Calling all 4 Cyl with 3" lifts.

What are your 5100's set at?

 

The lowest setting, the coils provide all the lift

 

I have Sway A Way 2.0 coilovers with 650lb x 14" springs with about 1/2" of thread showing (preload). I measured 23.5" from hub center to top of fender flare arch. I always felt that the 650lb coils were too much for the 4cyl. At some point I want to try 600lb or even 550lb coils since it rides a little rough.

I'm not actually sure how much lift I have, I put a wheelers 5 leaf pack on the back and leveled the front with the above settings on the coilovers.

Comparing my measurement to others in this thread, it seems like I have around 2.5" of lift.

5100 s with Eibach

 

What size tires? Your photo makes me wonder if my truck is already lifted a bit

 

what do you have in the rear and what engine?

 

2.7 engine and looking for front diff to add 4.30 Elocker.
Running 255/75/17s

 

Cheap ass pro comp lift. Bought it like this.

 

I have the 5100's all around and the eibach coils in front and I am running OME springs in the rear. It is a 2002 regular cab, 2.7L, 4X4. If you don't have added weight in the front I would stay away from these coils. I have extra weight and quite pleased with it....Until I do a solid axle.

5100's with 881's rides pretty good especially with Camburgs.
I think I'm going to move to the 882's though for a little extra lift

 

What measurement do you have from front hub to fender?

 

Kings F/R with Camburg UCA’s and Deaver J59’s

 

What are your bilstiens set at???

 

I think it’s safe to assume 0. You don’t want to preload coils such as eibachs

 

I think it says on the website you can go up to .85 or would that just be too much on a 1st gen 4 banger?

 

The first gen 5100s only have 3 settings (0,1.25or1.5, and 2.5). Preloading the eibach coils would damage the cvs and put you way too far from alignment no matter the engine or cab I think.

 

So right now I've got 5100s on the top setting if I got eibachs and put the 5100s on 0 would that just be about the same ride height as the 51s at top notch?

 

I have the same set up as you and I was trying to find a good coil to use. A lot of people say the the eibachs on our 4 cylinders will be too stiff and give too much lift without any bumpers or winches to add weight to the front end.
