Eibach Lift Coils installed today...very happy!

Eibach and Original Coil. I need to get a taller jack and stands.



Daytime shot of the Truck with new coils, rear TSB, and BFG 265/75/16's. This is the way these should roll off the factory floor.

 

I think I'm going to get these coils and 5100s 0n all 4 corners, set the front at 0" this should ride better than 5100s at 1.75" with stock springs. The local O'rileys can get them for me for $ 183.86 I might just stick with this set up for good. But it is nice to know I can go higher later.

 

Would the ome 884s work in the same way?

 

Chris what do you think is the very best way to level out my truck. as far as ride/ travel.(I'm 2.5" higher in the back ) Congrats. on your taco P.H.D. your my hero lol

 

Sounds like a good price I think the cheapest I found them online was $150 for the parts only.

Here's the Dealer look up link off of the Eibach site. You may get a better price through one of them. Though, for $30 I would just go with someone you like.

Local Dealers

Online Dealers - Looks like you can even get them at Sears.

You should get pretty close to what I got your truck is only 180 pounds lighter than mine. That is total weight, not just at the front. Plus, Eibach gives you a lifetime warranty against sagging, defects, etc. They ride very nice, I am smiling everytime I drive my truck now.

 

That was for parts only! Where were the ones for 150 at?

 

I wouldn't worry about $30 bucks sounds like you are getting a good price.

Phone some of the dealers off of the Eibach site or just Google the part# 8292.620 or 8292 or 8292620. Same spring for the FJ and Tacoma.

Here's a few:

anybody want to take a guess on the amount of lift with these springs and 5100's set at 0.85. my calculator tells me 2.45 going off the info of 1.6 inch lift from eibach website. don't know if my doublecab would be too heavy for the 1.6 inch lift. i found a damn unbeatable price on these springs and have become very interested. the ome setup just seems too costly right now(just bought a box off of mr marv.)

 

Where did you get them? How much? Elkaholic may interested as well.

 

You're only 155 pounds heavier over all than my truck, 3990 vs 4145pounds according to the Toyota website. So I would think you would get close to what I got on their own. The spring is listed at 1.6"'s for both of our trucks. Being a firmer spring it may not be effected by the small weight difference in our trucks.

The 5100's set to .85" may effect the Eibach coil differently than the stock coil. They are a firmer coil so you may get slightly more than .85"'s when they are pre-loaded. I am going to guess around 2.5 inches with the 5100's.

 

i got the hook up on these springs through a guy i work with. pm me for price, i would have to calculate shipping though.

 

Bumping this back for an update.

canuck_tacoma, are your stock struts still holding up well to the Eibach coils? Also, are your stock struts the TRD Bilsteins?

Thanks!

 

Still very happy with them.....no problems with the struts. Yes they are the blue/yellow billy's.

I do notice a little extra dampening would be nice on big compressions, so 5100's may be nice. Not worth the extra $ to me though.

 

I'm trying to build a truck that can carry some extra weight, but I don't want to lift it much (if any.) I'm thinking 5100s with TSB springs and Eibachs may do the trick.

 

That should work well. The Eibach's bring the nose up about 1.5", which works well with the TSB. I still have the back end an inch or so higher so when I load it up the truck doesn't sit nose high.

 

Also, no front dif drop needed and alignment is well within spec without new UCA's.

 

Sounds perfect; thanks again for your info! (Rep added.)

 

So where's the best place to pick up a set of the Eibach coils part no. 8292.001?

Can these springs be had together with the 5100's? I would like to use these on my '09 access cab with the 5100's at all four corners. No lift at all or very minimal is desired.

 

Man,are you crazy?You're living dangerously doing this.May want to consider something more stable under your jack & stands instead of this.Looks like a good wind gust & your replacing some rotors & shit.I would not get close to this truck setting like this.
