Eibach Coils: Top Spacer Question

You don't technically "need" anything. The lift without spacers will have the "Taco Lean". Adding a 1/4" spacer to the driver's side corrects it. A 1/2" on the driver's side and a 1/4" on the passenger's side has the same leveling effect while giving a little added boost in height.

 

well were do u get the 1/2 for the passenger side they dont sell it on toytech? LOL

 

The 1/2" spacer that you would install on the "Driver side" is sold in a with 2 spacers. You would then install the 1/4" spacer on the passenger side.

 

i see.. but honestly you really dont need that 1/2 spacer correct? just the 1/4" to fix the lean, i mean 80 bucks out of my pocket for a barley any lift is outrages. id rather just pay the 20 bucks and call it a done deal

 

Correct. You want the driver's side to have 1/4" more lift than the passenger's side to correct the lean. Whether you do it 1/4" (L) and 0" (R) or 1/2" (L) and 1/4" (R), the lean will be corrected.

$80 seems like a lot for that lift but understand that you get 1.5x - 2x the amount of lift as the thickness of the spacer. On a heavier 4wd, a 1/4" spacer gives about 3/8" of lift and a 1/2" spacer gives about 3/4" of lift. On your lighter Prerunner you'll probably get closer to double the lift with the 1/4" spacer giving about 1/2" of lift and the 1/2" spacer giving about 1" of lift.

 

now that i looked i see why it will change it guess my imagination wasnt up to par yesterday should have had a v8.
OP replied to your pm

 

hmm well 1" for 80 bucks doesnt sound to bad now.. lol.. does anyone have a extra 1/2 they want to sell me? i know it comes in a pack of 2. let me know!!

 

I replied to your PM this morning. Hopefully you got it. Just let me know.

 

Outlaw, do you have new UCA's? I think if I went any higher than I am (2.5") then I would have to get a set, as my caster is already a bit lower than the ideal of 2.4 (I'm at 1.9/ 2.0) This is something that anyone looking to do this install should consider...if you go higher than the 2.5" then you will probably have to get new UCA's or have your truck be darty on the HWY.

 

This thread has helped me alot as I'm continually working on my Frankinlift of eibachs, billy's @ .85 and tsb in the back. Looks like my next purchase (next week) will be some Built Right UCA's and a 1.5" AAL, but I'm thinking I'm going to put a 1/2" spacer in the drivers and move the current 1/4" to the passenger as well. With the UCA's at some distant point in the future I would upgrade to some better coil-overs.

Some of us are in the same boat i.e. putting a lift together that seems modular and weird but I pay for it in cash as I go. I wish I could have done it all at one time and gone with sweet Kings or such, but I like to stay out of debt...

Sounds like you're heading toward my exact set up.

 

After reading your sig line that's exactly right. I am even thinking about the slimline tool box. Nice set up btw.

i just got my lift from toytec with the billies and it had 3 spacers in it looked like either 2 1/4'' spacers or 1/2'' and maybe 1/4'' spacer i just put part of it on last night and left the the thin spacer out or do i need to put it in

 

Anybody know what size bolts I will need for the driver side? I got the spacer but didn't get any bolts.

 

you might want to call them cause mine came with bolts

 

OK. I was really hoping to get my lift on next couple days.
