200lb spring
I have a 22 SR5p with the 3rd row option with a full roof rack with 2 awnings, 2 100 watt solar panels and a cargo box full of recovery gear and ride close to level (my be just a little sag) with setup now when totally empty. future planes are Skid plates, Rock sliders and rear hitch tire carrier. my problem as of now as soon as i start adding my gear like fridge, battery, camping gear and such i start to sag bad.
Was thing of the 327's but don't want to over spring myself when empty.

 

[Doub1e_R]

Running cornfed 1/2” spacer in rear on stick springs on ‘21 sr5.

Which front coils do you recommend to have a slight rake. No added weight up front. Running Bilstein 5100 all around.

As long as the awnings, cargo box and solar panels are always on it, and you want at least 2" of lift, then the 327's are ideal. A light spring rate like 200lbs will drop 1/4" for every 100lbs of weight added in the back. When you add the tire carrier, you'll definitely need stronger rate springs.

These are the most common, for 1.5" of lift. Those with your 1/2" rear lift should leave you with 1" of rake.

If I go with the 300 will I have 1/2” rake or end with a reverse rake?

 

[Crikeymike]

Yeah, 1/2" rake, unloaded. If you load much in the rear, you could get into reverse rake then.

I have a bone stock 2016 4wd SR5 w/244k on it that is used 99.999% of the time on interstates, do you offer any combos that won't lift the truck at all? I want to minimize nose dive w/o increasing ride height.

Thanks

Hey bud

When you check out the first post, Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad , you'll see the shortest height options listed there.

1" up front and 1/2" in the rear. That's the stance of a TRD Pro actually, so not much lift, but still a little bit more than a non-Pro came with.
