2nd Gen Eibach Toytec Gallery thread

will toytec put the 885 and 5100 together? install price? just curious. and if i plan on getting front armor, do you guys recommend the 886 instead?

 

I am not sure, but I have my doubts that they would assemble that for you. As you may already know, the 885 springs are designed for the OME shocks. I am sure Toytec would tell you to get the OME shock if you want to run the 885's.

09 with Eibach Springs/5100's

 

How are all of you installing the eibachs and 5100's are you using the floor jack method or are you having it assembled and then just installing the whole coilover?

I am wondering if due to the higher spring rate it makes it more difficult (dangerous) to do the floor jack method?

Thanks.

 

I did not have access to a nice spring compressor and did not trust my harbor freight compressor for the Eibachs. I took the assemblies to a shop across the street from me and let them swap the coils.

I have read that people have had great success with the floor jack method, but be careful and make sure you know what you are doing!

 

I know I would be comfortable with that method and the stock coils I just don't know how it will be with the Eibachs.

 

Do the 5100s come with a top plate, or just a threaded shaft? I'd like to get them and have them assembled before the install, then just swap out the whole strut. Is that possible?
Also, is it necessary to use the 1/4" spacer for the "lean"? I don't notice it on my truck, although I haven't measured. Would a high stance make it more obvious?
Thanks, G.

 

The 5100's do not come with top plates. I don't know if anyone sells them preassembled because in most cases people use the stock coils.

The lean becomes more obvious with lift. I would recommend the 1/4" spacer.

 

Toytec is the only company that sells the 5100 pre assembled with the eibach/toytec coils.

They are a jump in price, but they are offered. The top plates and rubber top bushings are not cheap that is main reason for the price increase. This does make install a easy swap.

They have two versions, coil on basic 5100 that is adjustable to preset ring land heights and then the fully infinite height adjustable model up to 3" using a spanner wrench.

 

had shop remove Eibachs (1.6") , bilsteins (.85"), add-a-leaf (1.5") and wheels/tires from my 09 TRD and relocate to the below MGM 2012 sr5 4x4. Still debating about adding the 1/4" spacer though. No vibes yet, ~200 miles so far. Ground to front Fender is ~37.25", Ground to rear Fender is ~38.5" 17x9 Moto's and 265/70/17 BFG's. Some rubbing at full turn on front mud flaps and some little plastic piece inside the front fender well (what ever that is for I have no clue)

Just wondering out of all of you who did the diff drop and who didn't any problems?

 

When I had eibach and 5100 set at .85 I had the diff drop in with no issues . Now I have icon coil overs with the diff drop still no issues .

 

I had the diff drop in but wouldn't work with my skid so I was told to take it out that it wouldn't hurt not

 

I have a ATO front skid . I made a spacer so the plate wouldn't hit the diff brackets.

 

Got any pics an can you explain what you did

No pics but I took a piece of plate ,cut it to size , drilled a slotted hole to match the ATO skid plate .welded it to the skid . It's 1/4" plate
Or if you don't have the means to do that . Just get a stack of washers and space the skid down till it doesnt hit the diff brackets. Either way works .
