Too heavy for fj springs

[bassmacka]

I've got fj springs and Bilstein 5100 in the front and now that I have a bumper and skid plate I feel I need a heavier coilovers. I have the 5100s set to the max height. I want to go up maybe an inch and that's all. I just don't know what the winning combination is going to be . Do I get a taller spring and bring the adjustment back to zero or get a similar spring with more tension. Thanks for your help and Input.

If you wanna keep the 5100s, I'd get a heavier spring and bring the adjustment back down to 0. You probably need an OME 885 or 886 to handle the weight.

Otherwise you can go the icon or king route with 700 # springs.

I'm in the same boat as you, even without a bumper. My plan is to go with the OME 885, possibly with a small spacer to get me back up to 3" of lift.
It's going to be a couple of weeks before I get the time to do that though.

I plan on swapping out my fj springs with wheelers soon. The fj springs are just too soft for me and tend to coil bind when off-road.

I have an ARB and 5100's. I went with these and a 1/2 top spacer, I sit at 38.5 to the wheel well from the ground.
