Need to replace my OEM coil springs. I have them setup on the Bilstein 5100s. Are there any aftermarket ones that you guys recommend or is it best to stick with the OEM ones? These are going to be a temporary setup until I can afford to get an adjustable coilover setup, which I think is going to be the Icon's. Just don't know when that will be.
aftermarket coil springs?

They do, but they give 3" lift and are 620lbs rated instead of the OEM 600lb. Plus, I was told by the vendor who I bought the 5100's from that Bilstein doesn't recommend the Eibachs and that they will wear the Bilstein's out faster.

If its on temporary get some moog or oem. cheapest.
I understand your point. because, they are sagging and I am replacing my saggy rear leafs and AAL with actual lift leafs and want the front springs to be new, as well.

I don't think the OE ones are 600. My Kings are 600, and they're quite noticeably stiffer than stock, even considering the extra valving of the Kings.
OME 882 would be a good choice since youre lifting your rear. Believe they are tall enough for 2.5in of lift and rated 550lb. I am running 5100s/eibach with bumper and front skid. Its a firm ride and not too jarring. once I add a bellypan skid I think it will help more. But I do plan to redo my suspension. either OME shocks and 882 or just full on icon extended travel in the future.
I looked into the 882. I dont think they will lift it 2.5". I will double check tho. . If they do that is what i might do. I think that I am going to be getting the All Pro standard leafs, which lift the rear 3", so i want the front to be as high as it can without jeopardizing the cvs.

If you have 5100 than you can adjust any spring to get you the lift you need

Yes, but that's not my question. Wondering what the OE spring rate is.

You said you don't think the 882 would give you 2.5 inch lift. But with 882 and 5100. You probably can max the 5100 and get 3 plus inch lift but imo. I think 2.5 is max safe lift for cv. I know a lot of people rock out 3 inches but I'm sure they are tearing boots or have axle issues more than if they left it 2.5
