Wheeler's Offroad T2 Front Coils

Has anyone installed these on their truck? Just wondering how much lift it actually gave and how the ride quality is? They are made by Eibach for Wheeler's so I would guess that quality is pretty nice.

 

Ride quality is going to come mostly from the valving inside the shock, the spring is more or less holding up the weight of the truck. Those springs are rated at 742 lb/in which is extremely stiff. 14x700lb springs are usually too stiff for most applications.

So essentially you would only want to use these with a lot of weight on the front? The OME 887 or the Eibach Pro Lift Coils would probably be better with almost no extra weight?

Side thought: Can the Eibach Pro Lift Coils even fit the Bilstein 5100's?

 

Yes, you would need an incredible amount of added weight to need those springs. For a cheap lift, those options can work.

 

So if my research is correct the regular Eibach Pro Lift springs are also 742lbs but everyone running those says they have excellent ride quality over the stocks even with nothing aftermarket on the front end. Is there something I'm missing?

 

Incorrect. Bilstein pro lift 2.5" silver coils are 620lbs. I am currently running them with my 5100 set at 0. Ride quality is indeed fantastic.

 

I was talking about these: https://www.rogue-offroad.com/product-p/e30-82-069-02-20.htm which Eibach says are 742lbs.

Are you talking about these? https://www.rogue-offroad.com/product-p/eibcoil.htm which I didn't know fit the 5100s. On their site it says it's meant coil overs like Kings or Foxs.

 

Just talked to Eibach and their 14" 650lb springs do not fit the 5100's

 

That's odd. Stock length springs are 14". Here is a picture of my Bilstein pro lift 2.5" springs on a 5100. Currently also installed. Depending on where you buy the springs, some distributors will specify it as 610 and some 620.

 

I think I see where there may be a disconnect. For some reason on Eibachs website if you are looking for 3rd Gen parts it gives you a different Part Number that is a 2" spring rated at 740lbs. But if you search for 2nd Gen is gives you another part number for 2.5" springs and those may be what you have?

3rd Gen: https://eibach.com/us/e30-82-069-02-20-2016-2020-toyota-tacoma-pro-lift-kit

2nd gen: https://eibach.com/us/e30-82-007-03-20-2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-pro-lift-kit

 

I apologise, I did not realize this was for a 3rd gen. Albeit the 3rd gen t1 coil is 15" with .7" wire diameter.

The springs i have (MPN# E30-82-007-03-20) are 15.75" with .7" wire diameter.

I was also told to use a specific Eibach pro truck sport shock but I was able to fit the 2.5" on the 5100. The issue I encountered while installing is that the spring is wound pretty tight and I was able to compress it enough to get a few threads started and impacted it down from there.

 

No worries, now I am wondering if I could get those to work if it would still give 2.5" of lift instead of the 2" from the ones they have listed for the 3rd gen?

 

I do not think so as the 3rd gens are a bit heavier. It works the other way around as I know 2nd gens gain +1" when installing oem coilovers from a 3rd gen.

You could however run a small 1/4" spacer in conjunction with the 2" lift coils to gain an additional .5" of lift.

 

I have 6112 and want to put the 31 82 069 02 eibachs but I need a 3” I.D TO FIT YHE 2.5” 6112. Any suggestions
