I have a 5" bracket lift. My rear springs are 4" RC coils. They flex like mad but are too soft(bad body roll in the rear) & with just me standing on the rear hitch(180lbs.) the rear squats about 3". Who makes a 5" lift rear coil that's stiff enough to pull a 10' trailer with but also flex real good? I can't seem to find any.

There's a reason you can't find any.

Coil springs that tall would unload going down a hill like a meth head pawning your tv.

Ok. 4"?????? I'm worried the LC coils won't be enough lift.

Used standard used 80 series Land Cruiser coils give about 3" of lift. Why not just source out coils for a Landcruiser rear that are quoted to give a Landcruiser 1-2" of lift with standard compression rates... they will be firm enough for the lighter 4runner, and will be no where near the slinkees you are running.

I run 200lb linear King Springs KTRS-70 (460-470mm free spring height) that deliver 1" above standard LC coils standard duty and they carry a ship load of weight as I run water and long range fuel tanks & steel bumper. Hardly sag when I stand on the towbar, and they are nice on the road. I'd say don't go above 200lb linear springs, and forget progressives.

Follow this landcruiser thread http://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-te...springs-4.html and look at KTRR-70 specs (485-495mm free spring height) as that would deliver what you require. I'm not saying ship them from Oz as steel in heavy, but having those specs you could get a set easily made up or seek an equivelent.

Thanks for the input. I'm leaning towards the OME 2860(+2" for LC) or 2862(+.75" for LC). Can't decide which.

Has anyone used OME 2862 rear coils?
