bilstien 5100

does any one know if i can run the bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks with the spring spacers i already have installed. and if so will it give me 2 more inches of lift.

 

I wouldn't. Bilstein specifically says NOT to do that lol. Your ball joints will explode!

 

hey zachary i am gunna go with the blistein 5100 and eibach springs. Would that set up give me more of a lift up front then the spring spacers that i have now??

 

Anyone else smell troll? This is the third thread this guy has started in like 10 minutes.

 

I don't think he's a troll yet... To answer this question OP, DONT STACK LIFTS! Either set the billies using the stock coils or if using the eibachs or OME coils I wouldn't go over .85.

 

5100s with Toytec/Eibach coils should be set on the lowest seting.

The is no .85" setting on 1st gen 5100s

Are you a 4x4 or a prerunner. Cant tell from the stats you have listed for your truck. Also, you have not said how big a spacer you are currently running. In any case, using the spacer with the Eibach/5100s would be foolish.

 

Hey im not trolling just have alot of questions about my truck i just bought it a few days ago and im new to the site an not sure how to find the threads im looking for. Having said that my truck is not 4X4. I havent listed the spacer size becuase im not sure what it is seems how i didn't install it myself. The reason i am asking about the lift i will get out of the 5100's is because the truck has AAL's and i dont want to get the springs and shocks just to find out the front will be lower than the rear. I apologize for all the threads i Have started. I appreciate the help guys!

 

You can pretty much guarantee that if you have a question about your truck, so have many others and the question has been asked before. Sometimes many times before. The 2 questions you have posted tonight are very common questions on here.

Here is a thread that contains every question that has ever come up regarding 5100

x2!

Congrats on your Tacoma purchase, OP! If you haven't already done so, recommend you spend some time in the Suspension forum. Pay special attention to the Tacoma Lift FAQ/Guide and Suspension Lift Info threads.

 

Thanks man i just found that part of the site and i have learned a lot already.

 

If you're getting Bilstein's and Eibach's, you have to leave the shock set at 0". Now, if you use your stock springs with the Bilstein's, you can set the shock to 2.5", but I like the ride better with the Eibach's....plus, with the stock spring, it's really stressed at 2.5''.
