    Yamaha,

    You still running the factory coils and shocks? Any way you could post what your measurement is from the center of the hub to the fender? How is your ride?


    Thanks!

    from the center of my hub to the fender is about 23.5 inches if that sounds right, i believe i did it right haha, and yea I'm running stock everything besides spindle and an aal for the back.
    the ride is back to stock so much better, i always told myself my spacer wasn't that bad of a ride but now that i got the spindle WOW lol now i remember wat it rode like wen i first got her. only problem is i rub my front fender now at full lock so i gotta do a little trimming

    to come!
    I'll be ordering some of these hopefully by the end of this month! But they won't be going on for a while, not until I get some wheels and tires.

    So I can run my stock suspension up front, and put some billies 5100 in the rear with a 2" tsb AAL?

    Looks great, just a bit of lean but not bad. Maybe another leaf for that extra " and you'd be there. I like that side exit :)

    I finally finished the lift install. Gonna get alignment tomorrow. But I have the ABS and Traction lights on!
    Tried resetting battery...still there! :( anyone else have their lights come on after install? I'm sure the sensors are connected, maybe at some point it tugged too hard on cable? I dunno...might have dealer look at it next week when I go in for oil change

    Gonna check on them in the morning. Also after some searching it's seems that the ABS wire that comes down might have been damaged. Seems possible, I remember it's would get taught removing parts and the stock brackets would pinch the wires. People have got if after lifts...Might have to see if I can pull a code or just check both for continuity and rebuild them

    so my brother recieved his eibach's today. I was kinda jealous because I still have my stock coils and bilstein's at 1.75". It got me thinking..."What if I get some and go down to .85 on my 5100's.." On my 30 min drive to work today, I was thinking "What if I can have a better ride with that setup?" hah... I don't want to lose any height though....thoughts?

    that'll lower my front even more...my ass is higher right now...no bueno for me...
    from what i've read, the eibach and 5100's at 0" will give a 1-1.3" lift at most for DC's...

    exactly an inch...i guess the 1.6" is for an access cab. I could be wrong...i've read so many different threads and they all say different things...only thing is to waste money on eibach's and see for myself...i do not wish to go any lower than 26.5" in the front though...

    I believe that eibach's and 5100's at .85 will give you 2.5". I've talked to a few guys running this and they seem to love the setup, they said the ride is great. Keep in mind though, I was also told that eibach does not recommend pre-loading their springs.
