Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

I got the dakars and with no weight in the bed the truck sat level. I carry some sports equipment and tools and other stuff so it weighed the bed down a bit. I wanted some rake so I added extended shackles. Eventually I'll add the AAL to the dakars and probably go back to stock shackles. My point is... if you want an even stance with no weight in the bed then just the dakars will be enough. If you carry weight is suggest the AAL. Eibachs give off around 3" maybe a tad more after settling. Also get the BPV bracket and possibly the exhaust relocation bracket or just cut it off

If your gonna be flexing then I'd suggest extended break lines

 

Okay thank you, I plan on staying with the stock shackles. I'll get new bushings though. It's better to be safe than sorry with the extended brake lines.

 

Got this setup on the new truck. Started with this setup on my old truck and loved it then went to kings but I love my eibachs and billies, new truck rides so good

 

rear end is finished. Bilstein 5100 with toytec add a leaf.

 

Anyone else running 35s with bilstein and Eibachs?
I only have a 2 inch aal in the back right now.
Just wondering. Never seen any

 

You have to rub somewhere, most 35s have the fenders cut or something

 

I was.

You have to tub to actually use the truck though

 

That's what I meant, didn't think you could get away without rubbing just by pinch weld mod

 

You can't. Not if you want full steering radius and suspention travel.

 

Who needs that anyways

 

Yeah I honestly just used a BFH and best the shit out of it behind the wheel. I'm not a running a sway bar either.
I have full turning radius and it clears.
Main thing I haven't gotten to. Yet is trimming the besides abit.
It rubs when I try to flex it out all the way in the back. The trucks body and paint is in pretty damn good shape. I don't have the balls yet to chop into the fender lol 8
The fenders on mine definitely clear 32s all the way stuffed

 

Did you buy new or used? i can believe used worn down ones would clear.

and you must do 0 offroading then haha cause i couldn't even hardly back out of the garage with mine they rubbed so bad when turning.

R15s or R16s?

 

They're brand new.
I do abit but nothing crazy.
I have these mainly for street driving around town and wherever I travel too. Which is why I bought all terrains. I have two sets of muds in 32s and 33s . I can swap over too if needed.
They are 15s . I've only had 15s on this truck

 

Sorry to go off on a tangent but I figured this was the best thread to ask questions about the 5100\eibach setup, I just want to make sure I'll have all the right stuff before I go to install. So far I've got:
5100's for all 4 corners
my 620lb 3 in eibach coils
1/4" spacer to compensate for the lean on driver's side
But what do I need for a rear lift? I only plan on running 265/75/16 by the way, and do not want the bro lean.

 

AAL and that should be it, extended brake lines would be helpful too

 

I knew i was forgetting something.. Who makes extended brake lines that are trustworthy? That's definitely not something I want to go cheap on..

 

There's group buy for SS extended brake lines on here. And then wheelers off-road has some that most guys run

 

Just threw the lift on this weekend.

 

Looks good! Makes me wish I kept my camper
