Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Measure from the center of the wheel hub and the lip of the fender flare. I'm sitting at around 24" or 25" but mine are adjustable coilovers from Toytec.

 

Haha you must be in a low rider, lol jk. He asked for ground to fender. Center of hub to fender is more accurate.. ground to fender I'm 40" in front and 40 1/4" in the rear

 

I think center hub to fender in the front, mine is about 24 1/2"

 

Yeah, I was telling him to measure from the center of the hub to the fender instead for that reason. I then gave him my measurement from hub to fender for comparison to what he measured until someone with the same setup posted theirs.

 

I wish I had the funds for a bumper like yours, looks real good

 

Thanks man the trail gear bumpers are one of the cheaper, but well built imo, bumpers out there. They're much cheaper than any plate bumpers.

 

:O damn well it might be more accurate from hub to fender but i dont have a tape measure with me right now but from the ground to fender on level ground in a shop im at about 37 1/2??? WTF is wrong with mine lol

 

Ok so having this set up with an AAL (2") should level out right?

Also i have some sagging on my existing leafs... would the AAL help?

Thanks

 

if they are frowning, then they are shot! an AAL will only bandage the saggy stock leaf pack, your best bet would be to get a whole new leaf pack if the funds allow and if not do like ive done in the past and will do on my truck and re-build your lstock leafs using leafs from another leaf pack...i helped trd7 re-build his and we spent under $5 doing it

 

You're running 265/75/16s right? It looks like 99prerunner is running 285/75/16s which would cause some of the difference. Also if your eibachs have settled at this point and prerunner99's hasn't completely settled there will be a slight difference there too. That's why you measure from the hub to the fender.

 

Hers is a pic... Does this look like frowning?

 

Yea i realize that will make a difference but would it be that big of a difference? and im sure they have settled but others have settled as well and they still sit around 3"...im gonna take em off sometime soon and see if maybe the isolator is fuggerd up since i didnt replace that wen i originally put the coils on and maybe I did something wrong when i seated the coils....Ill find out

Yes they are deffinatly frowning.

 

I'm not sure man, I would not worry about it until you've measured it from hub to fender to get a more accurate measurement.

 

ill go do that in a few and see what i got, but it hink it should at least be around 23-25 right?

 

Sounds good man, post it up when you get the measurements. Probably closer to 24 or 25. I'm sitting at 24 1/2" on driver's side and 25 on passenger's side. I need to lower the passenger side c/o a little more...Hopefully some more people with the eibach/5100 setup will post up their measurements as well.

 

driver side is 23 3/4

 

So What exactly does "bandage" do when AAL?

haha i don't think i can do $450 on rear leafs. And i dont have the capability to rebuild an oem replacement. *crap

 

it will temporarily fix them untill the AAL starts to sag as well, and the expos are only 359 or something like that.. but re-building them is very simple..took us about an hour and a half and that included running to the parts store. Im sure someone on here would be willing to help you out for a case of beer or something

 

That does seem a little low, even if they have settled.. Maybe if anything else, maybe add a small trim packer or even a 1/2" spacer or bump your billies up a notch and see how that works out.

 

So any heavy loading will make the aal sag faster?

So did he find someone selling leafs off of a similar year tacoma?
