Bili 5100/ eibach springs question

We aren't BSing with you

We are trying to get you to stop doing something that is a waste of effort time and money and unsafe.

If you actually want to offroad, you have the wrong truck. Sell it and get a real 4wd truck.

Stacking spacers is a horrible idea.

Lift shackles will work differently on your truck then ours as its a SUA setup so it won't lift the truck that much.

 

Hey, dumbass, your truck is spring under axle. Lift shackles add lift if it is spring OVER. So why don't you cool your jets and learn a bit more ok princess?

 

Oh you want to start fabbing now, you should take advice from this guy. The both of you can get together and make some high quality stuff!!

I don't come here to intentionally fight over lift kits. What I was talking about with a double spacer, I know you aren't suppose to stack them. The spring could come loose and god knows after that. I'm talking about fabbing a sleeve over part of the spring to prevent that. I wasn't born yesterday, just because I'm younger than the majority on this site doesn't mean I haven't looked into it all. And think about the physics with a shackle lift. It's called a shackle lift for a reason, and also about bodylifts? Why do so many jeeps include them? I'm not 30 yrs old planning on running my truck for the rest of my life. As stated before, I'm just making my dd an adventure-mobile for the time being before the service. Yeah they aren't preferred but for clearing a set of tires, I feel like it's necessary to pay $100 rather than 3,000. Being an 18 yr old working at a grocery store, it's fine to me to have an inch or so separating the body from the frame. It's not a 4wd so I wouldn't have front driveline issues and for the rear it would be very minimal. Again, I have no intentions on fighting with anyone on here, but if you're gonna come off on that foot than so be it. Other than that, I still appreciate ya'lls input.

 

Lol I saw his truck on craigslist the other day

 

this was the guy I was referring to when I said the last guy that tried to go rogue with fabrication got laughed out of three of his own threads.

....and it looks like you're headed down that path. nothing you want to do will work. at least not safely, or for too long. don't do it bruh (am I appealing to your high school lingo?)

oh and you haven't sacrificed your life for anyone yet so don't be getting all uppity over joining the marines. for all we know you'll drop out of basic. I'll respect your service when you serve.

 

Shackles will add lift to spring under also

 

That was just an idea, I'm about 100% I'm not gonna be redoing my shock mounts and everything.. S runner coils are definitely a go though. My mos will be sketchy, combat engineer. If I'm in the field however. But yeah stoked on my trucks outcome.

 

if you're leaving you might as well leave it AS IS. no one will be driving it right? I mean you'll come back with a paycheck so I'd just wait until you're paid enough to either go all out on it or buy a new truck.

 

Yeah, I just wanna do something with tax returns though. I'd get a 4 wheeler if one came around but they usually end up a project or disaster. For a couple hundred, I was just gonna get the coils and 2" BL to fit them 32's. Or whatever looks like could make it under there

 

Shit, did I just herp derp hard? Maybe I was mixing it up with inverted shackles

 

This is why I said "intended service".....

 

haha yeah man, tell you this, made me think about that one pretty hard lol. Which are the most recommended shackles? 4crawler will do a reinforce one if you ask him but testing waters for other brands.

 

If your interested in selling your 'unmodified parts' for a slight cut im interested. Please dont torch the springs or something silly then try to sell them to me...

(I pm'd him about these parts before reading this thread...read he was selling them in a different thread).

 

HAHA is that the "Homebuilt Long Travel" "off road monster" you are referring to?

 

Would yall reccomend installing the 5100s on a lift or the ground? Anything else i can do while im under there? Doin it tomorow!!!

 

yes Mr. 5lugger95 and his mangled, jimmy-rigged, POS monstrosity of a rig to be exact

 

Should i post his craigslist link??

 

If you're just doing shocks you won't need to jack the truck up. May as well check all your u-bolt torques while you have the tools out. Maybe clean and spray some undercoat on the axle/frame?

Edit: Assuming we're talking rear here...

 

Sorry no doing the fronts. Thoughts?
