5100’s and adding weight

I’m running 5100’s set on the notch for 2” of lift with stock OR springs. I’m getting ready to add about 90lbs +- to the front end with and new bumper and skid.Do I need to go with a higher spring rate to keep my current ride height, or should it really not make much difference?

 

Yes.

I went heavy lift OME and coils

work and ride great

 

Well I’ve already got the 5100’s so I don’t want to spend the money on whole new coilovers. I guess I’m looking for suggestions for how much of a spring rate increase for the extra weight.

 

That sounds like small weight add then

give it a whirl and see how you like it!

have fun

 

Measure your current ride height at the center of the wheel well cutout to the ground. Install your stuff. Re-measure your ground clearance at the same spot. If you are within 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch leave it as is. If it drops more than that raise the spring cup to the highest notch and re-measure. 90 lbs isn't a lot, doubt you will see much of a difference there, but if you do you can just go to the high setting on your shocks. Easy peasy.

 

I have bumper, winch and a few other items and pretty hefty. Im running eibach pro lift springs 725# on 2nd notch. It nets me about 2" of lift. I had about 3" before all of the parts went on. Rides awesome only because I have so much weight preloading the spring at height.

 

Call @AccuTune Offroad they'll calculate the appropriate spring rate. If you need heavier springs they got them too.
Good luck

PS If you might add a winch in the future plan for it now, they're about 60 - 75lbs

 

You have some good advice above. Bilstein's require a pigtail style coil spring, not something we carry.
