Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Oh ok, I see. So it is settled then lol. Doesn't look like the front sits too much higher than the rear.

 

It's basically level. The All Pro standard leafs give about 4", and I have probably 100lbs of crap in the bed there.

 

I didn't settle for crap. maybe an 1/8" or even a 1/4" but it stayed pretty much the same and I'm a V6. I think these coils would love a heavier bumper to curb the stiffness of a 620lb spring rate

 

They most certainly do. Maybe settle isn't the right word, but break in might be a more fitting description. I know they were sure stiff when the local member I got them from installed them this June (also a 4cyl). After a few thousand miles they broke in and softened up.

 

I really like those Rims, i need to get rid of my heavy steel ones, not to get off topic, but do you think they would work on my 1997 Taco, with the manual locking Hubs?

 

I don't see why not as long as they have your lug pattern. They're not badly priced either. I think I picked them up for right under $500 with free shipping.

 

yeah those prices are great! I assume my truck would like them, since they are lighter then steel cragars i have now

 

Where is a good place to get a set?

 

Setting up my cart about to order these on Toytec and my total is 712!!? IS this what everyone else paid? Holy Hell! does anyone sell these cheaper?

This is a link to my cart:
https://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/checkout_one.asp

 

Link isn't working for me, what's in your cart?

 

Wait till tomorrow and call them. They knocked off a little for me when I placed my order. Also be sure to use the TW discount. Search for the current code, I'm not sure what it is

 

Also what exactly is in your cart?

 

Idk why the link isn't working. My cart is the 5100's front and back, Ebiachs, diff drop, Add A Leaf, and a axle shim. shipping is crazy expensive to tho

 

Try DSM for the 5100's, the free shipping helps

And as suggested, the TW discount at Toytec helps out too. Definitely call.

 

Shameless poser shots so I can finally join the party

 

Your truck looks awesome! That's the exact same setup I want once my funds allow it. The 33x10.5s look like the perfect size for our trucks

 

My thoughts exactly, only thing I would maybe want to add are rims that stick out just a half inch or so more. But that won't be for awhile. The 10.5"s have a barely noticeable power loss, only really noticeable with a heavy foot off the line.

 

Looks great! Did you use a AAL??

 

And i know the billies are adjustable but does that mean i could adjust them to say 2inches of lift instead of 3 inches?? My truck being a 4cycle I'm afraid to go the full 3 inches and put more strain on her, or would i be ok?

 

Depends on which coils you will be using. If you go with toytec eibach coils, then no, you will not be able to limit your lift to 2". However, if you reuse you stock coils you could probably get 2" of lift by setting the purch on the 5100s to the highest setting.

Do yo have a winch in that bumper? Are you running aftermarket skids? Your bumper is definitely heavier than stock but by itself, probably not heavy enough to make the Eibach/5100 combo sag down to 2" when set on the lowest setting.
