    Eibach coils. 5100's all around. AAL. WickedFlow
    Finally got my lift on! Ive got a 2011 4x4 TRD sport. The lift I got was eibach coils and Bilstein 5100's all around. Fronts are set to .85in. In the back are 2in toytec AAL. I ordered the whole kit from toytec.

    Took probably 8-10 hours total. Front was pretty easy. Had Meineke assemble the front coils. The back AAL was a biyach. Lining of the centering pins and compressing the leafs sucked.

    But thanks to EverTaco, a les schwab buddy, and a lady friend we got it in! On to the pics...

    Stock, only thing done is window tint.

    Finished product.

    I'm on a slanted driveway in the pics.
    Measurments are
    Drivers front 37 1/8
    Drivers rear 39
    Pass front 38
    Pass rear 39 1/8
    Why the difference front left to right? Maybe it will settle into place..

    Tomorrow Goodyear duratracs 285/70/17 go on these...

    Thanks for lookin!

    Looks great, can't wait to see it with the new wheels and tires. I'm hopefully going to close a deal on the same truck this week except with a LB.

    Difference left to right is because the gas tank, battery, and the driver (the one who is always in the truck) are on that side. They make spacers to compensate for the "Taco Lean"

    Still looks good- Nice improvement man!!

    Hmm. I put the 1/4 inch spacer on the drivers side too. Can't really even tell unless you've got a tape up next to her anyway.

    Rides great. Not a huge difference than stock. I notice the bumps in the road a little more. So I'd say it's a little more stiff, but still a great ride (as she also said)

    Slight vibes from 5-10mph every once in a while. No wandering or anything else.
    I'll be getting the alignment soon as tires are all on too.

    New UCAs will be in the near future also...

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...

    look at where the bottom of the coil seats to that bottom plate. they should both be dropping down over the c-clip to also help hold it into place.

    definitely needs to get fixed, besides just the height issue. makes it more susceptible to popping that c-clip out and having a bad day.
