Stock coils vs. Eibach coils with Bilstein 5100

Ive been reading a lot and can't seem to find a direct answer to what im trying to do.

I have stock coils with Bilsteins 5100 set at 2.5". I need approx. 3/4" to 1" of more lift in the front to level my truck out a bit more.

I am wondering if Eibach coils set at 0 or set at .85" will give me the approx 1" of front lift that i need.

Anyone who has any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

 

Could swap your stock coils and get 887s for the full 3" up front

Dropping your 5100's down to "zero"

 

Those are the other coils i was thinking about, just worried about them giving me too much lift in the front.

 

Could try out the 885s​

 

I have 5100's with Eibach springs up front and I have the shocks set at .85", with 5160's and All-Pro leaf springs in the back. The rear has a full 3" of lift where as the front is about 1/4" lower. It's barely noticeable in my opinion. Here's a pic for reference.

 

Thankyou, i honestly feel like my trucks stance is very similar to yours. But when i measure my fender height difference, im getting a good 7/8"-1" lower front fender.

I have General Spring 3+1 HD rear leafs with 5100 shocks, and rear heighth looks identical to yours, maybe slightly taller.

Maybe 885s, or 887s will be better for me, just hate that they arent adjustable, so if i get it wrong, ill be kicking myself

 

But from that pic it does look like Eibachs may not be enough for me..

 

You could always try something like these if you already have shocks and just want new springs and a means to adjust them.

Thats really cool! Never seen it before

 

I have only the 5100's in front and my truck sits a tad higher then back making it pretty much leveled. Not sure why your truck isnt accomplishing this with same lift as me. I have the 2015 dclb

 

What do you out in the back for a lift???

 

Interesting..never knew they had such a thing for 5100s. Well, thats definitely an option..would sure be nice to just figure out which coils i need and spend half as much though haha

 

I have General Spring 4 leafspring HD packs. With brand new stock length 5100 shocks. Quite a bit more lift than an OEM 4 pack, and a ton more than an OEM 3 pack.

Whats your rear suspension like? With how many miles? Thats why my front end is so low compared to the rear

 

I got the sport edition did not change rear at all and added off road tires so got a total of 3" lift front 1 in rear from front 5100's and rear tires. I have 2015 with dclb with 20k miles. Did the mod with 1000k hasnt changed at all the way it sits. The cost was only 350$ For the front 5100's installedplus the wheels and tires. This truck sits perfect now.

 

Nothing. The new tires added an inch overall so rear lifted about an inch. Front about 3" total with 5100's and tires. When you look at truck u see a very slight lean to rear which is exactly what i wanted. Total cost 350$ install of 5100's front

 

So you want the Compton Bro Lean?

 

What setting are the 5100's set at up front

 

How is a "slight lean to rear " comparible to a bro lean? The truck lift shop said truck is now perfectly level. Although appearence of a very slight rear lean which is odd if its a perfect level. This is exactly how every person I personally know levels their tacoma. This shop does every tacoma that same way as well and is a very reputable place where i live. To whoever asked what their set at its just below max cause they said max could comprimise the trucks existing peices and cause issues. Its been done 3 years now no issues of alignment or anything. Crown toyota dealer maintance guys compliment me every time i drop it off. I guess they just like that compton bro lean

 

So the hub measurements in front are exactly the same as the rear?

 

Dont know all i know is the lift shop took specific measurements said im sitting level. Not sure what those are since it was so long ago. Whether they are right or wrong my front sits higher now and i gained an over lift from the 5100 and upgraded a/t tires. No spacers or anything else was added. Sometimes i wish i did a lift with 4" front 2" rear to sit just a tad higher but wife has hard time as it is getting in from just the level.
