Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

hmm I just realized I don't have any profile shots now... guess I'll have to take some when I go back

closest to a side view that I have. center of hub/fender readins for the rear are 26.5" though, if you want to measure on your truck

 

Yea I bet he assumed you have a 2nd gen

There is no way in hell you can do that on a 1st gen and have a working truck

 

it was 1st gen. weird. he said it will give me 1.5 of lfit on the 1st setting or 3 inch on the other setting

 

Then he's confused about the numbers,those are 2nd gen measurements.
I had my eibachs installed at the highest setting by mistake...after driving like that for only a week both my cv boots blew within the month

 

Kona,

I checked your build and I have an identical front set up to yours. I noticed that you are running All Pro 1.5" shackles in addition to the Expos. Are they contributing to the rear lift? Thanks.

ps: I'm in Hilo

 

So can someone please post a photo of bilstein 5100 with the eibachs. how much lift did you get??

 

and last question. I hate to flood the forum. I am ordering the ome leaf pack with 2 1/4" lift. Will this make my truck sit to high in back. with bilstein and eibach in front

 

I'm sorry but.......^^^ ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? This whole thread is about that combination with dozens of trucks running that combo. Start on page one and scroll down!!

 

I don't remember the number, i'll have to check after work and get back.

 

lololololol i know but what i meant to ask is does anyone have the eibachs with the ome 2 and 1/4"lift.

 

Jump in the big island meet thread!

Not yet. I'm still running a stock exhaust and the shackles caused my leaf packs to rub my exhaust pipe. Over christmas I'm having a reroute done, then ill run the shackles

 

Most likely high in the front

 

Thanks. ill have an elite bumper on front so maybe it will help

 

Not much. I barely lost a 1/4" of lift with mine

 

I was about to order the bilstein set from DSM tomorrow, and they want the measurements (extended and collapsed). Since there are only these lengths 6.5", 8.5", 10", 12", 14" for the Bilstein 5125's, which would work best with a 3" rear lift (added some chevy leafs)? Or which ones has everyone else ordered?

 

If you adding chevy leafs, id put them in first and meassure before ordering shocks. You have no idea how much lift you'll get..

and there should be a few more sizes in 5125s then that..should be an 11'' and 9'' as well.

 

I'm expecting to get around a 3" lift. So what shock length would you guys usually order for that height?

 

Again..I'd wait. Nothing wrong with running without shocks. Just stay off the hwy. .

But the 8" and 9" 5125 should work

 

I'm running 10" 5150's for 4"+1.5" shackles (eventually) so a 8 or 9 should be fine

 

Whats your guys best opion with lift in rear. I am doing bilstein with eibachs, I want truck level. My leaf are done. If you had to chose what leaf pack would you do for the truck for a nice level height
