    Your alignment guy did not do a very good job with the caster setting. Even tho you are still on stock UCAs, he should haave been able to attain +1.0 at the least.

    I'll bet it drives kinda skittish, especially at higher speeds.

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Personally I like the ride the Eibachs give. It's kinda stiff but better than worn out stock springs and shocks that I had on before. I too have heard many guys here on TW running OME coils w/ Bilstein shocks without issues. Both coils have nice longevity from what I've read. I've seen Eibachs and OME coils for sale that have been on trucks for a couple years and they are still holding up nicely.

    Now, today I did read one guy ask a question, if he should switch out his OME coils because they were starting to sagg after 3 or so years. I don't hear this kinda thing often so I would take it with a grain of salt.

    Either way I think you'll be good with either coil.

    Eibachs are coils haha

    5100s are shocks. You can pre load your stock coils with them..

    Better to get a newer beefier coil tho

    I've read through most of this thread so here is the set up I've ordered/am thinking of ordering...

    Ordered:
    Eibach Front Coils:
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/ToytecEibach-front-coil-lift-springs_p_14.html

    Bilstein 5100's Front & Rear:
    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...t-adjustable-1995-5-2004-pair-front-rear.html


    Going To Order:
    Old Man EMU Dakar Leaf Springs All-Pro Expedition Leaf Springs Question:
    1.) Will this Old Man EMU Dakar Leaf Pack work with the 5100s since it is under the 3" (max) lift for the 5100s?
    2.) Would you guys recommend Dakar over the Expos, or visa-versa?
    3.) Will I need an extended brake line from Toytec for the rear lift?
    4.) Can someone point me in the right direction for a diff drop kit?? I don't even know where to start with that :confused:
    and
    5.) I feel like with the eibach/5100 3" lift up front and the Dakar 2.25" lift in the rear I'm gonna have a bro lean..... PLEASE DON'T LET ME HAVE A BRO LEAN :( ----- will I be pretty even with this set up?


    Note I do have a canopy on except during the summer, a tool box is in my bed and I will be getting an Elite Off Road bumper from Tim in the near future.

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    I had the slightest bro lean after I added the Eibachs/ 5100's on front and DAKARS on the rear. Since you have constant weight on/ in the bed I'd recommend the DAKARS w/ the appropriate OME AAL. I would say add longer shackles because that's how I corrected my bro lean but I don't have weight in the bed constantly. Once I add a bumper and soft top I'll also add the AAL. An AAL would be the proper way to fix bro lean if you have weight in the bed constantly.

    The Eibachs, I think, give a little more than 3" of lift at first and then settle to 3" after a month or so. Either way I think your headed down the right track and will enjoy your new suspension once its all said and done.

    Holy shit, after reading 1,805 posts I am shocked how many people asked 1.) how much lift the eibach coils/5100 shocks give you in front... and 2.) why people don't run higher than the 0" stock setting on the 5100s up front

    Talk about :facepalm:
