Bilstein 5100 2” lift with eibach coils

That's what she said.

 

If it's not a problem, can you snap a pic of your truck from the front with wheels straight? Want to see how much the tires sticking out.

 

The avatar checks out.

 

I see that Virginia inspection sticker @Supermario. If you're in the Tidewater area head over to the Calling all Virginians thread. We meet up for brews and BS and try to go on off-roading trips.

 

Oh they will fit> question is will you be ok with the loss of power and mpg from going up 2 sizes on tires?

 

Is there a number you can provide on the loss of power, mpg? Some kind of a formula to estimate it?

Generally going up 2 sizes (2" I tire diameter) will lose 2-3 mpg. Also depends on how aggressive of a tire is put on in terms of the tread and tire weight. As far as power loss maybe some of the members can respond as I haven't installed larger tires on my 3rd gen Tacoma as of yet but if and when I do it will likely be only 1 size bigger than stock. Either 265/75/16 or 265/70/17. Gives a similar look with less of the negatives.

 

The more i learn the more i lean towards the same solution.
Just a 2" lift and 265/75/16 tires.

 

I’ve been looking at the $799 Bilstein 5100 Eibach coil lift with the toytec AAL. Can you provide more info on what route you took? Pics?

 

I was looking at the Bilstein kit from Headstrog but unfortunately they don't provide warranty on the shocks. They say: contact the manufacturer. So I did. Apparently, Headstrong is not their authorized distributor, thus no warranty coverage .
Went with 4WP instead. Had to purchase everything separately - shocks Bilstein 5100,

$250 ARB 2887 Old Man Emu Coil Spring

ARB 2887 coils and ARB AAL. All came up to about the same $$. I have to say I love them. The truck rides noticeably softer. Today will install SCS BR6 wheels and next week - OVTune.

 

Do yourself a favor and do the 6112's. Absolutely fantastic ride with those beefy 60mm struts. I paired them with 5100's in the rear and a tapered wheeler's 1.5" block and it works very well.
