3" lift out of eibachs & 5100s

I didn't have the TSB done on my truck. I got a 2" Toytec AAL, and the 5100's all around with the Eibach spring at 0.85 on the front (plus 1/4" taco lean spacer on drivers side). I have 265/70-17 tires and pre install the front of my truck was at 35" measured through the hub. Back was at 37" through the hub. At the moment the front is at 37.25" and the rear is at 39.25" and it will hopefully settle a bit in the back when I tow my dirt bike and such. It sounds like I would have a lot of rake, but I think it looks good the way it is. You can tell there is rake, but it's not a lot.

 

Looks like I need to do some measuring to see where I stand right now... Thanks for the info man!!

 

sounds about right. with my 285/70s im at 40ish up front and just a little more in the rear. the guys over at wheelers told me to get the .5 spacer run the billys at .85 with the eibach and use the camburg uca's. stoked should work and get a better ride than this procrap lift.

 

The 1/4" driver side spacer fits no problem. If you use a 1/2" spacer you will have to get extended studs...learned this from outlaw7. He has this setup with 285s.

 

Ok, stock #s were Drivers Front (34.25") Passenger Front (34.50") Drivers Rear (36.06") Passenger Rear (36.375") and now with the eibachs and 5100s at .85 with 1/4" driver side spacer: Drivers Front (37.25") Passenger Front (37.50") Drivers Rear (37.75") Passenger Rear (38") Same size tires in both scenarios.

 

And I really think all i will have to do to fit 285s is remove the front mudflaps and trim the black fender liner nipple thing in front of the tire. There won't be any flexing this truck anyway...too old and too poor to be tearing shit up. We'll see how it goes....Damn I aint ever gonna wear out these BFG AT's! Proly gonna get 70k out of em.

 

op, thank u for taking the time to measure that out. much appreciated

 

Def man 4x4 makes a difference, I have the Eibachs on my stock billys and I only got about an 1" of lift.

 

So I prolly would get any additional lift going from 5100's @ 1.75 to Eibach springs and 5100's at .85??

 

Well, like I said mine is a double cab 4x4 short box, and with a full tank of gas and after settling it is at 2 1/4" of lift. I was going to go with the 1.75 setting on the 5100's with the stock spring but heard it was rough, so I went with new springs also as they were only $145 from Toytec...it's up to you, but I really appreciate the extra 1/2" of lift I got from the eibach springs at the 0.85 setting. Honestly, I think the 5100's at 1.75 combined with a 1.5 Toytec AAL would look really fresh if your just looking for a bit of lift...up to you.

 

The lift you get will be minimal but the Eibachs spring make a big differance in the handling of the truck. When my stock billys wear out I will be installing 5100's at the .85 setting with my Eibachs.

 

I agree. The ride difference is huge compared to stock. I have to take my truck back to get my alignment dialed in better, but on a ride last night the thing handles like a dream...no more bouncy/ floating ride.
