    Ok, so I have been doing as much research as I can with this. I picked up some 5100's and am looking to put a heavy duty spring on it such as 886x or maybe even King 700's. I am getting a plate bumper and maybe adding a winch (haven't decided on the winch yet) but which coil springs would be the best fit for the job?

    Any info more would help as I am now at a standstill trying to figure out which ones to buy. I'm trying to support the added weight without lifting the truck past leveling point.

    5100 isn't designed for that lift.
    Call or email any suspension retailer.

    Yea I called a few places, Toytec and a couple off road places by me and they both gave me a few different answers most leading to the best option of just lifting the whole truck and going with something heavy duty. Thing is I just don't really wanna lift the truck all that much. One place even said that I could do the 5100's with the 620lb Eibach coils, but I don't know if I really trust that spring to handle the extra weight of a 110lb bumper and skid.

    Call Sonny or Micha at down south motorsports..... They will educate for free and not make any pressure sales or upsales. Toytec has been hit/miss for accurate information and I've caught them contradicting themselves before.

    The only spring 5100s are designed to work well with is eibachs and OEM. If you want more than a little lift I say sell them and get a matching set from ome or the other brands you want.
