2nd Gen Eibach Toytec Gallery thread

Right on, thanks man. Might pick some up this weekend and do my coils before installing them

 

I picked up some coils on the board yesterday....u guys mind showing pics of what you used to paint them with?

You'll need the ground coat and the color coat.

 

So, I have recently purchased my Eibach springs and 5100s, but I taking a different installation approach. I plan to completely assemble the new struts, then simply swap them.
Here is my question. In between the top plate and the spring, is there a rubber isolator or pad of some sort? I'm not speaking of the bushing set for the strut shaft, I have that covered. It looks as though the flat of the spring will sit Ok on the top plate, just like the bottom sits on the strut cup, metal to metal... I'm just not sure. I've seen pictures where people have an isolator, but it may be a different type of spring.
Any help, please.

 

God this is a tough decision - dropping the truck off tomorrow and I'm not sureif I should gamble with the Eibachs and the .85" setting. I have the 3 leaf pack in rear (no TSB) and the toytec 1.5" AAL. I'd like this thing to sit level

 

Here is my buddies truck that we lifted a couple weeks ago.

 

Heres mine: Billies 5100 all around with front set @.85 and Eibach coils with 1/2" spacer for the 3" lift. 2" Deaver AAL in the rear and stock wheels for now untill wednesday. Then ill have SCS Stealth 6 rims in matte black and 265/75/17 Duratracs on there

 

Looks good! The new wheels and tires will compliment it a lot.

 

^^^ I really hope so I cant wait

 

Anybody running these with Bilstein's at 0 and just a TSB or stock 4-leaf pack? If so, how close to the 1.6" net lift did it give you?

 

Yes, My first post

 

Hey guys, I am new to the 2nd gen side. Had a 1st gen for years. But what is a drivers side spacer do?

 

If its a 1/4" spacer it helps get rid of the "Taco lean." On 2nd gen Tacomas the drivers side sags more.

 

Oh ok . Thanks for the info. That will help me when I get ready to lift mine .

 

Debating on whether to wait on an alignment till I get some LR UCA's. How long have y'all been running this lift on stock UCA's? Just dunno if I wanna get some LR UCA's and then tires or tires sooner and LR UCA's later on.

 

Just depends. Some people have alignment issues and some dont. My buddy still has his stock UCA's and he says his alignment is just fine. Personally I would add aftermarket UCA's just to get that extra play and get the alignment back to factory specs.

 

That's what I was thinking, I just didn't wanna get an alignment, still have some vibe's, then get aftermarket UCA's and need to get another alignment. Maybe I'll go ahead and order some next week or so

 

Yeah if your going to get some then just wait until you install them....then get your final alignment.

 

I had an alignment done right after I installed the lift and like I stated a few pages back I had some wondering issues and the front tire where getting torn up. June I installed my TC UCAs and had it aligned and it is right on the money. I still have a slight 25mph vibe. I have beefed taco's cb drop on and that helped a little bit. I am getting ready to install a u bolt flip in the rear and while I have that apart I am going to throw in a 3* shim and see of that fixes her.

 

Do's the sag with the oem springs or after market springs? I have the TRD pkg. with 12000 miles and I dont see it.
