    Needs vs wants
    I'm hoping someone has done something similar or at least with their mighty 4.7 ac maybe? I bought 5100's preloaded with coils color coded Orange/Orange and Red/Orange through craigslist. Through my internet combing and prior knowledge, I've found this:

    They came off of a 2006 Double Cab SR5 4x4
    They most likely have a spring rate near 700-750 lbs vs the probably 575lbs of my stock 2001 sr5 access cab
    There is a high likelihood the coils are slightly longer than my truck's stock ones - reference third post - -one person mentions that it will level the truck.
    Red/Orange marking code dots go on drivers side to compensate for lean.

    I am striving to achieve a lift of 1.5", not to exceed 2", but it's cold out and working on the truck during the warm hours is at a premium. Currently, the bilsteins are set at the lowest perch. Can anyone give an estimate of how much a coil like that will raise the truck or do I just need to guess and check with the strut adjustments? My thought is that the new coils will raise it some, and that moving the perch up to the 3rd adjustment is going to give me more lift than I want.

    I appreciate any input you can give me including corrections if my info is wrong . I know this is an imprecise game, just trying to take out a few variables before I get rolling on this. Thanks!
