Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

if you dont do aal or shackles you'll have some rake for sure. i went w/ deaver AAL driver side shim and still had a slight rake until i put my front skid which dropped it a smidge.

 

You have a picture of yours without the skid? Rake is sorta cool right now so no big deal.

 

Finished with mine. Federal M/Ts on sport wheels. Nothing in the back.

 

Can't remember but will I need anything new if I go from 1.75" to 2.5" on my 5100s stock coils?

 

No

 

An alignment and pillow for you ass as it'll ride stiffer then ever. But should be okay otherwise.

 

Might as well get eibachs then, or are those just as worse?

 

Eibachs will ride better

 

Unless you have extra front weight, probably close to the same.

 

I have a tube bumper.

 

You need more weight than that to help smooth out eibachs.

 

Get a winch and skids. Then you'll ride nice on the eibachs.

 

Already in the works. Should be ready to get the eibachs next week.

 

Can't wait to get my shit back on. Got almost nothing up front and it's like riding on bricks.

 

Id like to add some extra weight then. I had stock coils at 2.5 before and definitely felt it rode better yet with the eibachs and no weight (v6 4x4 ext cab)

 

I have the same truck.

 

Forgive me if I didn't search enough, but are the Eibach and billy's going to be too stiff if I throw them on my stock extra cab? No armor, just my DD and camping rig.

 

Eh, not ultra, but not recomended. its a 620lb coil that is long. If you aren't going to get armor ever, id get some OME 881s

 

Thanks @Blackdawg. I saw some 881s on Craigslist and it made me wonder which way to go. I read to get the ome nitro chargers of you get the 88x's
