Dobinson 323 rear coils? : Cross posted

Looking at these to replace the OE coils since they are said to furnish little of any lift. My only concern is the jump in the spring rate from OE to 220 and its impact on the ride.

Are there any other options out there that offer a 1/2" or less lift? I was planning on pairing these with 5100s or maybe 5160s

TIA Cheers

 

You need to ask CrikeyMike

 

When I was researching small to no lift rear springs I found the following
Dobinsons 323 gave really close to 1” maybe more then settled a little.
Eibach 4th gen springs gave 3/4”
Stock 2014 FJ springs gave 1/2-3/4”

I went with the Eibach 4th gen’s

 

You can find reports that the spring rate on the OEM coils is 180 but no one knows for sure. I installed Dobisons C59-599 which are advertised at 220, same as the C59-323's that you are asking about. I have minimal added weight in the back and the rear rode slightly but noticeably stiffer, but not to the extent that it bothered me. I experienced it mostly as a hop when going over bumps. After a while I replaced them with Eibach E30-82-071-01-02 which is advertised at a rate of 206 and the ride seemed basically the same as the original OEM coils. I only replaced the Dobs because they gave more lift than I wanted - 1.75". The Eibachs have settled in at about +1 inch.
