    Plate bumpers do look great, but here's a tube bumper perspective for you... Mine is a Trai Gear bumper, and comes without the stinger if you don't want one. While maybe not as sexy, I like tube becasue they're generally lighter and cheaper. If you're thinking tube, you also might want to check out the Addicted Off-road bumper. Not sure if anyone with billys/eibachs has that bumper or not..

    I been looking at this bumper, lot of clearance, light weight compared to others and priced reasonably

    Got a link to the Eibachs on Wheelers? I looked on Wheelers site, but for some reason I don't see the Eibach springs listed on there anywhere.:confused: I have been trying to find someone has them (not on backorder). Thanks man!

    I just had to call. Their website is kinda crappy. Don't forget to mention TacomaWorld...you'll get 5% off, I think. I ordered mine about a month ago and they had them.

    I talked to Wheelers yesterday and they're out of stock. They get them from Toytec, so once they stock back up Wheelers should have them too.

    AND once they're back in stock i'll hopefully be posting pics of my Taco here like the rest of y'all.

    They didn't happen to give an idea as to when they might get them from Toytec did they?

    If you order the Eiback, coilovers, and AAL rear combo, call Toytec...they give you the EXACT specs that your alignement should be...its slightly out of spec according to the alignment machine, but trust them...they know their tolerances. The alignement guy thought I was nuts, but did as i requested and it drives STRAIGHT down the road and I have 20k on my tires (see my garage) and they still look brand new...rotated every 5-6k.

    They had no idea (could be weeks or months)....got the same answer from Toytec, wish I had a better answer for both our sake. Oh well...atleast it gives time to save the $$

    Thanks for the info man. Ya I really wanna go with those springs on my 5100 vs the OMEs. Guess I will just have to continually check the webpages for those. It's a little annoying when you have everything else for your lift except these springs.:tumbleweed:

    "0" or the stock height setting.

    The eibach coils alone will give about 3-3.5'' of lift, which is alone is a lot on stock IFS.

    IF you set the 5100's at top ring, yes, they will give you 3"...but that starts putting alot of stress on things you dont want to stress on a IFS...ToyTec recommended the middle ring...brings you in at about 2.5" and then the AAL give you 1-1.5" in the rear and levels it out perfectly.

    Obviously the minute you drop it off the jack stands, its going to LOOK like 4", but the springs settle in pretty quick...and imho, drives 3x better than a stock suspension and can handle 33's perfectly...Im running 265/70R17's with no issues at all...and no more rolling in corners, doesnt chatter the back tires over bumps...the girl friend actually prefers the ride of my truck than her BMW 328i!

    What you are saying here might apply to a 2nd gens but LSC15 has a 1st gen

    As TacoMX told you, set the spring perch on the lowest level on your 1st gen Tacoma. The Eibach coils will give a v6 Tacoma more than 3" of lift initially.

    Just talked with Toytec, and they said they hope to have the Eibachs in next week. I also just learned they are like all of 20 minutes from where I live...so I can just drive on down and pick them up. :cool:

    Nice, lucky for you they're so close. I ended up getting their Ultimate Lift, came in the mail yesterday. I'm hoping to get it on the truck this weekend then I'll be sure to post pics. Was stoked to see this box at the doorstep when i got home. The Kings are for my Tundra..both Toyota's will be very happy.
