5100's with eibach

ok so i have a 2008 trd 4x4 with tsb i'm looking at billy 5100 with the eibach springs and 1 1/2" add a leaf or the 2" add a leaf can i get 3 inches of lift outa the front

and doesn anyone have this set up how does it work for u??????

 

VERY similar to what I have.

Front: Eibach 1.6" coils, 5100's at 0.85", 1/2" top plate on driver's side, 1/4" top plate spacer on Passenger side = settled to a perfect 2.75" lift on each side.

Rear: TSB with Wheeler's Off Road 1.5" AAL

Works beautifully, drives nice and wheels well with decent flex.

Pictures in my gallery

 

ok thanks man do u have the tsb done also??

 

also for got to ask this before but will i need new uca's with this setup cause i want to get about 3"s of lift or close to it

 

Yes, I do have TSB leaves plus the 1.5" AAL. I thought I was going to need UCA's but they were able to align it as is. It drives fine and doesn't wander on the highway. I'll eventually get some anyway for more suspension travel but it's not an immediate necessity.

 

TRDboy, Are you running wheel spacers?

 

Yep, 1.25" Spidertrax, stock alloy rims and 285/75/16 (33")tires. If you hover over the blue "TRD Off Road 4x4" icon under my name, it lists my mods. There is also several pictures in my gallery.

 

ok good deal i cant afford the uca's right now so thats good thanks

 

I can't afford them yet either but I'll get then eventually. Other things I want to buy first. Damn UCA's are a rip off. A little u-shaped arm with a few bushings basically matches the cost of my whole aftermarket suspension.

 

LOL wow, you have the exact same front end setup as me! only difference is I have a 2" toytec AAL

 

I got the LR UCA's from fat bobs garage for like 379. They allow me to run 285's on stock rims with absolutely no problems at all. At first I was going to pick up the spidertrax, but the cost of 2 sets was damn near the cost of the UCA.

 

cool thanks man

 

I have this set up (non-tsb)... 1.6" Eibach coils, Bilstein 5100's set @ "0" and the add-a-leaf( 1.75" I think). Purchased through Toytec.com during a group buy about 3-4 months ago.

But if you're looking for 3", maybe consider the OME set up @ Toytec.com.

 

yeah i'm n0ot anal about having 3inches exatly but i would like to have close to it 2.5 would be fine with me which i should be able to get close to that

 

How is the ride with this compareds to stock?

...and issues after an alignment?

 

"How is the ride with this compareds to stock?

The ride is great. It's a little firmer than stock... not as "squishy".
I can't find the alignment printout but all settings were in spec.


"wmb do you have new uca's?"


I do not have new uca's. Though I may purchase them in the future. Alignment was put into spec range. The shop couldn't get them to the "ideal" setting, but safely into spec range. I wish I could find the alignment printout #'s and quote you some real numbers.

Like I mentioned above, I may pic up ucas in the future, even if I don't truly "need" them, because I would prefer the specs be set a the "ideal" settings.

I do have a slight shudder/vibration@ ~3-6 mph and ~24-28 mph. I just have not had the time or the weather to really diagnose/solve the vibe.

Overall, I'm very happy with this set up.
