    $21 energy 9.6104G coil spring isolator set
    energy 9.6104G. I also kept the 1/4 lean spacer on the driver side. Well hoping to gain roughly 1 inch of lift over stock, I’m 743B5ACE-9495-4A77-8F36-78C34A5F618E.jpg now sitting 3/4 high in the front. Front end is 22 inches hub to fender.

    Only explanation I can think of is the new isolator is acting as a top plate spacer.

    Is the lower coil perch oriented properly? If put upside down it'll add more lift.

    100%. I have installed probably a dozen of 5100s on Tacoma, fj’s, and 4 runners in the past.

    Interesting. Then I'd have to assume it's the ES acting as a mini spacer. I don't really know what else it could be.

    Yeah I know. Unfortunately I don’t have any of my base line measurements. Only what other people say is stock... which is 20 inches. Maybe once the springs and the isolators get broke in I will see some sag.

    I’m sorry buckmaster! I was talking about springs. But I see where a long bed would be very nice on long hunting trips and camping

    Okay well I has some spare time today and ended up pulling my 883’s and putting my oem off-road coils back in. I paired them with a 1/4 inch spacer on both sides and now sitting dead level in all corners. 21.5 inches from center hub to fender. Weird.
