Superflex rear springs, how much lift?

[Lolrax]

I have been searching around and just can't seem to get a firm answer on this. I have Bilstein 5100s all around, and the front setting unfortunately gave me a bro lift. I would rather have a strong spring as opposed to a spacer though.

What are your experiences with superflex (not HD) in the rear? How much lift did you get, and how do they drive?

I have a 2005 V6 4X4

I got a little over 2" when I installed mine. Not sure on exact measurements, but they ride great, and flex very well too. I have a 2006 v6 4x4 with Bilstein 5100s all around too.

I got about 2.5" out of mine. They do ride great!

What setting up front? Stock springs up front? I'm about to install 5100s on the 1.75" (3rd) setting with some usee FJ coils in the front. Wondering how my stock rear coils will match. I do have V8 4wd tho.

i got 2.5" lift, they were stiff and were way too harsh for my application.

I was running billy 5100's on all 4 corners of mine and had the superflex on the rear of my 04 v6 and the were the standard 2.0 spring, not the heavy duty 2.5 spring. they rode good and flexed good, but I wanted more lift and flex, so I took them out and put in some metal-tech 3" lift progressive rate long travel springs and paired those with ICON VS 2.0 series long travel shocks. HUGE improvement! IMO. I still have the superflex 2.0 springs for sale if interested.

Price for the superflexs?

I did the 1.75 front with Moog FJ springs all around and got a bro lift. Maybe consider going superflex right away!

I'm running the Superflex HD's and so far like them a lot. Not all that stiff IMO.
I paired them with Fox Performance Series smooth body 2.0
w/ adjustable (compression damping) remote reservoirs.
9 adjustment positions. If I want to soften the ride in the rear I decrease the damping and get more of the spring. So far I like it around the 7th notch which really firms thinks up.
I have no weight in the rear yet but with this set up I have full control of the ride I need.
Yes it gave a tad bit more rake than I wanted but I know over time and use it will all settle.
These shocks are'nt cheep $$$ and they need maintenance (rebuilding) eventually.
I'll see if I can get a couple years out of them and buy another set to rotate.

Can you still run the stock springs up front with the 5100's and the superfelx out back? Or do you have to swap out the front springs as well.

And maybe I'm old, but what the heck is a "bro lift" in this context?

I actually learn this the other day and am only 27 years old lol. Its when the front is higher then the rear. A reverse rake. If am not mistaken.

This guy has the 2.5 notch up front, superflex in the rear. He gained 3" up front. The superflex still looks noticeably higher in the rear, which I dont really like. So I wonder how the 1.75" matches with a stock rear. I dont want to go 2.5 up front, so it would look even worse with a reverse rake from 1.75 paired with superflex IMO.

That looks really good to me, I like the rear being a bit higher with a back to front rake. This picture solidified it for me.
