Stiffer rear spring

[Javelin]

Ok so I got my CBI bumper on and I can definitely tell it's back there. Feels like the sway bar is disconnected when I make turns. Is there a stiffer coil rate spring I can get MAbye in conjunction with 5100s that will NOT give me a 2 inch lift in the rear.

I know the fj ones are 190 so that's 10 pounds higher than ours. Don't know if that will help much. MAbye fj springs plus 5100s set at 0.85 in the front?

Any thoughts. Really want to stay away from a 3 inch lift

Not much that wouldn't lift your truck.

I'd suggest the FJC OME coils, but that'd still add about an inch.

With the sag from a heavier bumper it may even out... maybe.

I think I'm going with FJC Coils / and 5100s to help with the nosedive. Should be a little better than what i have now.

Are the FJ coils taller or shorter or the same height?

I believe they have an extra coil and are about 1/4 taller.

Thanks! Are both front and rear springs 10lbs heavier?

Sometimes the best option is to go custom. Here's a link to a post by Canazes9 on custom-ordered rear springs (slightly stiffer and taller). Might want to reach out to him for his opinion since the process of specifying and ordering the custom springs seems pretty straight forward.

What about just doing air bags in the rear coils?

Are there any stiffer springs I can put on my Limited w/ XREAS? When I tow my boat, it really pushes my rear-end down.

When you take the XREAS out you can pick any spring you want :usa2:

As many hear have stated.....you won't miss it. Bilsteins or OME or whatever company you choose will give you a better ride.

I thought switching shocks and coils out was harder w/ the XREAS? Aren't all my shocks interconnected or something?

Update!

I called Scott at Deaver springs in Santa Ana, CA and they are making me a custom set of rear coils that WONT give me any lift but will compensate for my 130 pound CBI bumper. Apparently there are 11..... yes 11 factors that make up a coil spring..

These ran me $305.00 for the pair and they will be installing them when I pick them up. I will give another update when they are installed.
