Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Id get new front and rear bushings yes. Its the time to do it anyways

I ran 4.5'' of lift no problem on the street but i swapped in an extended rear brake line before i went and wheeled it. You don't have to do the fronts tho with this setup. If you go Mid travel then its a good idea too and LT is a must..obviously..

 

I'll prob order one from napa

 

whats the downfall not having eibach springs? my toytech lift set up is 2.5 in the front with STOCK springs and 2 inch deaver aal. Basically i dont have a credit card to order online anymore and my local summit racing shop could not match the specs on the toytec eibach springs i showed them. SO go ahead and buy the 33x12.5 tires i want or wait and get me some eibachs first

 

i dont think those tires will fit with 2.5" lift but i arguably dont know shit about shit

ill let one of the other guys chime in

 

The ride is supposed to be better with Eibachs because the shock will not be preloaded. And Eibachs will lift the truck about another 1/2 inch
Edit: and 33x12.5 should fit with a little trimming. not 100% sure though

 

Id go ahead and get the tires. Dont make the same mistake i and some others made by going with 32's and wishing they went 33 from the start. Your going to have to trim regardless with that wide of a tire, Monte will be ere shortly an tell you all about that.

Basically in a nutshell. They will "fit". Just will rub like crazy, just get the BFH and be prepared for it

 

You will just have to do more cutting trimming and hammering to get the 33x12.5s to fit with that lift.

The only downfall to the eibachs is that they give over 3" of lift and put your CVs at a steep angle...that's about it tho. Will be much better then stock preloaded coils.


So really depends how much cutting you want to do. If you get 33x10.5s you won't have to cut as much with either coil.

The back spacing on your rims will be key to as you can not run a 12.5 wide tire on a stock 7" wide rim. It wont wear correctly and you'll rub on the UCAs due to the 4.5" of backs pacing,

Either way with 12.5s you gonna have to cut a lot. I even had to trim up my fiberglass fenders and I trimmed my stock ones 4 times and still rubbed.

 

Ha!..was right behind ya

 

yea see ^^these guys know their shit. i dont

 

Lol before ya know it you know more about the truck then you'll want too haha...well..maybe..

 

alrite gothca. i mean i went to my local autosport store and they said they could not order my eibach springs and install them unless i bought new wheels and tires from them...pretty shaddy i thought, especially because they specialize in "lifts"

 

lol yea hopefully

 

thanks for the input fellas, and white toy taco im feelin the signature

 

Not that hard to install really. The coil overs are only held in by 4 bolts. Take the coil overs to a tire shop with the new coils and ask em to put em on. Should be cheap. Then just put the new coils over on and your done!

 

hahahahahahahahaha!

ya i agree thats the best/cheapest way to do it, i mean ive always been told "if ur going to do something, might as well do it right" so looks like ill be ordering them eibach's

 

I live by that saying.

Yeah with 12.5 inch wide tires you are going to have to cut. I have 11.5 wide tires and i barely rub on the frame and UCA
