Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

nice! i think you should paint the rims black but thats just me

i like the stance. i like a little bro lean, but then again i bro-out on a day to day basis

 

I really like your truck and that you wheel the hell out of it

 

Some recent pics of mine. I think all the weight of bumper, winch and full skids is sagging the coils a bit more than I'd like.

 

Thanks man, i try!
Im jelly of your snorkel..thats up there on my list with tube doors، front axle, & 35's haha
& that ARB looks really good on there too! Ive also noticed a little sagging with mine but not as much as yours looks but im sure your bumper is a bit heavier than mine and i dont have a belly pan and my tires are 32's so the space between them an fenders looks like alot more. What are your measurements from center of hub to bottom of flare?

Also i have the 1/4" spacer on my driver side and it hasnt had any affect on me. Id recommend them for that extra 1/2" or so of height back

 

Thanks man. The snorkel is really a "just in case" mod. Hopefully I never swamp my truck and ruin the interior. But better to have it and not need it......

Anyways, I'm running 265/75 Duratracs in those photos so they should be just slightly smaller than your 32's. My hub center to bottom of the fender flare is 22 3/4" passenger side and 23 1/8" driver side. I'm also thinking the double cab probably weighs the front down a little more too. What are your measurements?

 

Same reason i want a snorkel! For those just in case moments when this....

Or this...

Coulda turned into an "oh shit, we're gettin deeper" moment lol

& km2's run small in size so they are probably similar to yours but i want to say im at 23.5-24". I posted it in here a few pages back but cant remember exactly but its one of those 2. & i bet the dC does add a bit more to it, i would get the top plate spacers if i were you.

 

The man in brown came today! New 5100's.

Next is Coils and Springs

Edit- Ordered my Coils. Getting stoked to put this together and get it on.

 

these came

 

What springs did you go with? Im thinking about Deavers 1.5".

 

look like dakars

 

yep...ome dakars

replacing stock leafs with 147,xxx miles on them and a 1 inch block. and replacing stock trd coils and a 1 inch spacer up front....already got the 5100s.

install tomorrow and pretty excited about the ride improvements

 

got the lift installed. couldn't be happier....well, actually after I get an alignment tomorrow it'll ride like a Cadillac. so much better of a ride than before

 

Well I ordered my coils on wednesday night and they already came 2 days later with fedex standard ground shipping. So i may be able to get the front lifted this weekend. Man fedex was fast.

 

yea i ordered mine on monday, got here thursday, and installed friday (today). pretty pumped

 

Yeah I cant wait. Did you install a diff drop or do the boot slide mod?

 

How much lift did you get from the rear??

 

i did get a diff drop as well as the top spacer on the driver's side to correct the lean

from center hub to fender in the rear it is showing around 25 inches. when my truck gets back from getting aligned ill get a more accurate reading on my driveway. probably about 2 inches from stock, tough to say because i didn't go from completely stock

 

@taco52 looking at your build page and I did the exact same "mod" for my dash noise. took a bunch of computer paper and folded it and stapled it together and walah...been there for about 4 years now.

also, looks like you'll be going from stock to eibach....you won't be disappointed.

 

Yeah I love it. Mine is just some stupid flyer I got to fix it. My build is lame but its gonna get better once I get my leafs.

 

seems as if the rear is about .75-1 inch taller than the front. which i'm ok with. probably will settle here soon.

about 35 inches in the rear and 34 in the front. took a yardstick and went from the bottom of my rim to the fender
