    Looking to stiffen up the front end of my 2wd -2.4L. 200,000 miles. New Bilsteins all around but now its wobbly up front.
    Looking at OEM Off-Road springs ($300 set) but what are some other good options??

    First, get the truck on jacks with ur front tires free floating and shake ur wheels to make sure u have no play in the steering or suspension; i e worn or broken shit.

    Second, v6 5 lug coils or doestch lift springs are the only options on the market for 5 lug rn.

    Moog 81070 is the part number for v6 5 lug coils. They have a higher spring rate and will give u about 1 inch lift in the front. U will need to contact doestch to see if u can buy their spring only, and not the lift kit.

    U want to keep more rake? Bc with just a 1 inch lift in the front, you will still not be level, and the back will be a bit higher. 2 inches-3 inches in the front will have u bout level with a stock rear


    If you want more in the back, go with fabtech shackles or a new leaf pack, unless u tow alot or use a camper. Then id tell u to get an add a leaf, bc they make the rear very stiff lol
