5100 BILSTEIN with EIBACHs

Im currently running 265/75/16 M/T on my tacoma stock. I want to lift my truck though. I was wondering if anyone is running this same setup? Im also looking at adding wheel spacers to give my truck more stance. And Im going to be running the 5100s at 2.5 and either an AAL or blocks in the back. I want my truck to have the bulldog look.(front higher than back)

 

Billies set at .85 with toytec/eibach coils up front which gives about 2.5 inches of lift in front and have 1.5 AAL's in the rear. Tires are stock 265/70/16

 

looks good man. so eibachs give like almost 2' of lift?

 

From what I've read it's not recommended setting them at 1.75 with the eibach coils since the coils already give 1.6 inches. Setting them at 1.75 with the stock coils and rear block or AAl would be just fine.

 

billly/eibachs give 2.5 almost exactly

 

okay i just want the lift to be noticeable. my friend has a colorado with 2 inches and stock in the back and it leans pretty good.

 

what do you think this would look like? billly/eibachs in the front with 1inch block in the back. with like 1.5 or 2inch wheel spacers?

 

probably close to level maybe a little front high
the rear is higher from stock so the front lift only will be level-higher, probably higher

 

so what if i just kept the back stock?

 

idk id say get the small block or aal install the front first and see how it looks

 

i did the billy/eibach combo with a 2in aal and was perfectly level

 

If you want a "noticeable" lift then go 2.5-3 inches. If you get the eibachs paired with billies then set the billies on the 2nd notch for about 2.5" lift up front. If you want a full 3" lift up front then add a 1/4" top plate spacer to the front setup. To get the rear level with the front then you'll need 1.5" lift at least and even then you may be a little higher up front. I'd say go with at least 2" lift in the rear if you want it to match the front. I'm not a fan of the "bro lean" so that's why I say at least 2" on the rear.

 

we call that bro lean around here.

its kind of silly when you consider this: what happens when you load your bed down or tow something heavy? you sag, and with your "bulldog look" you'll be pointed straight at the moon when cruising down the freeway. I'd lift the back as well, maybe 1" to level the entire truck?

 

yeah i think ill go with billy/eibach and see how it looks. and if needed add lift to the back.
