Jeremy, how do you like the 5100/eibach combo for your front struts? I'm looking to replace my stock coils (as my 5100's are set a 2.5). I'm looking between eibachs and 885's. Both are about the same price at wheelers. I've also looked at 886's (which i know are way stiff without a bumper and/or winch). Looked at 887's, eibach has an HD version of the springs that gives 2.5" of lift with 5100's set at 0. Input from anyone is appreciated, I'm basically just asking jeremy how he likes his set up. Thanks guys.

 

I'm going 887's. I've heard that the 886's shouldn't be used with 5100s. I know i've seen people run it but they aren't really valved properly for them supposedly.

 

Yeah, i heard that they are really stiff, but i haven't heard that. But my search has me pretty much looking at 885's, 887's, and the eibach HD's

 

I thought about going eibachs but I figured I'd go OME so I can go to 886's if I end up with a full plate bumper and winch.

 

So the only thing with the eibachs I have, is you dont want to go to the 2.5 setting with them. I have mine set to the last from the top (I forget what height that is) and I wouldnt go any higher. When i lifted them from the .85 setting to the one they're at now, I was pretty nervous releasing the spring because of how tight it looked but I told myself after 4 years of driving on them im sure itll be ok (my thought process was they were worn in haha). Having said all that, they'e served me really well and although I probably should have replaced my shocks by now seeing as how they have over 50k on them, with that spring/shock combo I have had no issues with my shocks either (ive replaced both rear shocks due to blown seals already). That bumper on my front end isnt too heavy either and Im not putting a winch or anything on there so the set up has worked great for me. Hope that helps a little.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

 

Thanks man. You have yours set at 1.75. They say these HD's give 2.5" so i figure i can run them on my 5100's set a 0 and move the 1/4" top plate spacer i have on the drivers side (for taco lean) to the passenger's side and pua 3/8, spacer on the driver's side to get a full 3" up front.

 

Had to be lengthened so we cut it and put a tube on the inside of the shaft and welded it to length

 

I have put 21k on my 886s and 5100's. Run a full armor.

 

Good day

 

I don't have armor.

What did you break?

 

Wheel bearing, cv axle, and the bedside

That is one hell of a deal..... @11TRDTX

 

I wish, it won't fit my truck. It's a 12-15 style. I have an 11.

 

What's one year?

 

All the difference

 

Hopefully ordering suspension next week
