Which Springs with 5100s?

[Colorado S14]

Happy Saturday,

I have Bilstein 5100s on my truck, set at 1.75" in the front with a Cornfed .75" spacer in the back. Is there much to be gained by swapping to new springs? I imagine putting preload on the stock guys does not give the best possible ride.

If there is improvement to be had, does anyone have a recommendation for something that is a stock (or appropriate) rate spring setup which does 2.5" up front and 1.5" in the back?

I see Eibach is running a 10% off sale right now, how do you think these front springs at the 0" clip setting up front would pair with the 1" rear springs and my current .75" spacer in the back? 4 corners worth of springs for ~$260 is a good deal. I know Eibach makes high quality springs, I just don't know if these are the best route.

I went with OME Springs and the ride quality seems (Could just be wishful thinking) better over OEM.

I put Dobinsons C59-300s on mine, at the lowest clip. This lifted the front a little over two inches, as far as i can tell. The ride is great, no complaints.

Lifted mine with Wheelers T1/T13. It's definitely stiffer than stock, but in a good way. Eliminated the nose dive while braking, and is still plenty comfortable onroad.

Is this the kit you went with?

I went with icon 2” rear springs. I previously had spacers in the rear and the improvement was very noticeable.

That is the Kit!

Ive spent hours building out my own kit with 5100s and varies springs, whether it be Wheelers T1/T12-T13, Toytec or OME. I cant get the cost even close to the price shipped that Yotamafia is selling that kit for. Everything else, even with the vendors on T4R its still at least $100 more expensive before shipping.

I kept my front springs stock and went with a toytech superflex spring (2" lift) in the rear. No complaints but I never go offroading/crawling. It's strictly for aesthetics.

I'm thinking of going with those same springs (already have 5100s). How much lift, front and rear, did you get? Can you post a pic?

Here is a side shot.. Still running 265's

Honestly anything that fits.

I have Eibachs and they have done extremely well over 80,000 miles. Even outlasted the original lift.

It's really hard to **** up a truck spring.

This is exactly what you want...Wheelers Eibach set up. They are definitely on the stiff side, but are an excellent choice!
