    The 5100s are ok. They are very soft with the coils and no sway bar. My truck has a crap ton of body roll. Id much rather have a set of kings. But these work for now. My moms got ome and i think 882 springs on her 4 runner. Seems to rode stiffer but still nice. The 5100s and coils soak up all the bumps though. I have no issue bombing bumps or rough dort roads

    Been considering picking up a set of the LCA skid from BAMF. Maybe after this season, you'll have to let me know if you think they're worth it.

    Yea idk we will see. I know I already had some rock rash on my LCA's so should keep them from getting any more.
    Yea I got these as a gift from my dad. Extra price of mind when in the rocks.
    Kinda why I also got some leaf spring perch skids too.

    Or at least upgrading your spring would help in the meantime. Eibach I think is something like $50 per spring.
