Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

5125s and 5100s and 5150s are all the same really.

5125s just come in a lot more lengths as to 5150s

5150s have resivors for better cooling

all the same valving tho(ride the same)

if your just getting a 1.5'' aal, then 5100s will work or 8.5'' travel 5125s/5150s

just depends on your wallet ha

 

wallet says 5125 possibly stretching to 5100s and completely drooling over 5150s haha

damn this sight is amazing and full of knowledge for my dumb ass
glad it doesnt charge for lack of knowledge

 

5100s and 5125s cost the same..so idk what your looking at..5150s are more pricey for sure. I am running em, i like em

i was looking at the pricing of just the rears seprately not the whole package of 4 but now that i see that im hoping i get some money for graduation this year haha

 

oh lol yea plus you get a discount from DSM. Great guys to work with

 

well hope that solves your issues man. To be honest..i haven't even gotten an alignment yet and its been months lol no issues at all lol

 

Figured this would be the best place to ask:

What is the general consensus about the ride quality with the Eibachs/Bilsteins vs. an OME setup?

I have the 2.7L/4cyl, how much lift should I get from the Eibach/5100 coils? And will the ride be too harsh because I have the 2.7L/4cyl?

Also, how much lift should I shoot for in the rear to level the truck out with the Eibachs up front?

 

Basically the consensus is that the OME with nitrocharger shocks ride better. But we all still love out 5100/eibach combo.

With your 4 cyl i believe you will get 3.5'' easy man. Maybe even more at first. And ride is kinda perspective orientated..

As for the rear to level it, you would need like 3.5-4'' of lift to make it close to level id guess. More then an AAL will give you anyways..

 

Do yyou have or plan to run armor? If you add 100+# for plate bumber and winch and another 100# for full skids and sliders, your eibachs will smooth right out where OME coils will begin to sag.

 

Yea i can vouch that it is smoother with a plate bumper

 

I plan to run full armor and skids, but a tube bumper, not a plate.

 

id get the Eibachs then. Might as well. Go big or Go Home

 

I may do that. The billies are also cheaper, and made in the USA.

Will just need to figure out what to run in the back

 

5150s!

That's what I'm going to do... wish I did them in the 1st place.

 

as far as the lift part, not the shocks.

 

ah.


well as soon as i've located the funds im gonna grab AP expos

 

yeah, I am not going that route because I have a 97 and would have to cut off my spring hangers and relocate them. If that wasn't an object I would just get the expo's because they are cheap compared to other leaf packs, and give the perfect lift height.

 

Yea you are screwed like me. I pretty much have the best option you can get without getting a custom leaf pack by Dakar or Deaver or Alcan.

 

yeah...wtf toyota, why change the hanger mount locations and effing us 95-97 guys

 

Yea it sucks man. I really wanted the Expo packs..I think next time ill just do it.
