Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Here's my billy setup. Front coil-overs w/eibach and rear aal with 5100's.

 

im getting the eibachs 5100s and toytec AAL. since i have the I4 will i get any bro lean?

 

oh yea lol prolly quite a bit at first. Your gonna get like 3.5'' of front lift with th I4.

 

+1...thats a hella good looking turk But needs an O/R front bumper and sliders...then it would be complete IMO

 

That looks outstanding! I get my coils installed tomorrow.

Can you post a pics of that rear bumper and give a little info on where you got it?

 

looks like an Elite rear plate bumper.

 

boot slide mod? please do explain. if you dont mind.

 

see sticky in top of first gen section

 

on the CV boots, you basically take off the stock clamps holding the boot on the shaft and then slide the boot up to make the boot more spread out. Then just use hose clamps to tighten it down

If you get the adjustable coil-overs no, you can adjust them to get rid of the bro lean. I would highly recommend doing the rear AALs first, then when you install the front coil overs you can simply dial them down to get rid of any excess lift in the front. Make sure when you order your springs you tell them that you have an I4. They will make sure you get the right rate springs. Call them and they will get you the 500# coils instead of the standard 600#'s that they come with in the drop down menu. They were extremely helpful in helping me determine everything that i needed.

 

are the eibach springs universal? from what i understand and have read they are???

If thats the case and i got a set of coils from a 2nd gen that have been on for lil more than a month will that allow them to be slightly settled before putting on my 02 2.7L?

Also how much lift is to be exspected? and will i need new UCA's?

 

not necessarily universal, but can be used between 1st and 2nd gens.


If they've been on a 2nd gen for a month, theyll probably have settled about a 1/2 inch.

With your I4, you'd then probably be looking at around 3"

the need for UCA's is hit and miss. Usually members dont "need" ucas, and just deal with vibrations (if they occur) but buying a new set is always a good precaution

 

so running them without ucas isnt bad but is possible and wont get the perfect alignment wich causes the vibrations? that will eventual be stopped with the addition of new UCA's?

 

most first gens don't need UCAs fro 3'' of lift. 2nd gens almost always do.

you should be fine without getting UCAs.

 

if so ur a lifesaver! well my wallet will think so ha

 

Yea no shit lol UCAs are pricey! lol

But they can never hurt your truck. And it does help alignment. So id plan on getting some like in the late future anyways. Gives you a bit more travel too.

Then you can get extended coilovers and have a good mid travel setup

 

thats my exact plan haha

 

Then you should be good!

 

alright haha then they can wait a lil bit for the UCA's

also maybe off topic for this thread but

billys 5100 or 5125? 5125 is cheaper would they be fine with a 1.5" aal?
