    I have read tons of threads on coil springs but they are all about lift. I don’t want lift.

    09 TRD Offroad Access cab, stock. Towing occasionally, off-roading consists of driving in my land which is rough but not too rough. No rock climbing or jumping. I work the land.

    I want to ditch the bull bar and replace with a plate bumper, want a Demello but haven’t decided between steel or aluminum, both being heavier than stock. I may need a winch too.

    obviously this is heavier than stock so I need springs that can support the extra weight but I don’t want lift. It seems like all the springs I am aware of give lift with the increased load bearing. Any TW members know if springs that carry more weight but no lift?

    AccuTune and Eibach come to mind for heavier springs in the same spring length. Don't know of anybody that makes springs specifically for the stock Bilstein suspension. It may be easier to find some for 5100s.

    Cool I need to replace these stock shocks anyway since they have over 103k in them.

    If you go AL with winch with synthetic line you’re only looking at about 130 lbs. Some OME 883 would be able to support that and provide no lift. They’re a stiffer coil than stock (590 vs 500) but they’re short.

    That said I don’t know if anyone who went that route. I’m just looking at the specs of the coils and it should work.
