GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I'm only 2wd but hey that may help. Thanks!

 

No problem. You are only wanting to increase them by one "notch" setting correct? Cause if so I don't think it would be that bad.

 

eh i think im going with the middle notch. Noway in hell am i going to the top notch but i'm debating between .85 and 1.75 and right now 1.75 is winning.

 

If you are just trying to get rid of the rubbing, I would just bump them up to .85" but that's just me.

 

My thought was yea go with the .85 but once i get new tires i would hate to have to re adjust it because the .85 wasnt enough. I figure going with the 1.75 I could get the clearance now and with new tires and never worry about it again. Im also reading about Eibach springs now and put the bilsteins at .85 for the same results. Do you know anything about the Eibachs?

 

Oh lol totally forgot to mention I was using Eibach coils with the 5100s at .85". The ride was pretty decent. Way better than stock anyways.

 

How do the Eibach coils work because i've been looking at them on Amazon.com and they all say they lower the vehicle by an inch or two? This is probably a stupid question i know.

 

Lower? No that isn't right lol. Call the guys at DSM. That is who I ordered my parts through and they will be able to give you the best advice for your situation. The Eibach coils you need have a spring rate of #600 I believe so they definitely aren't going to lower your rig.

 

lol aight thanks, I mean if you just google the springs and start researching. all that comes up is eibach springs that lower. Thanks man.

 

The Eibach coils are longer than stock ones. The coil itself provides the lift (1.6" lift).

The Eibach coil is the middle one and the stock coil is the right one.



Edit: The left one is OME 885x, if you're wondering.

 

Will the OME 885 do the exact same as the Eibach coil and lift 1.6"?

 

The OME 885 coils will provide about 2.5" lift without top plate. A lot of people use OME 885 coils with a top plate to get a full 3" lift. Eibach coils are also a little stiffer

 

eh not going for the 3" lol. By just adjusting my bilsteins to .85 or 1.75 would i be able to just keep my stock spring and be fine? Keep in mind i have maxtrac spindles already on.

 

Yes you could!!! Your not added lift just leveling it, plus your spindles handle your lift by it selfs.

 

So you have the 4inch spindles? I have considered the same thing but I would be adding 4 more inches of lift to to my ome 3 inch I already have

 

Alright Chris heres you a curve ball question. Right now I have 2.5" blocks with stock springs in the back. The front is slightly higher than the rear and only I can really see it. With my billies set at 1.75 its going to be extremely noticeable and I want it back to level. The front should "technically" have 5.75 inches of lift on it with the spindles and bilsteins. What should I do to the back? New leaf pack? 4" block? 1.5 AAL?

 

Yes i Have the four inch spindles and If you look at the Maxtrac spindles thread you can see alot of people who have done countless setups for their front end and im sure ive seen the OME 3" lift with the spindles. But you should check it out.

 

Could someone such as my self who has a baja swap out my stock coil for OME 886 if I needed the ability to support more weight? Is that even possible?

 

I have talked to some of the guys on he maxtrac thread and we all concluded it would be 7 inches in the front. Big lift! An I would be 4 inches off in the rear. So it would be 7 in front 3 in back. I am considering it but I got to figure out what to do with the rear end lift

 

Not without a longer shock. Your stock shock will not be set up for the longer coil. I believe I'm right any one can confirm for me?
