Ok, so I have bilstien 5100 on all 4 corners currently lifted max I am running my 285 70 17 on 0 off set icon rebounds. But looking at front bumpers and current have a slight rake so I don’t want it to go down any more and want to have the best clearance I can.

So I’m looking at putting heavy duty front springs but the only ones that come up sold without front shocks I seen are Eibach. Has anyone run this set up with more weight up front? Does it sag down more?

Just use stock springs. Those front Bilstein's will be height adjustable from 0-3".

i already have them set to the highest notch I’ve had them for around 8 months but stock springs don’t bring to a perfect level as isso it has a slight rake. So adding a bumper I would like to have a better spring so it’s level with the added weight. I’ll ha e to set the bilstiens at the lower notch. I just am not sure what springs are sold with having to buy a whole kit besides eibach

If you do not find the OEM springs too stiff already you could find in OME and Ironman stiffer springs and I am sure in USDM more options. Yet it’s a gamble. If you like the ride confort, maybe a different option is a leveling kit. Then you can fine tune the rake from the 5100s.

no it’s not to stiff at all! I currently have it set to the highest notch and it’s not bad. So I plan on getting better springs if I can find them
