210# added front end weight enough to justify 886s?

    I know there are a multitude of threads discussing OME coils, but haven't found the specific answers I'm looking for. 2017 TRD off road, 154,XXX miles. Just revamped the rear suspension due to flat, reverse arched factory leaf springs. Back ends all buttoned up, now its time for the front. Needing to gain 1-1/2" - 2". Don't mind a little rake, but would like to stay as level as possible. Camp trailer squats the new setup almost 3/4".

    Currently have a Backwoods hybrid bumper (80#), Smittybilt XRC 9500 w/ synthetic rope (50#),
    and 2 ARB skidplates (80#).

    Looking at:
    Eibach Pro Truck/Eibach coils
    Nitrocharger shock/886 coils
    Bilstein 5100s/??? coils (read somewhere 886s don't play nice w/ 5100s)
    Bilstein 6112s/assembled

    I've had good luck out of the Bilstein stuff in the past.

    I'm very happy with my 6112s. It sounds like you'd want the 650# spring as opposed to the 'standard' 600#. Dunno if a 700# is available offhand or if you'd need to go there.
