5100's with Eibach Coils & AAL

Got the TSB done this week and thinking about getting the 5100's all around with the Eibach Coils up front and 1.5"AAL in the rear. Setting the front Bilsteins to .85 (Would 1.5 set the front higher than the rear with the Eibach's if TSB and AAL)..

Adding 265/70/17 Destinations M/T or BFG's. What would you all suggest?

Would it work good? Pics of anyone with this setup maybe?

Tires to small for lift?

 

Alright i was wondering if above .85 would be bad or not. I seen yours with the .85 and liked it. How much of a lift is all together with the Billys set to .85 and your coils up front?

yeah the 1.5" TSB AAL didn't mean the 2"

 

oh ok, my bad i was getting you confused with wolfdog

Set the Billies to 2.5" in the front with TSB AAL in the rear ooooorrrrrrr

Set the Billies to .85 with the Eibach coils with TSB AAL in the rear?

 

alright, they are about the same height and i've seen some people complain about the billlies at 2.5 and some say they are fine..Why i thought about the Eibachs, JW thanks for the help

 

Cool thanks for all the help man.. Thats probably the route i will go. I got my TSB parts in and they are putting on the leaf pack Tuesday. If i get the billies in the front set at .85 with the Eibachs. Then with the TSB done add a 1.5" AAL then i'm guessing it should sit the same way it does now except higher? I would like it level but adding around 2.5" in the front and the 1.5" TSB AAL i'm guessing it is going to sit about 2.5-3" in the back as well.

 

With the lift you think i'll have to have the spacer? or wait till i get it installed to see?

 

get the spacer everybody recomends it .. That's the set up I'm going with

 

haha gotcha.. Thanks for all the help. As soon as DSM gets the Billies, i will be getting the eibachs.

Thanks again!

 

What u guys think of the icon add a leaf instead of toytec

 

I did the eibachs, 5100s @ .85, top plate spacer on drivers side and 1.5" AAL. Got a full 3" of lift from this setup and clears 285s with very minimal trimming and removal of mudflaps. Love it.

 

I just did the 5100's with a OME 885x spring and I'm sitting right at 3". It may come down slightly after the springs start to sag if any. The Eibachs give 1.6 + the .85 will yeild almost 2.5" before sagging. If you do a top plate you should get almost 3" before sag. With the spring and the preload set and spacer if may be a fairly rough ride.

 

Set the Billies to .85 with the Eibach coils with TSB in the rear?
That is what I went with. Running 265/75/16. No problems with alignment, does not wonder all over the road, rides great. And the front is level with the rear. Handles extremely well on the road.

 

Few more for ya. Great setup.

 

That's a good looking truck, Wolfdog! What size tires are you running? Is the ride more plush in the front, over stock, and stiffer in the back with the AAL?

 

Tires are 285/70/17 duratracs. Little rubbing on bumps while turning. Ride up front is better than stock. Rear is def stiffer tho'. Love the ride!

 

wolfdog, what rims are those?

 

Eagle Series 137.

 

Thanks. Wanna trade?

 

Awesome setup bro.. Exactly what im going for!


With that setup do you think some 265/70/17 Destinations will give me a good agressive look or go 285's? I would like 265/70 better but dont want to high and to small of a tire for my life..
