Hey guys. I currently have the TF 2.5 coil lift. I added the rear RK coil wedges to correct the rear springs so they dont hit my rear track back and that added 1/2" so I then added a 1/2 TF spacer up front for compensation.

What I want to do is go just a little taller to make up for my RR XHD with winch and my Smitty knock-off rear bumper/carrier. I feel like I lost some height over time.

I could a) add 1" spacer up front (replace current 1/2") and 1/2" spacer in the rear. that would bring me up 1/2" over my current height.

or b) add RK 3.5" progressive coil up front and add appropriate spacer in rear to level out.

i do off road and get some flexing in so I dont want anything to pop out at full flex. so far my front spacer has stayed in place..

will the 3.5 RK coil add a lot of height over what I have now? Is the ride quality similar to TF?

Thanks guys!

 

Bump. Any insight?

 

With my limited experience, I would like to think you can do this. But I have very limited experience. I am interested in possibly doing this.

 

not much help here either, but if i decide to go taller, im looking into the evo plush ride coils after hearing good reviews.

 

People use spacers all the time to adjust for either sagging coils or for leveling purposes when heavy bumpers have been added.

As for mixing and matching coils....Hmm..I wouldn't do that. I'm sure others would disagree but the TF coils are completely different from RK coils. I've run both systems (TF 2.5" before my current lift) and the ride was noticeably different between the two lifts. Mixing coils...no clue on result but I wouldn't do it.

The 3.5" RK coil will net you about 4" of total lift even after you account for the heavy bumper. Leaving the 2.5" TF coil in the rear means running a minimum of 1" spacer or more to offset. Add in the fact that TF coils sometimes tend to sag over time, you may need to add even a bigger spacer.

Plus, what are you doing about shocks? Are your shocks long enough for the added lift? And then there are driveshaft issues, caster issues, steering issues.....list goes on once you start getting over 3" of lift. If it was me, I'd do it right and get a complete lift. If money is an issue, hold off and just add some spacers to get back the lift you lost.

 

I have the RK 3.5 coils and they ride smooth. My rears sit about an inch lower than the front. I'm going to add a 1/2 or maybe a 1" spacer to level it out

 

Thanks guys. I'm just going to go with the spacers for now. Coils would be great but atm I can't afford the guessing game and possibility of new ds.

 

JKS ACOS- on point!

 

This by far is the safest bet! Good luck with your continued build.

We would put our coils as far as ride quality up there with any set of coils on the market as long as they are paired with a good set of shocks, tires and wheels! We get no complaints about the ride quality unless someone is on 20" or 22" wheels with 50 psi in them! LOL.

Are the RK rear coils narrower in overall diameter than the TF rear coils ?
