Rear Springs Reccos (I searched already)

[FLY_FISHING]

I can't find nay posts that address this so sorry if there are some I cannot find.

2018 TRD OR
Looking to go with 5100's at 1.75 up front. Not really interested in spacers, what rear springs are recommended and I know there are tire size charts out there but what is the consensus on tire size with that lift?

Can't go wrong with a set of Dobinsons. They have a great breakdown of their rear spring options in this thread

Just curious. Why are you not interested in spacers?

I have spacers and they have three things going for them:
-easy install
-keeps the OEM ride qualities.
-low cost.

IMO the rear springs are too soft for any aggressive driving. Wheelers t12 or t13 are great. i run the 1.5" lift ones. still plush, just a bit more spring rate than stock.

I have the Eibach 1” with 5100 shocks in the rear. Ride well.

Define aggressive driving? I do some of the most difficult 4x4 trails and I really appreciate the 4Runner softer suspension over big rocks. Previously, I have owned several Jeeps, and the 4Runner is like heaven compared to the brutal ride of the Jeeps.

I agree, that high speed, sweeping turns on paved roads, a firmer suspension would give better "handling". But that is what a car is for; for me, I want a smooth ride over rocks.

1.5" rear with 1.75" up front? How level is that?

OEM difference is 2 to 3", i.e. to make it level, you need 2 to 3" more lift in the front than the rear. These numbers are only 1/4" difference, thus it won't even be noticeable.
