Hello guys, I really need help with choosing rear coils for my 3rd gen. I've done 3 rear suspension setups and have had no luck... I've also done a tone of research and still haven't found a solution, I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out, so here is my issue:
I used to have Superflex rear coils from Toytec they performed very well but after I got a rear Shrockworks bumper and full armor they needed replacing. So I went with OME 861, they performed well but with some weight (camping gear and two 5 gallon jerry cans full) they bottomed out a lot! I then went with the 851's they performed better than the 861's and gave me about .75-1" inch of lift over 861's but after about 2 weeks they still started bottoming out with weight. I was advised to go with the 850/850j. I asked around, checked online and found out that 861,851,850,850j have the same spring rate (according to Cruiser Outfitters) I then called Toytec they said that I won't have a stiffer ride, instead I'll just gain an inch of lift (over 851) in the rear if I went with the 850/850j. I do a little bit of both crawling and some high speed desert runs, the 851 has a great amount of flex and performed flawlessly at high speeds when they were new, but after they broke in (2 weeks) they started bottoming out, I have extended bumpstops from Toytec, Toytec extended brake line, Toytec panhard drop bracket, adjustable panhard also from Toytec and extended travel Bilstein 5100's.
I don't want to gain any more lift in the rear, so I was wondering is there another company that makes springs for the front of the 80series cruiser (will also fit the rear of a 3rd gen) that has a higher spring rate but maintains the same amount of lift of an 851?
I really appreciate your help guys.
Thank you so much!
