2.5" eibach springs

hmm i wonder what these will give me on my 4cyl

 

Wonder if I should put these on 5100's set at 1.75" and the 1/2" top plate spacer to get the desired lift. Kind of joking about that but I'll be mad when I put these on and only get 2" when they are advertiseds as 2.5" i already own these coils and the 1/2" top plate spacer just waiting to install them

 

Just ordered my eibach 2.5" springs along with a 1/4" top spacer and light racing ucas. Hopefully they come in time for install this weekend. I'm looking for the same ride height as my stock springs compressed to the 5100 top setting.

 

Ok, ive got a question since this thread is on eibach springs. Im looking at right now a set of rebuilt 2.5" Camburg branded sway a way coilovers for my 2nd gen. The shocks have been rebuilt, but i want to put new springs on. 1st, anyone know the travel of the 2nd gen sway a ways and 2nd, could I put 3.0id 14in 650lb springs on them?

 

They should be 6" travel

 

I am looking to add 2" to my '15 access cab 4wd TRD OR. I am back and forth between 884, 885 and the Eiback 2.5" lift springs. Will put them on billys up front and 2" AAL out back with billy 5125 in back. My measurements currently are, as measured in my garage yesterday, I also have about 150 lbs gear in my tool box and 1/2 tank gas. My stock rake is only 3/4" - 1-1/4". I like rake, want to keep it. Thoughts, ideas, opinions please

Driver front 20"
Pass front 20"
Driver rear 20-3/4"
Pass rear 21-1/4"

 

My thought would be to go 884. Or wait for 'yeos' to install the Eibach 2.5's. Looks like he is also Access Cab. 885 gave my double cab about 2.5"

FYI: I also needed the 1/4" spacer on driver side after 885 install. Wheelers has a cheap poly spacer I ordered for like $8.

 

Looks like my parts will come in time for this weekend. I too had been debating between 885s and these Eibach 2.5s and finally ended up just going for the Eibachs. My setup currently is 5100s up front set at 2.5" with the stock OR coils. The rear has the Wheelers 1.5" progressive AAL with non-TSB leaf setup and retaining the overload which makes it roughly 2" of lift in the rear. I have a very slight fwd rake as it sits right now and I'm hoping to retain the same stance. I'll take before and after pictures.

 

So I got the parts in and couldn't wait til the weekend to install so I installed the new springs and ucas today. Took me 5 hours total by myself in a hot garage. 1 hour of it was fighting to install the new uca bolt on the driver side with existing hard lines in the way. I forgot to take before pictures and measurements.

Took it out for a drive afterwards and the ride is definitely smoother. Not a huge difference from the 5100s at 2.5", but then again I come from driving lowered cars with stiff suspension and low pro tires. I'm gonna go get it aligned mid next week.

Current setup is Bilstein 5100s at 0 with Eibach 2.5s and 1/4" top spacer on the driver side and LR ucas. The rear remains unchanged with the Wheelers 1.5" AAL on my non-TSB leaf springs and keeping the overload. Here are some rough fender to center hub measurements. I was tired after the install and used a tape measure and 6" scale as a straight edge off of the center cap. I had just over 1/4 tank of gas and the bed practically unloaded.

Front Driver 22 1/3"
Front Passenger 22 1/2"
Rear Driver 23"
Rear Passenger 23 1/2"

 

Yeos, that sounds like you got about 2.5". Does it seem as high as the 5100's on the 2.5 setting?

 

It is just a tad higher than the 5100s at 2.5". The springs may settle after a while.

 

4cyl Prerunner access cab, I got 3" of lift
