    I installed B12 coils with new 5100s in the rear of my 19 SR5 and i dont like the rake or the ride amd am considering re-installing the OE coils. created by the rake. So my question is will the 5100s ride higher in their travel and not wallow if i re-use the OE coils again?

    Pretty much every single aftermarket rear spring is stiffer than stock, this includes the Eibach, OME and all others.
    I think Accutune just came out with a new rear spring that is supposedly just like stock, only they are +1.5" taller.
    The Bilstein 5100 are going to allow you to run OEM springs or a mild lift aftermarket spring. You will be ok with the OEM spring.

    what about Eibach T13 coils in rear. Theyre 13% stiffer than stock and give 1.5” lift. I love my set up on 2022

    @CA4runner what are you running in the front? 5100s? If so, what height?

    What are your 6112's in the front set at? You have 2 or 3 choices. Put stock rear coils back in or raise the front another setting or 2. Or find a rear coil like TrailSpecial 22 suggested. Or add a drawer box with a couple hundred pounds of gear.

    I deleted a leaky X-reas system and installed 5100’s, front set at 1.75” with OE coils and used 1” Cornfed spacers on the rear coils. Rides and handles great. Has a very slight rake, which is what I wanted. Looks almost level below but it’s on a slightly sloping driveway.
