Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

H/f I was at 24.4" at install
Now im right at 24"

 

yea im not disapointed with them at all.

although they aren't anything on the same level as some nice CO.

but still a nice setup, and i am not complaining at all.

But if you can afford it..id get some nice Foxes

 

Yea that much sag is normal i think.

 

Aint complaining, I blew both cv boots the month of the install

Though my rake is mega awesome, like yours

 

Well monte, if i've learned anything I've learned that overall performance is related to the spring & control & comfort is the shock's job, I've beat the hell out of my 5100's & my stock coils have had it but the 5100's still cycle perfectly & the fact they're valved for Tundras should be an ideal match for the heavier Eibachs, it should level me out ..

 

Yep can't complain with that!

i guess after riding in a truck with some nicer shocks i felt like mine wasn't as nice haha

I still like it a lot tho And im sure you will like them as well

 

Rake FTW!

i have two blow boots now too..one from my tumble and one from..well..idk haha

 

Shit tell me about it, after riding in haas's race tuck (Engage) out in the desert hitting 2's & 3's at 60-70 mph & not feeling anything it was hard to ride in anything else....

But yeah, i'm gonna be real happy with the Eibach's, i don't mob much, more of a technical 'froader so no real need for an expensive strut/co right now

 

they will serve you well for that

 

Just joined the club. Rides a bit rougher than the OME's but I like the height:

From hub to fender
Front: 24.5"
Rear: 25"

What kind of flex can I expect from these? Any flex shots?









Diff drop is on the way....

 

Yea I got so,e flex shots ill post later. I think they do great offroad

 

Not even half or what they got. I can scrub upper fenders with no sway bar

 

Awesome, thanks. Those 265/75 16's? Still debating 265 or 285.

 

265's. Both sets. Not had any clearance issues but still wish id gone with 285's

 

Very nice! And as they settle, the ride will get a bit softer...

And they flex fine! Easy to hit those bumpstops...

 

Your truck looks really, really tall for some reason. What size tires are you running?

 

just cause of small tires and fresh coils. Mine was like that on 31s..

here is 33s stuffed

 

Nice flex, drop some heims on the ends ^ really twist'er up



Hey Monte , today i was told that I couldn't put another/taller coil on my 5100's so i ask the guy "What about Eibachs /Toytec 112-620 ?" he said the perch on the 5100's isn't designed for another spring, etc:... I'm calling bull shit on that answer... So whats the skinny ? You just drop the clip to stock, slide on the coils, re assemble correct ??

 

Yea..the toytec eibachs were made for the 5100s..so that's BS

But ya, just set the 5100 at 0" and slap the coils on.

I'd just order from toytec really..get some new bushings too if you didn't last time. It's a good time to replace them
