    How do ya'll like running billy 5100's all the way around with eibach 3" coils in the front and 2" aal in the rear. With 33x12.50 tires. Show pics if you like. Im thinking about running this set up. Im going to leave the billys set at 0 and add the 3" eibach coils will it give me the 3 inch lift that Im looking for.

    Been wanting know and been asking this same question all day and still havent found answers and nobody even answered them. What setting do I need to run on the 5100's up front with the eibach springs to achieve 3 inches of lift?

    My truck is a v6 could it effect the eibach springs lifting the truck on its own.

    They look perfect not to big or small what's the metric size??
    I want 33s too but I don't wanna really cut anything unless it's minimal you think they'll fit with no rub on the lift?? My taco is exactly like urs

    That's what I was thinking too just the pinch weld cause it definitely looks like there's plenty of room for 33s
    I'm thinking a good power loss is gonna happen too with the 33s on the 2.7 but it should do fine

    I am running this set up with 33x12.5 and I had some rub but did the pinch weld mod and no problems anymore. I added this set up after adding a bumper and winch which made my front end drop about an inch with the spacer lift. The new coils and struts fixed the added weight sag issue along with getting my the full three inch lift.

    Sounds good thanks but 3.5 is to much for me. But if the truck gets lifted that much by the springs oh well its already been done.

    Your going to love these springs I love mine and I got 3 1/2" but they have settled to about 3 1/4" and I have 5" out back running 33x12.5's. one thing I blew a CV boot in about 8 months so be prepared for that and I have the Diff drop.

    dude this is the second thread that ppl have told you the right awnser to all your questions..

    The eibachs are a 650lb coil. they will lift your truck 3'' even with a plate bumper and winch. They NEED TO BE SET TO 0 ON THE 5100s! anything higher is BAD!

    Quite worrying so much. Like half the ppl on here run this setup it is proven and works, so order it already lol :p :D

    Toytec is out of stock on the eibach springs. Anybody else know where I can get them for the same price it is $150.
