Need help choosing front shocks with Wheelers T1 coils
Purchased the T1's the other day and am looking for front shocks. I called Wheeler's and they stated that either Tacoma or 4Runner shocks will net me 3 inches of lift, which I doubt. As I understand these are Eibach #620 coils and are considerably longer than my 99 talls. I plan to build a tube bumper for the front so there will be #100 extra weight up front in the next few months, but even then I prefer a soft ride, even offroad.


tldr: Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner Bilstein 5100's with #620 Eibach coils?

T1s and 5100s here, seems like about 3” unless someone else looks at this and tells me im way off.



Ride is very nice but my only comparison was with trash struts and RC spacers.

4runner 5100s, bottom perch

Rides great but again, when i bought the 4R it had crap struts and spacers so that is my only comparison in this vehicle. Its significantly softer than the previous setup but not so much that i feel like it gives too much at all.
