    It was actually very stable.....I checked it before I pulled the tire off. I still wouldn't recommend it....I got myself some larger stands.

    The Eibach website has a Dealer look up, you can use them with 5100's.

    Could these springs AND the bilstein 5100's be purchased already assembled at 0" preload position so that no spring compressor is needed? I just want to level out the front end not really lift the truck.

    Is the spring rate same between the ones that you buy directly from eibach or the ones that toytec sells in their coilover kit? I'm referring to the silver ones

    For those of you who are interested in mid lifts....there is a Group Buy for these setups on this web site. Look under Toytech's. If we get enough buyers, we can save some money.

    If you pm the contact, he will give you the specifics for your truck. Very helpful.

    Worth looking into.

    I am debating between these and the 883's...what's the difference in weight and length between the Eibachs and 883's?

    Welcome to TW! You cant use lift springs with lift spacers.

    Chris,

    You mean coil spacers right? a small top plate spacer (to correct lean, et..) would be ok from what i've read.

    Also, i 'm guessing your gonna know ;) , What would the increase in spring rate be for the eibachs with 5100s set at .85 (vs. set at 0). Thank you.
    :)

    Daytime shot of the Truck with new coils, rear TSB, and BFG 265/75/16's. This is the way these should roll off the factory floor.

    Looks great. Since my taco is beyond the warranty for the TSB on the rear. What would be an option for leveling the rear with the front if the Eibachs are put on the front. Would the TSB on the rear be worth paying for?

    you can just get an aal (add a leaf) or a block for the rear to level it off with the front.

    no, no, no. the dealer charges just under 1800 for this job! go with some aftermarket full leaf packs or aal's

    toytec 1/4" or 1/2" top plate spacers. they yield from about 1/2" to 3/4" lift respectively
