Front Suspension

Hi all,

So I just had my my icon add a leaf installed on and my Tacoma and the front is down .50 inches (it was leveled before) I have OCD so it’s bothering me and I’m going to get a prerunner style tube bumper soon and I don’t want it to stink bug. I’m trying keep the leaf for payload. I’ve got bilstein 5100s to the top key on the shock because I run 33s. Any tips to fix the front?

 

Bilstein 6112

 

What will the 6112 do? Lift more? Stiffer for load capacity?

 

it gave me 2.5” of lift and a yes a stiffer ride but it’s a digressive valving so the faster you go over hard terrain the better it feels. I’ve never bottomed out no matter how hard I hit a rut/pothole/or off road divot. I’ve got mine set on the 6/5 setting for driver/passenger

 

Got it

 

You might have to get a higher spring rate coil for the front if you are already maxed out on the shock. The front bumper may drop the front a little more with your current set up, so a higher spring rate would help with the extra weight.

 

Where would I go to find some higher spring rate coils? What’s a good company? The first thing that came to mind was eibach

 

No sure Eibach makes coils to fit Bilstein. You would be looking for a stock style replacement. So OME...

 

Ok I’ll look into that thanks

 

Let’s say I don’t end up doing the bumper but it still stink bugs a tiny bit would the coils still lift it the little bit I need?

 

Practice Relaxation Techniques. Given that stress and worry are major triggers of OCD symptoms, one of the best ways to boost your OCD self-help skills is to learn and practice a number of relaxation techniques. Deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can be very effective additions to any OCD self-help strategy.
