Installing Eibach/5100 tomorrow

are you running the TSB or not?

i'm picking up some 5100/eibachs and trying to decide whether to run the billys at 0" or .85"?

if i run at 0" with the eibachs will the TSB level me out? if i run at .85" should i just get a aal or the TSB and aal?

 

I am just about level with the 5100's at 0.85", Eibachs, and TSB rear springs. This is after they have all settled as well.

 

I installed 5100s with eibachs and 2" toytec AAL and I absolutely couldn't be happier!! The ride is night and day better! The truck actually absorbs bumps now instead of the whole truck getting jolted everytime you him a small pothole!! Everybody, and I do mean everybody, should do this!! I can't believe I waited a year and a half before I did!!

 

Are you running UCA's? are you running the 1/4' spacer for the taco lean?

 

X2. This is exactly how I feel.

For now I am running the stock UCA's. I will be getting the Light Racing UCA's when I have the funds.

And yes, I do have the 1/4" lean spacer. The truck sits perfectly level side to side.

 

T-Rev,

thanks for all the help....i'm getting a set of barely used 5100/eibach's and they're currently set at 0"....you just made me pretty much decide on raising to .85" and to get the TSB done...(my warranty is almost up)...can; wait to get everything installed!!!!!

 

No problem, you should love the setup. I will upload a couple pictures of it tomorrow so you can get an idea of just how it sits.

 

thanks..i can't wait to see the pics....what size tires are you running? i'm planning on running 265/70/17....

 

285/65/18 Nitto Terra Grappler's. I have a little bit of rubbing at full lock even after trimming. I am going down to a 285/60/18 soon anyways.

 

man i wish i could run 18's but money is tight right now....with the 265/70/17 i shouldnt have any rubbing issues, correct?

 

Sorry but I have no clue if they would.

 

No, you will be fine

 

so just to be certain....

if i run 5100/eibach's set at .85" and just the TSB in the rear i should be just about level, correct?

and then if i end up running 285/70/17 it would require minor trimming, correct?

the 5100/eibach set at .85" would give me approx about 2.5" of lift. would i be okay not running UCA's for a while until my stock tires need replacing?

sorry about all the questions, i just want to get everythig dialed in as much as i can before i actually install everything.

 

Yeap same here, i sit 1/2"-1" higher in the front with the same setup.
LOVE IT!

 

Yes about level

Yes you will require trimming/removing mud flaps for sure. I rub on my flaps with 275/70/17's with same lift.

Everyone is a little different but you will gain around that much. You do not have to replace your UCA's.. Yes it will definitly help everything with doing it (especially alignment) but i show aligned but do have a slight pull if i hit a small bump.

 

how is the wear on your tires? pretty even?

 

They are brand new tires so i haven't had them on long enough to see wear yet.

 

i just want to be sure that i'm NOT nose high....if i did the 5100/eibachs at .85" and the TSB and aal would i have a significant rake?

I don;t want a hugh rake either...sorry to ask so many questionsbut after searching the posts i just have gotten more confused.

 

x2 mine just came in the mail the other day. i got them from a guy off of here and im just waiting for my light racing UCAs that i got in the metal tech group buy, my toytec AALs and a couple other odds and ends then they will be all going in. im so glad that i finally got every thing on the way. its been almost 2 yrs. im so freaking happy!!!!!!!
