    2012 Double Cab TRDOR. I have 5100s installed all around. Top setting in the front. Looking to replace the front springs but stock replacements are $150+ each. Any suggestions on aftermarket springs at a better price point?

    I would look for a set of factory take offs for cheap if ya just need springs or you could get eibach lift coils and drop your 5100's to lowest clip. Eibach's are around $150 a pair.

    Why do you want new coils - are they sagging, or are you just looking for a softer ride?

    The coils have 250k on them and seem like they are starting to sag. Leaf springs in the back are shot too so I want to replace my springs all the way around now that I have replaced the struts

    You will have to drop down to lowest setting on the 5100's. The eibach springs come in 2" or 2.5" lift. So with a 2" lift spring and the 5100 on the lowest setting you're gonna be around 2.8" lift. Top setting on the 5100 plus a lift spring would over extend the shock.

    5100s with those springs lowest setting gives you a full 2” lift and middle setting is 3” lift. These springs don’t give you a true 2” unless you use the Eibach shock.
