Ok so I have an 06 Titan Crew 2wd. My right front coil spring literally snapped. I have the 4" spindle lift. The springs and shocks were stock. Should I just buy two new springs and replace them and leave it as is? What if I wanna add an inch or more lift? I guess I could go coil overs, but I don't really wanna go that route unless I have too.
My right front coil spring broke. What should I do?

Get the Moog 4x4 coils. Better yet since you already have the 4" spindle lift go Bilstein/Moog combo

Yeah when I did the bilstein 5100s and 08 4x4 springs on the middle perch that lifted me 3in, I didn't know it before hand but both of my springs were broken. only thing i dont like about the moog coils are the finish mine have already started to rust and I put them on at Christmas
Who has the best deal for these? Will the 5100's let me just raise the front about an inch? I already have 4" of lift up front from the spindle lift. I don't really want much more.

If you're gonna go the 5100's on mid perch route, I'd do 08 2wd coils. They will still give lift but wont be as stiff as the 4x4 coils.
So with 08 2wd coils and 5100's at mid perch I'll probably only get about a 1" lift to go on top of my 4" I already have with the spindle lift?

I'd say around 2 to be safe. I got almost 4 with 08 4x4 coils and 5100 mid perch and it was stiff as hell. Plus you could get coil bucket contact with that much lift without aftermarket arm's.
Well I don't need or want that much extra lift. I gotta figure something else out.

5100's lowest perch with 2wd 08 coils will still be around 1.5
Why 08 Coils instead of 06 coils?

Well your 06 spring broke. 08's are bigger and I'd assume stronger and they will also add height as 08 2wd are taller than 04-07 2wd but I'm just trying to give you as many opinions as are available without going with coilovers to keep costs down.

I currently have the 4" lift spindles with bilstein 5100s on top perch with stock 2006 2wd coils and got a total of 6" of lift out of the front. I just ordered the moog 81194 (08 4x4) coils so hope to get them on this weekend and see what difference they make on middle perch being as they are much stiffer than my old stock springs.

Also you can pick up a set off of amazon for around $80

So I need stock OEM 08 springs and 5100's correct?

Yep 2wd 08 coils and bilsteins on the lowest perch
Talked to Greg at PRG. Said 08 coils are definitely not the way to go. I'm going with 5100's and 06 coils. I'll get the same ride height I had before which is what I wanted.

First picture is with stock 06 2wd springs on top notch of bilsteins. Second pic is 08 4x4 coils on middle notch on the bilsteins. The ride is not as smooth as it was but I gained 2" of lift in the front which stopped all the rubbing I was having. Definitely stiffer ride so if you want a smooth soft ride I wouldn't go this route.

That's exactly what he said. A rough ride. I'll go back to 06 Springs. Your truck looks good by the way.
