Definitely en eye opener running some very rocky trails with Exploring NH group.
I want more lift to fit bigger tires.
2018 LC200 3 years ago I fitted Ironman FCP lift with SPC uppers. Currently running 295 Cooper STT Pro on 17” RW wheels and BORA spacers. Ironman front bumper. I had no rubbing until the lift began sagging.
I tow a 22’ travel trailer 4-6 times a year, this is my daily, and also the trail pig.

I recently bent my rear trailing arms again, so while ordering Dobinsons bars, track bar,
I threw in their heavy rear springs. Holy crap- I netted 2” over the saggy Ironman stuff. ( I do have an ask in about warranty)

Now the rear is noticeably higher than the front. I want new fronts too so I can jump up to 35’s
Don’t need reservoirs- don’t want to go Tundra front end, don’t want uniball stuff due to NE salt
What do you recommend for front coil overs for high quality and most lift? I am not opposed to the top spacers if needed.

I'd give those new rear springs a little time to settle before doing much to adjust rake.

How about matching front UCAs, springs and shocks from Dobinsons? Check with @crikeymike at Exit Offroad.

To go beyond 34s you're going to have to be more aggressive and enter body mount chop, kdss relocation, sway bar lca attachment mod and lots of plastic trimming territory.

My personal opinion is Kings are top shelf, but don't know if you can get them without remote reservoirs. And you need to deal with rebuild intervals.

My 2 cents: Just build up your jeep for playing on the hard trails... You can get insane lift and tires with less money and effort.
 
Lift doesn't mean you can fit bigger tires since it is IFS, you can run 35s now and you'll deal with the same rubbing you would on this setup as you would with new front shocks and springs. Only difference is that interference would happen at a different time.

Not saying don't do it. 200 needs to be a 35s or 37s to even look like it has a decent set of tires on it. So go 37 :hillbilly:

Exactly, just clearance the hood a little bit and throw on them big meats!!

But you're totally right too.
