Which Rear Springs (again)?

[Idaho Savage]

OK kids... Yes, I've read the search results and no, I'm not totally inept (just enough). I'm about to make some changes to Toshi and I need some subjective advice on what spring to get.

Current setup:
OME Mediums
KISS storage with maybe 50lbs of stuff in drawers
Metaltech Sliders
Slee Remote resi shocks
ARB front bumper with Warn 8k
Tundra steelies
275/70 R18 Toyo RTs (33s)
Timbren front and rear bump stops

Adding:
@4x4labs rear bumper with spare swing out, may add fuel cells

About me:
Mainly high speed dirt roads, some mild wheeling on occasion. I generally like a ride that errs on the stiffer side. The LC is largely my daily driver so lots of road driving.

Big Variable: I built up an M1102 trailer that weighs roughly 2500lbs. Im using it most weekends which involves both road driving and dirt. Its enough weight to push the rear down to the Timbrens. They help and keep things civilized but it's noticeable.

Question: I know this is subjective which is why I'm asking here. Should I stick with OMEs and get something more stout to accommodate the rear bumper? Are there other brands I should consider? Anyone running a similar program that can weigh in? Thanks in advance.

Hey champ, I run Ridepro ZC7589 (500kg to GVM), they're a heavy duty rear coil spring - it gave around a 70mm lift.

I had to install an adjustable panhard rod to correct the diff center. This setup suits me as I tow each day for work, and it rides pretty well when not towing (not too stiff or rough ride), and is fantastic offroad when fully loaded. I have slee front and rear bars (with spare tire carrier on the bar), 50lt fridge in rear, my work trailer comes in at around 3300 pounds.

This pic shows the butt in the air a little high when unloaded.

Thank you very much. I hadn't heard of that option which is exactly why I asked. How hard to install was the adjustable panhard?

 

[Batlowboy]

really easy, I just measured the difference between where the rims sat in relation to the chassis or body then adjusted the panhard to the correct length. You also need to make sure your rear brake lines aren't under tension at full flex, mine where fine, you may have to get a brake line extension.

Prior to upgrading to extra heavy duty coils, I did have HD coils to start with, but the added weight with rear bar and when towing made the rear end way to soft. You will lose that very comfy Landcruiser plush ride, but I had no option. Good luck.

Number of folks with trailers use air bags in rear springs. Is the trailer weight balenced to manage the tongue weight.
