2nd Gen Eibach Toytec Gallery thread

ive had billies and eibach before the truck hit 1k miles off the lot. Good stuff.

 

You will like it!! I went with the eibachs to get max lift with the weight of the bumper and i like it but its stiffer for sure.with out the bumper i didn't like it to stiff.if i was doing it over i would go with a lighter rear rear spring as the expos are stiff. But going from the air bags I didn't want to loose the capability of more weight.I now have close to stock rake with 3" of lift.So its great for wheeling,But daily driving its a little stiff and mpg are 14mpg on av.18 on hwy. with the old set up i was getting 22mpg on the hwy and 18 avg.

 

ff currently running 5100's @0" setting, Eibachs, and toytec .75" spacers. Can anyone that's running the same setup but with their billies set @.85 setting comment on the quality of ride and the amount of lift yielded? I'm currently at 2.5" of lift.

 

Eibachs/Billies @ .85, Light Racing UCA's, 2" AAL, XD Revolvers 17"x9" w/Cooper Discoverer A/T3 265/70/17

 

I need some advice. I have a 05 with 150,000 miles on it. Rear leafs are bottoming out on speed bumps with my cap on. Obviously, I should have gotten a new leaf pack, but instead I got Toytec non-tsb aal for now.

I want to set my Bilstein's at .85 and have the eibach's, which would equal about 2.4" of lift. I have an ARB, so I think it won't be a full 2.4"

My problem is I don't think the aal will lift the rear enough not to have the "bro-lean" look.

Does anyone have similar experience? Old non-tsb leafs with Toytec aal and bilsteins at .85

 

Okay everyone, SSDD! I have a DCSB 4x4 OR.

1) Want to add 5100 at 0 with eibachs.
2) I do NOT have factory TSB (have 3 leafs now).
3) Thinking of wheelers Prog 3 leaf 1.5" rear. If I want the truck to keep a slight rake, should I remove the factory overload?
4) Will I need new UCAs?
5) Will I rub with 265/70/17?
6) Will I need CB drop, etc.?

Anyone with this setup already show me some pics! Thanks!!

 

There looks to be a recall coming out for rear leaf springs, should be announced 9/29/14. Not sure on the details or years included but it might get some members TSB springs for a lil extra lift. Anything factory leaf springs are a bit of a joke.

 

Hmmm, strange they would wait this long given the number of Tacoma owners requesting TSB over the years.

 

Toyota could care less about replacing the springs since they are of poor quality, it is due to safety. Broken springs are stated to have punctured the gas tank, now it has become a NTSB issue they cant ignore.

 

Ahh, okay. Didn't know they could break as well. Crazy.

 

You were right

Doesn't work for me. Mines 2012.

 

going by this thread, it seems a lot of you were able to set the 5100's at .85 with the eibachs and get away without aftermarket UCA's. how are the alignments on your trucks? i'd love to be able to get away with putting that 400$ towards other mods if i can. or should i plan on getting the light racing UCA's anyway?

 

5100's set at .85. Rear AAL


With stock wheels

 

Sub'd. Nice trucks in here. Almost convinced myself this will be the first stage of my trucks lift. Probably spring for some uniball UCAs as well. Who knows.

 

In my experience:

If you do a lot of offroading, or any kind of driving on shitty roads where your suspension does a fair amount of traveling, I would get the aftermarket ucas.

I just moved to Kansas where there are potholes every 10 feet and my suspension is paying for it. It's like going down a country backroad every time I go to Walmart. My upper ball joints are creaking and oozing grease. I just pulled the trigger on some aftermarket ones.

 

thanks for the reply fluffy ^, i figured i might as well do it right.

 

i'll play. might need a more accurate read on measurements as I measured passenger side only. now i'm curious... love the setup tho

37.5" front 38.25" rear
.25" spacer (PS) .5" (DS)
eibachs, billies (5100 @0, 5160 w/ 1.5 AAL overload removed on 3 leafpack)
"debating" using a lean spacer only or adding in the overload leaf for rake
running 16x7.5 wrapped with 265/75r16 BFG T/A no rubbing

 

i monkey wrench for you all
theirs two eibachs coils for our 2nd gen trucks
the 620lbs with 1.6inch lift
and the 600lbs with 2.5inch lift
both sold by toytec
which ones you guys running?
i have the softer 600lbs ones

 

i'm running the 1.6" spring (P/N: 112-620), but a top plate spacer for a little extra lift (.5")
