5100's @1.75 or 5100's @ .85 with Eibach/Toytec springs front lift question

I have a 2011 Access Cab and currently have the Rear TSB with a Toytec 1.5 AAL.
Up Front I have Bilstein 5100's set at 1.75 on stock springs. There is a noticble rake. I will be adding the ALL-Pro front plate bumper and was wondering If I add the Eibach/Toytec springs to the 5100's and set them at .85, will I gain any front lift over just having the 5100's on stock springs at 1.75.

I understand that I will still have a rake but hopefully less than i have now, while coming closer to a more level truck and will not have to do any major upgrades like UCA replacement.

I have searched and have not found any help on this, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but i could not find it. Thanks all

 

Anyone? I'm looking to pull the trigger on the eibachs, but seeking some guidance first.

 

Might sit level actually, eibach are stiff coils but you are an access cab and adding a front plate bumper.

 

access cabs front heavy as compared to DC's?

 

You will probably sit a little nose high actually since your only an access cab. My buddy installed the 5100's/eibach kit set at .85" up front with a 2" rear AAL and his truck sits perfectly level and hes a DCLB.

 

what size engine? 4.0?

typically the eibachs give 1.6" by themselves. add the .85" bump from the "C" clip on the shock and your very near 2.5" of lift up front. Ive researched that a plate bumper with sag the suspension around .5"-1"

By adding the eibachs w/ plate bumper I think youll be near 2" or just under. Leaving you very close to level

 

Yes, 4.0...Its a TRD TX/Pro AC
It sounds like the bilsteins set at .85 with Toytec/Eibachs is the way to go over just having Billys set at 1.75 and stock springs.

As of Now from center hub to fender I'm 21.5 front and 24 rear. with the 1.75 Bilsteins in front and TSB with 1.5 AAL in rear.

Thanks for your input so far.....

 

DC's are heavier since they are bigger trucks but not by a lot.

I also think the 5100's/Eibachs are the way to go.

 

Okay so not to thread jack, I have a 12' tacoma and I was planning on using the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks with the eibach 3" coils. Is that okay? I keep reading that those coils shouldn't be paired with aftermarket coils or spacers.

 

Hopefully my experience can help shed some light for the next Person looking to get a lift from toytec.

I have a 2013 Tacoma DC LB 4x4 and I wanted to lift my truck 3” to fit AT 285/70/17. I went with the BilsteinAdjustable lift kit with 5100 shocks from Toytec. This is what it reads on their website, I’m sure you all have seen it.

“1.5 to 3" lift kit with Eibach front coils (3" average lift isachieved with coils and setting the shock adjustment on the second C clipsetting from the bottom) DO NOT EXCEED THIS SETTING OR DAMAGE CAN OCCUR”

Double cab models may require top plate spacers for full 3" lift”

Countless hours reading threads and talking to a Rep I pull the trigger and purchase the lift with the LR UCAs. Get it all installed, I even used their, “required top plate spacers for full 3" lift” a few days later my Standard Methods and Toyo AT II come in and the back of the tire hits the cab mount? I even had my body shop trim the finders so they wouldn’t rub. The shitty part is my Liftis only 2.5”. That means I got 2” with the bilstein and another .5” with thetop plate spacer? Not even close to 3" average lift? I call Toytec and because I already installed everything I can’t return it. FML So my only solution is jacking up the C-Clip to the top and using my stock coils, That’s how my buddy got his 2013 DC LB 4x4 done at Les Scwab and he runs 285s with noproblem. Since I have the 1.5 TSB im going with a longer shock in the rear and adding a 1” block. Ill have about a little over 3” in the front and 2.5” in therear. I also installed the sway bar re-locator ad Diff Drop. I’m hoping with LR UCA I’ll be able to go over 3” in the front without any problems.

If I could suggest anything to anybody looking to fit 33” on their truck id spend the extra cash and get the ToytecUltimate Lift Kit '05+ Tacoma and the 2” tsb to keep you level so you can rake up the front shocks.

Let me know what you guys Think? Im not really into spenidng more than I have to so I can look cool and hit the snow a few times a year, I off road but nothing crazy......
