    A coilover (such as the boss from Toytec) or a coil over strut (such as the 883 from OME) will have a shock built into it that is designed for the corresponding spring. If you want to order a spring separately to replace your current spring, the best thing to do would be to ask the supplier if it would work with your shocks. They should be able to tell you.

    No problem! We all had to learn and ask the seemingly dumb questions when we first started out too. For the most part, the first gen guys are more than willing to break down your questions and answer it as best they can. :thumbsup:

    I’ve seen them before. Can’t remember the manufacturer though. And agree on the UCAs.

    So get those coils and set the bilstein to the middle setting to get around 3?

    You're gonna over exert your suspension by using a maxed out 5100 shock and spacers, you can use a coil spacer or anything else but you'll be on thin ice.

    I do not recommend a body lift at all. (If you do, pray that steering wheel doesnt crush you if you get in a front end collision)

    Best way to get more lift honestly would be an aftermarket uca and a bigger shock. Bigger tires will also give you some lift.

    Don't cheap out on suspension.
