Toytec coilover front and OME rear lift- expertise needed

[Noshirtganshirt]

So after reading through the lift FAQ thread and looking at what other people have, I think I've decided my best option.

Toytec coilovers (600lb coils)
OME 891 and 5100's with airbags

Requirements:
-must handle the weight of a small 300lb motorcycle (rarely), 2 german shepherds, and gear
-future accommodations for plate bumpers front and rear
-not too harsh of a ride when everything is unloaded.

Think this is a good setup to go with before I pull the trigger? Any other options that would better suit my need?

Picture of some of the setup

Really nice looking setup! Any details on the motorcycle carrier?

WRT the rear springs, I think the 891s plus bags while hauling the bike would work well. I can't vouch for the setup personally, so ymmv.

On the front, if you're going to run a plate bumper and winch I think the 600# coils might be a little weak, but there are tons of people here that have experience with them that can answer with authority.

Brands called Best Choice motorcycle carried. Picked one up for 100$ on Craigslist.

I figured the 600# springs would be too soft when I get a plate bumper and winch, but I can always upgrade when I get to that point.

I personal would never buy 891's again. They'll start sagging after a couple hundred miles, and I doubt they actually handle more weight.

What would you recommend then?

I plan on replacing mine with OME 861's this summer.

I feel like 861's would be too much lift. I don't really want anything over 3 inches of lift.

You say that now, but with all the added weight it won't be bad.

I have been running the ToyTec BOSS coilovers up front set at 3.25" lift and the rear with 3.75" lift with ToyTec SuperFlex springs / Fox 2.0 shocks.

I currently have no rear bumper on. I'm waiting on my Savage bumper..but someone did the weight differences. A stock bumper w/ a trailer hitch is 12lbs heavier than the savage rear bumper.


Anywho...I can vouch for the ToyTec Superflex rear springs. Youll love em.

I have the rear superflex but will actually be switching to 861's. With the tire carrier and any passengers or gear my runner sags in the rear :/

Didn't even think about those. Heard good things about them.

I think the combination of those, extended 5100 shocks, and airbags..it'll be a great combo
