Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Has anyone measured the travel on this setup yet? I know I have the same setup, but I cant measure my travel currently. I debating some extended coil overs and Im wondering if its worth the extra inch of travel...

 

Trucks gonna look sweet with that lift. I got same tailights

 

Are u speaking of the adjustable coilovers? You got em? Was it not enough lift? It says up to 3.5". Or are u just wanting more travel in the shocks?? I'm hoping I can retain the same amt of lift I have now with this kit... Any input on that?

 

Yeah I like the fact they are fully adjustable. I plan on getting tube bumper and a winch eventually so it'll take like 5 minutes to adjust and compensate. Done.
And yeah these brake lights are sweet. Except it was weird that only the brake lights are led and you have to use bulbs for the reverse and turns. Except I put in leds for those. Thinking of retroing brighter leds inside for the turns.

 

No, Im still running the eibachs. Just can measure the flex right now. The extended travel coil overs are said to give extra travel but Im curious if the difference is worth it.

 

Haven't got a real good picture yet but i love the look

 

Sweet! What did you do in the rear?

 

Yea...there is nothing wrong with the way it looks. Save your money and put a black wheel on it instead.

 

That's a good lift! I wish I had the adjustable Coilovers but I got the Eibachs and Bilsteins separate and put them together myself. I'm not sure how that other guy got his ultimate lift for only $700, must of been a holiday discount or something. I paid $1012 exactly for the Eibachs, 4 Bilstein 5100's, DAKARS, leaf spring bushings, and a BPV which you should get or you can easily make your own. The Toytec BPV kinda gets in the way of other bolts so you might think about getting one from BAMF (vendor on here).

Since your getting the adjustable setup I think it's about $300 more than what I
Paid, but should be well worth it because of the adjustability factor. It looks like your getting everything you need. When you do get new leafs remember to get new leaf bushing with those. Since your getting shackles you can reuse the stock bushings, if the come out.

 

Cool thx for the info man! Looking forward to this. Didn't really know much about different lift setups until I realized I needed new shocks and decided to bite the bullet and go all out.

 

I'll be here soon! Picked these up today

 

^ I have the same set up and love it. I bet your pumped!

Would you be able to measure the eibach coils and tell me how tall they are?

 

Yea I can't wait to put them on! Just need time now

Uh they are a tiny bit over 15 inches

 

^ awesome, Thank u! I was just wondering the comparison in length to the stock coils.

 

Sorry, haven't been on in a few days. I did a Wheeler's 1.5" AAL in the rear with Bilstein 5100 shocks.

 

Already have 5100's but decided to pull the trigger on the Eibachs. Just need to decide what leafs to get. Can't make up my mind... Putting in the order tomorrow!

 

I'd recommend the expos over standard ones jmo

 

If you don't haul crap around everyday, have a topper on full time, etc the standard's are just fine.

Dakars with aal or expo's would be way too much spring for daily driven truck that does not have constant load in the bed all the time.

I carry about 80-100 lbs of crap in my bed all the time and the standard's are more than adequate. With proper length shocks and bumps that are fine for occasionally hauling crap around too.

 

I have 1" Toytec lift shackles, you think I would be ok with the Dakars without the AAL?

 

Depends if you regularly haul stuff or not. If you have a heavy fiberglass topper, or always have a few hundred pounds in your bed the dakars with aal would be good. If not, the regular dakars would be the way to go
