Bilstein 5100's plus Eibach coils

So I've done research and looked around plenty and I cannot find the answer to my questions. Using bilstein 5100's up front with the eibach coils, obviously I can lift it over 3+ in (depending which setting I put the billies on). If I did a differential drop, how high could I potentially go?
Considering 2.5 in with just the billies doesn't need a diff drop, could I go 3.5 in (billies plus eibach) if I used the 1 in diff drop?
If the answer is no, why not?
Also, if the answer is no, what else would need to be done in order to obtain 3.5 in or more of lift?

I do not want to hear opinions. Facts only please. Stay on subject.
Thank you!
Oh and I have a 2006 Taco Access Cab SR5 TRD 4x4 V6 automatic tranny

 

Drop bracket kit if you want to go past 3". Past 3" with 4x4 you will eat your CV boots left and right...that's if you can even get your truck back to alignment specs with stock UCA's. Even with aftermarket UCA's...3" is max you would want to go. Do a search. Diff drop do more harm then good on a 2nd Gen.

 

I have billies plus eibach/toytec coilovers and get exactly 2.5in on the 2.5 setting after about 6k miles. Idk where you heard over 3in from this setup but these are my personal numbers. (No additional weight in the front)
Hope this helps.

 

3" is for 1st gens. cuz we're bad ass like that

the most you'll get is 2.5" which is perfect to avoid the diff drop and alignment issues. you want 3" you'll have to get the top plate spacer.

 

when using eibach coils with 5100's the highest setting recommended was 2nd notch from the bottom (.85). which would give you maybe around 2.5 inches of lift. Reason behind this is the aftermarket coils are much stiffer and would otherwise damage the shock if a higher setting was used. 5100s were made to preload factory springs, not so much in the way of aftermarkets. The Proper way to get 3" of lift with bilsteins and coils is to go with OME 885 or 886 coils, use the zero setting on the shock, and then add some spacers, then Drop your differential if you get up around 3" as your angles will be too great on your cv axles.

 

Thank you nextfriday. That was what I was looking for. If I put the 5100's at .85 and got OME 885's, would the angle be too great on the cv axles even with the differential drop? No spacers of course.

 

not to piss in nextfriday's cereal, but I wouldn't recommend combining OME and bilsteins. they're not designed to work together and have completely different spring rates and valving, you'll get a stiff, jarring ride.

while the eibachs aren't exactly designed to work with bilstein, toytec has done a lot of R & D with them and sells them together for a reason.

also, OME are NOT designed to be preloaded under any circumstances, the ride will only get stiffer and you might damage the shock.

for 3" get the OME coils and shocks and a top plate....or....get eibach/5100 and top plate. either way you'll need the top plate to get to 3"

 

Diff drops are bad. Do a little research.
