Fast question with a full lift.

[calcrc]

Hello, here is my set up for a lift. Bilstein's 5100 front and back. Front set a max level with stock springs.
My question is for the rear. I have called my local dealer and all he had to offer me was 3 inch lift coils or Old Man Emu 2 inch lift coils. I wanted 2.5 but need to order somewhere else :/

I think 3 inch is too high for the bilstein's, the OME 2 inch will it do the job or I should go with 2.5 inch coils ?
I have spacers front and back from when I bought the truck and I want to get rid of lift spacers going with the real thing.

With the OME will the rear sag ? All I want is a real lift void of the lift spacers.

If you need more info let me know

go with 2" rear springs for a more level look, 3" will be raked similar to factory but a little less

I just went through the same dilemma, if you buy either Toytec or ICON 2" spring, with minimal load, you will settle at 2.5 , I will try to find you the thread where all this info was shared.

I also learned that they are both made by ibach springs, so I think it's the same spring with a different color.

Sweet thank you man. You replied so fast I bet you didn't even see I edited my post ! But I will go with OME 2 then.

I doubt the OME spring will sag much if at all. I just installed the 3" springs, and though they haven't had much time to settle, they feel quite stiff.

Yes I saw Toytec superflex heavy duty 2.5 inch coils that's what I wanted at first. But the OME seems to be good also.

Don't get Superflex unless you plan on a after market rear bumper, drawers with tools and full load 80% of the time

That's what I was told by a few.

i'm in the same shoes as you right now. Very curious to see that you will go with.

Then get the Toytec Superflex only not the Heavy duty ...

OME 2" 885's on the front (885's to offset a SSS bumper and winch). Bilsteins set at 0. Toytec Superflex rears (+10%), this is pictured with no load but a 90 pound cargo tray in the back. With a few hundred pounds in the back the rear settles an inch or so and the body looks more level.

You've already helped my immensely in my other thread.. but what do you think of people saying that superflex is too stiff?

Now, that you mention that there is at least 90lbs worth of load in the rear, I am starting to wonder again:yield:

Lol. Not too stiff for me. They ride a little stiffer than factory, but if 90 pounds is going to make it ride soft I'm worried about what a real load would do. Wait! I did that in April for 4 weeks and 8100 miles! It rode like a champ! But please note, these are the +10% light springs. Not the heavy duty ones.
