Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

How are your CV axle angles? Really shouldn't have Eibachs on any other level than 0

 

Here is a picture.

 

Just placed my order yesterday. Cant wait for them to get here aha suspension was long overdue for the truck...

 

Hmm, that's odd. I was expecting it to be horrible. Maybe the coils settled a lot

 

same... think my angles are worse on stock coils at 2.5. That is the 620lb coil isnt it?

 

Should be, I have 5100s and eibachs and it rides super stiff. Looking for other options if my bumper doesn't smooth out the ride

 

oops. i was asking him if they were the 620 coils.

 

That "should be" in my post was directed towards your questions. Poor choice of spacing on my part ha

 

They are the Eibach 620 coils. This is an off thread question but I just bought 16x8 Method Double standards w/ 4.5" of back spacing. Should I have any trouble? The rims in the picture you saw earlier with my set up were 16". With 265/70/16 and now I want to go with 265/75/16.

 

I also have 1.25" Spidertrax Hubcentric wheel spacers

 

Fresh eibachs! Got about an inch of lift over the 20 year old stock coils and the ride is quite a bit better. Sway bar is definetly not needed. Thing corners pretty well flat without it.

 

You should have got 3" of lift

 

over stock coils at the 2.5 setting

 

Oh yea you should have cuz the top setting is at 2.25" I believe and the springs will settle

 

Just did mine a couple weeks ago. My stock struts had 171k on them so when it was all said and done I gained 4 1/2 inches in the front on the lowest setting and 2 1/2 in the back. The stocks were badly worn out and sagged really bad. So this was a nice change for sure. Although my angles even with the diff drop are pretty bad, I ordered one of those beefy ARB style front bumpers for it so that'll hopefully help a little. Sorry if the pic blows up to full size. It does that for me occasionally.

 

How did you get 4 1/2" in the front on the lowest setting? Besides having springs that are 3" tall where is the other 1 1/2" coming from. That is what I have but in the 2nd setting to get that amount of lift in the front. Plus Camburg UCA's to correct the geometry and a Diff drop too

 

He's saying from where he was with worn out original springs, not compared to factory ride height. He's probably at 3-3.5" above factory ride height.

 

Oh alright.

 

Honestly couldn't tell ya, I measured from the top of the tire to the fender flare before the lift, and it was 6 inches. After the lift it's currently 10 1/2 inches from the tire to the fender flare. Most likely it didn't lift it from factory 4 1/2 inches. The front suspension was absolutely hammered, and sagged a good amount, at least an inch or more. And it's a 2.7, and apparently this lift was for the v6 and warned about more than 3 inches of lift. So somewhere in there I gained more than 3. My guess was it only lifted it a true 3, and the other 1 1/2 was just making up for how bad my stock suspension sagged.

 

Alright guys. Please don't disown me! I'm trying to obtain a pre runner(bro-lean) look. About to put some Billy's on for sure. I don't want to lift the rear but I have too much rake as the front is lower than the rearsitting stock. Would I be better off with ebiachs? And what clip should I set them at on the Billy's? Or just get new factory coils and set them at highest clip ?
