New adjustable coilovers arrived

Well I finally started purchasing items to do a mild lift on my truck. These showed up over the weekend.

 

Black and silver ones.. those are the best!

 

I wonder what brand , lift , model, price etc ?

 

Silver and black.....only the best. They are out of a shop in Layton, Utah, Fat Bob's. They use Bilstein 5100's with a 600lb coil. 0-3" of adjustability. $499.99.

 

Looks like Fatbobs garage/eBay
Edit: you just replied above me

 

Tried and true Bilstein versus a Bilstein 5100. Explain the difference. I called the shop and talked to them.

 

Have a read yourself https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/need-advice-on-fat-bobs-coilovers.304726/page-2

 

Yeah I read that. I take everything I read on this site with a 10lbs of salt. If not, I would hate my truck and everyone else in the world. Thanks for the input though.

 

No worries. Hope they work out for you. When I was searching for suspension on my old 2nd gen, I was looking at their kit. Ended up just going OME though. Good luck to ya

 

I will post back up if they turn out to be a pile of shit.

 

Sub'd for this reason

 

......well?

 

I put them on in October. 8 threads showing gave me 2.25” lift. I used a headstrong .25 spacer for driver lean. Shocks do appear to be Bilstein 5100 with threaded bodies. They ride nice (stiffer than stock). I am very happy with them.

 

Looks great! Are those threaded sleeves removable?

 

It did look like the threaded collar was removable. I suspect the collar is held in place by a snap ring. They were pre-assembled, so I only adjusted them to the height I wanted.

 

I still haven’t made up my mind. How are these working out now that you have a year on them?

 

I still really like them. Ride is good and no fluid leaks.

 

Sweet. Do you take them off-road at all?

 

I live in SW Colorado and do quite a bit of backcountry stuff. I travel maintained and unmaintained forest roads in Colorado and mtn bike in Moab a good bit. I roam around in Moab looking for the “spot” to camp. So yes offroad, but no rock crawling or crazy stuff.

 

Congrats, truck looks great and you found a sweet setup for your needs, for not a lotta dough.
