Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

I did absolutely nothing to mine

 

varies per truck. Worse come to worse, just chop it off so it dumps over the axle.

 

^x2 Just do this anyway so you dont have to worry about it anymore!

 

I see Toytec now has the 620lb coil f/s on their site. Yet i see some of you running the 650lb rate (if i'm reading the coil labels right)

I'm looking for feed back from the world, I'm thinking i'd rather have the 650lb coil if available. Additionally, i see recent mention of sag within the first year of use. Anyone have 'after install/after a year of use' measurements?

2003 Double Cab/V6 on 881's right now (500lb Coil/14.76" free height.) And while the ride is comfortable, it's gotten too soft since i added 100lbs of home built skids to belly, and i'll be building a plate bumper this fall.

Additionally, from the center of the center cap to the bottom lip of the fender flare up front on my current set up gives me 22.25" of height. Can one of you Eibach'ers run outside and measure your height for me please?

 

It'll sit much higher. Probably around 24" I'd guess. Don't have my fenders on so I cant measure.

All the toyotech eibach coils are 620. The only photo on here that has 650 is Mikes truck and his coils are a bit different as they are on coil overs.

With a plate bumper and the skids the 620s ride great. However if your gonna get a winch I'd almost say go for some nice coil overs like foxes and get some 700lb king coils

 

Mine is 23 1/2 after a year or so

 

Great info guys, thanks! No winch in the plans, look like i'll be ordering the new coils tmrw.

 

I am having a shop put the eibach on my 5100s. How are yall putting the shocks back on the truck? I know they will be longer and a little harder to install that taking the stock stuff off.

 

Helps to have another friend lever down the LCA with a long pip while you shove the shove up. Once you get the 3 top plate studs aligned and the bottom bolt in your home free.

 

Ive done spacer lifts to two others trucks and it always seems to be a paon to get that lower bolt in. I think I used a bottle jack on the UCA once to help lower everything. Where are you getting leverage on the LCA?

 

Hell i don't remember haha was over a year ago.

was pretty easy tho with a long pipe. Think it was around the bump stop area..

 

Ya true. Bit with my bumper the cv angles were still bad enough..

 

Ordered my eibach lift springs yesterday! Pics soon.

 

subd! looking into getting some eibachs with billies

 

I would highly recommend it. I've heard nothing but good things about them. They are awesome on Tacoma's

 

some people say that the OME's ride better but i think thats because they provide less lift so its a little better ride. what you guys think?

 

I think it's a little bit of "defending/justifying your purchase", personally. I've driven both setups on both generations of Tacoma. The difference is negligible, in my opinion.

 

I have read that its more the nitrocharger shocks that ride a bit better then the billes. Not really the coils.

 

^^ well I would hope that they ride a little better since the cost a little more

 

should get all my stuff thursday, maybe sunday install.. will get pics up!
