Anyone install the new Eibach 1.6" lift springs

sorry to be so late but....

 

While I haven't installed it yet, I have the 1.6" Eibachs, 5100', and Toytec's 0.75" top plate spacers. I didn't want to preload the shock with the 0.85" setting, so I'm leaving it at 0" and putting in the spacer. I'm hoping it gives me a more comfortable and flexy ride while being at the same height as the 5100's on the second setting.

I haven't installed it yet because I'm saving for the back now. I plan to do 5100's with Wheeler's 3-leaf progressive AAL for 1.5" of lift.

Should be about a month. I'll post pix when it's done.

 

Which AAL the 1 1/2" or 2"?
What measurements do you have from center of wheels to the fender lips?

 

no aal, just the TSB, thinking in the future maybe a 1.5aal, but at the moment, the front and rear have settled even.
my measurements can be found in an earlier post.
Measured after the TBS and they are:
Right Rear: Ground 37.5 center 23.5
Left Rear: 37 22.75
need to find out why they are not level. Seems the right side got 1.5" but the left only 0.75" of lift.

 

How is the red paint holding up, that is a nice touch....

 

My mistake I did not look back to check.
Without the TSB and only a 2" AAL mine is.
RR 24.5" and 39"
LR 25" and 39"

 

just finished my install,

Eibach 1.6 springs with 5100's set @ .85 in the front, rear is stock with 3leaf pack. My TSB new leafs will be installed by Toyota Friday morning

Looks great, I'm really bummed I didn't have the cash for the group buy. This is the settup I'm going with, but I'll end up paying more for it...

 

i have my eibach 1.6 springs with 5100's set @ .85, what can i do to get a little more lift?

 

Add a Toytec 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer, that's about all you can do short of going with a different setup. For the 1/2" spacer you'd need to install longer studs on the spring top plates.

 

I would guess spindles but money becomes a bigger part after the set up you have.
I did put a 1/4" spacer on the drivers side and my alignment guy say's that is about it for staying in spec.

 

I also have the 5100's and the eibach springs.. I can't decide if I should set the 5100s @ 0 or .85.. I have the TSB done to the leafs in the rear, thats all.. any advice?

 

Trucks look great, you'll be happy with those coils. Must ride nice with the 5100's.

 

finally installed my eibach springs and all four 5100s yesterday.. I had the TSB done and had a wicked rake.. Now it sits pretty level and rides awesome.. I set them at 0".. very happy with them

 

Truck looks good man!

 

Just got my Eibachs today and hope to install them over the Christmas break. I will be installing them with the stock TRD OR Billies similiar to what canuck_tacoma did. I only have 8K miles on the stock shocks so I figure I will see how they ride before before I spend money on 5100s and also since the 5100s are sold out. No TSB in the rear. I will let everyone know how it turns out. The pre-install numbers on 265/75R16s from the ground are:
Front
Driver 34 1/2"
Passenger 34 3/4"
Rear
Driver 37"
Passenger 37 1/4"

 

im thinking about getting a set of eibachs when i get my OME Dakar rear leafs, because of how much lift they will give me... what kind of problems will i have? do i need to get a drop kit for the front? and i know ill need a carrier bearing drop for the rear, extended brake lines... yada yada...

 

Hey sorry for the delay in response,

yes I did have TSB done and it looks great. I don’t think I will need an AAL unless I add a 1/4 or 1/2 spacer up front as I’m just running eibach 1.6 with 5100's @ .85. I still have a slight rake in the rear. I will post some new pics later today when I get my truck back.

Some idiot backed into me in a parking lot when I was in the store! The only damage done was to my bumper. The person actually left their insurance info under my windshield wiper, so the new bumper is being installed now.

 

man, that sucks. so you are already getting a factory replacement. you should have gone aftermarket. that is what happened to me. someone hit and ran me though. lucky for me i have good insurance and was covered. i just went with a cbi offroad bumper. it was actually cheaper than replacing it with a stock one, and 10 times stronger.

 

what did the CBI bumper run ya? i love the look of that
