2004 toyota tacoma shock upgrade

Do NOT run either the 881 or 883 coils with 5100s on the top setting. Only the lower east setting.

For the weight your getting get 883s or eibachs.

 

This ^^.

 

so my stock front setup has i beleive stock coils and struts with a 2" spacer on top of the coil, i just installed a winch and front bumper and now it sags pretty bad, my question is will the 5100 on middle notch with the 883 make the front higher like it was im running 33

 

Do you have to run 5100 or can you use the 883 on a kyb or stock shock?

 

^I know that KYB makes a "gas-a-just" that works with lift springs up to 3". As for stock, they will be too short to use with a lift spring.

 

again..

DO NOT RUN THE 883S COMPRESSED!

on the lowest setting of the 5100.

the 883 will fit the 5100 or an OME shock. I don't think it'll fit other shocks.

 

So last night I installed the 5100 with the 883 on the losest setting which gave me 1 3/4 inch back but im still needed more hight up front still sags. What should I get I want about 3/4 inch more

 

Can I run the 5100 on the middle ring with the 883

 

I have about 200 pounds of weight up front

 

What's the spring rate on 883's? Sounds like you may want to try eibachs. But don't run a lift spring compressed, that's asking for trouble

 

Should I just get a top plate spacer like 1/2 spacer

 

From what I've heard, the 883 is a fairly high spring rate spring. (I've never gotten a real number though) I've got full skids, a front bumper and a winch on my rig and haven't had too much issue with my 600 lb Toytec/eibach springs. Do you have any pictures of your suspension? ... just to be sure that there isn't another issue we should look at...




You can run a half inch spacer on top of your setup without an issue as long as you have the right hardware. (That idea won't be popular on here) that being said, I would eventually look into getting this:

You can take your current 5100s and end up with a coilover. Then, you won't have to worry about height issues again.

 

What else could bd the issue? My pics come out sideways for some reason

 

^It looks correct to me. So, is your truck raked? Why do you need more lift out of the front?

 

Its 1 1/4 down want it to be level or close to it
