    I have a 2006 off-road, is it ok to use eibach/toytec 620lb coils on 5100s set at the 0.85 (second clip up iirc)?

    If it's ok, how much lift is it over stock?
    Is it Ok with 1/4" driver lean spacer?
    How's the ride?
    Will I need new UCA?

    TIA

    Clip settings on the 5100's are meant for the stock coils bc they are shorter in length.

    Aftermarket coils are meant to be on the bottom clip setting which is the 0 setting bc you gain the height from the longer coil. You might be better off to use the Old Man EMU front coils, or the dobinson coils.

    You apparently have the 5100s for second gen.

    I run the 5100s for 3rd Gen, with the Toytec 620s (which they only market fit for 2nd gen), and I have the clips up to 1" on drivers side and .5 on passenger side.

    With full set steel skids and sliders, my 16 taco is about 1" front lift from stock new, it measures 22" hub center up to fender.

    Fit is the same as 3" coils with one end flat and other pigtailed. Length is the same as my old Dobinsons 1/4" lift springs, and the Toytec 620 lbs vs 586 lbs allowed me to keep my 5100 clips lower.

    On a side note, I understand 3rd Gen stock coils to be short 700 #s (no longer have mine to measure and test), OME are mostly 590#, Dobinsons 586#, so I wanted to try getting a closer rate to stock in short length coils.

    Now if I took off my skids and sliders I'd be way nose high and probably stiff.
