Bilstein 5100 / Eibach Gallery

Yes. adding an AAL to a sagging leaf pack is a temp fix, eventually they will sag again- but you're good for a few years while you build up the funds to get a replacement pack.

 

thanks Cody.

That's a good way to look at it.

 

It's what I'm doing

Wheeling it probably didnt help it though

 

ill be sure to measure mine for ya too.

 

lol I hear ya.

I just ordered my lift. Yay!

 

Lol do you want pic of the receipt? Lol

 

ok guys so ive been looking at doing this for a while. right now i have a leveling spacer from fatbobs garadge in the front and 2in blocksin the back. Oh and the bilstein 5100 all the way arround. The rear leafs are frowning so i fliped the thick overload leaf at the bottom to help support the spring. so doing that gave me some rake in the back around 3 in. So my question is will adding the eibach coils up front bring me back to about level. ill post a pic here in a bit of how it sits now.

 

I'd replace the leaf pack with the eibachs

 

Here are some pics also i forgot to metion that i have 2in body lift on there too.

the measurment on the back is 27 1/2 in
the front is 24 1/2 in

this is measured from center hub to fender.

 

id like to do that but i cant afford to do them both. for now i can live with the leafs as they are cuz i would like to get the front leveled out first.

 

That's what my front measured today, so 24 1/2" plus your 2" body lift would be 26 1/2", your back would only be 1" higher (not too bad, just throw a few sand bags in the bed)

 

No those measurments are including the body lift. so with no body lift the front would be at 22 1/2. im dealing with a 3in difference from the front to the back (back being taller).

 

You would get 3+ for the front, so the eibachs would level you out

 

Great thats exactly what im looking for so i can level it out and get rid of the spacers. so how does this affect the alignment? does it still keep it in spec or atleast close to it.

 

I know, I'm saying that with Eibachs, you would measure close to 26 1/2" in the front (with body lift, and 24 1/2" without) your rear is 27 1/2" (with) and would measure 25 1/2" (without)

 

I would get it realigned. It won't be exact, but close enough.

 

yea sorry i guess i miss understood what you were sayin but yea that exactly what im going for. eventually when the funds are good i would like to get some new UCA's and a diff drop to finish off the front end.

 

I would do the diff drop when you put the coils on, nothing to it and its cheap.

 

How's the ride with those overload leafs flipped, isn't it kinda harsh? I've read where others have ended up having broken leafs after flipping the overload. If you don't offroad it much, you might be OK. I would think that you eliminated most of the flex in back.
