It. Is. On.

Yep, the one on the right is the correct way to install. Ask me how I know? I installed both of mine this weekend. I ended up with about a 4" lift set at the .85 position. Had to start all over. Major face-palm moment.

 

So, this is the problem?



Yeah, it sticks out like a sore thumb after someone else pointed it out to me.

 

Yah I wish I had noticed this in the first place.

Called meineke. They said the guy who did it yesterday had gone home sick... Anyway they said bring it down and they are gonna pull the whole coil assembly and fix it! I'm just glad I don't hafta pull it all out again.

Tires will be delayed till Thursday :-/

 

Bummer, but at least they're willing to make it right.

 

Wow! Props to those guys! That's really stand up. I was in the middle of writing a post that said I thought they'd reverse the strut after you removed yourself it and brought it to them. You need to stick with that shop. It's only when you see how someone reacts after the inevitable stuff-up that you find out what kind of people you're really dealing with. Now you know, and the answer is a good one.

 

Yah the guy said " it should have been done right the first time"

I'm glad I didn't have a further issue with them. Just wish I was getting tires today instead of doing this!

 

It really is easy to mess this up. I have done a lot of suspension work over the years and I installed mine upside down. Looked at it and thought "it goes on this way" and never checked up. Installed the other one exactly the same way. But you would think they would have at least installed them both the same way.

 

^^ yah I can see how it an be an easy mess up. I shoulda brought them the instructions. Looking at the instructions it shows the correct way plain as day.

 

I have the same setup in the front (just installed the coilovers on friday) . I love it, the ride is much better imho.

 

to take care of the vibrations, you might want to install a carrier bearing drop kit, they also sale it at toytec. or you can take a stack of flat washers and put in there.

 

So how high can you set the 5100's with eibach coils?

 

.85"

 

What would happen if you went higher?...fuck shit up?

 

I'm sure someone will answer this better, but going above .85 5100 setting on eibach springs will have too much of a load on the 5100's. And worse ride. And worse cv angle.

 

Looking great!! I too plan to add my lift really soon, maybe sooner than I thought!! Looks Good Bro!! JOE>

 

OUCH!!! ^^^That had to stick! JOE>

 

What coil can one get for the 5100's @ 2.5?

OP -> Nice truck by the way! Looking forward to the finished product too!

 

Thanks guys!

At meineke now and they are pulling the CO and fixing it all up.

Priddle- you can use your stock coil with 5100's set at 2.5. Not sure if there is an aftermarket coil u can do that with or not. The experts on here should know...

 

So I'm sitting here at meineke while they fix my shock, and I walk out there and he has the CORRECT shock assembly half off my truck!

I'm like dude no, it's the other one. Fawk me. I hope they don't jack any more shit up!

 

Looks good so far, can't wait to see the finished pics w/ wheels/tires!
