Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

haha not even close haha especially being a 4 banger.

with skids, winch and dual batteirs and lots of wheeling. Yes haha

as Digirat said. they aren't adjustable with the Eibach coils. they MUST be run at the lowest setting and that right there is 3'' or more.

 

I went with new Dakar packs because my stock ones were almost negative arch. Totally pleased with them, the ride is great

 

Ya, with the 4cyl they sit pretty high. I didn't measure, but I'm guessing around 3.5.to 3.75" over stock with no additional weight on the front on mine. I have a tg bumper (which won't really help) full set of skids and sliders waiting to go on that hopefully will help some. But I'm not expecting a drastic change. I just could not pass up the deal a local gave me on this setup.

If you're worried about it an appropriately sprung OME setup may be "safer"

 

So if i wanted say 2inches would be be a good idea to get New Stock Coils and set them on the billies at what like 2.5?

 

Possibly. Its hard to recommend new stock coils tho. Have you priced them? Pretty expensive I'll bet.

A better option is probably a fully adjustable coilover like a set of SAWs. They will cost you about $750 for a set but you'll be able to dial in the exact amount of lift you want.

 

I am thinking about putting the Eibach/toytecs on my 5100s on my '97 4WD. I was told that back spacers are needed if using the stock wheels for 33s. Is this correct?

 

Wheel spacers will be needed for 33x12.5r15s. But not for 33x10.5r15s

 

These will these fit on my Tercel, right? I already bought them from Toytec since I didn't see anywhere that said they won't fit..

 

Sure you just have to cut the spring down some and they'll slide right in

 

Sweet, thank you! rep for saying i'm right.

 

+1

 

If anyone is interested in a purchase, i have the lift ready to go. both coils & 51's. bushings included, $360. pm me

 

Maybe be easier to put it in the For sale thread, get better exposure.

I'd love to buy it from you and get rid of my spacers but I'm in need of tires more than a better lift

 

Go with treadwrights and get both...

 

Thanks man! I feel ya tho

 

any 2.7 4x4 regular cabs out there??? i've searched for days through all the eibach/bilstein threads with no avail. id like to know ride quality with the 620# eibachs and any arising issues(bad vibes, alignment, etc.) thanks!

 

Probably over lift you a lot. If you don't have armor, wouldn't get them.

 

I'm a 2.7 xtra cab with 5100/eibachs. They do over lift the front. My alignment is okay camber is within spec, everything else is borderline or out of spec. I get some wandering on the highway. ride isn't bad with no sway bar, similar to a full size. But I have a tube bumper, skids and sliders. With nothing it would be harsh. With the armor I'm still around 24.5- 25" center hub to fender. Too high IMO, plus I have almost no down travel. I will be switching to softer springs soon, likely ome 881's.

If I were you I would go with ome or an adjustable coilover. The only reason I got them was because I got a bitchin deal on them, otherwise I'd have ome up front right now.

 

Just ordered some Eibach's from Wheeler's!!
