I’d like to upgrade the front stock springs on my 05’ 4Runner v8 4wd. I currently have Bilstein 5100’s with stock springs and a 1.5” spacer. This is how the vehicle was when I bought it… but as you can see in the image there’s a dent in the spacer which looks like it was from contact with the stock UCA and it looks like the top hat might have been affected as well.
So I’d like to get rid of the spacers and replace the stock springs with something better… I see kits being sold with the Toytec/Eibach 112-620 springs for a 2.5” lift but then if I just look for the Eibach springs that fit the 4th gen 4Runner I get a different model… specifically the Eibach E30-82-073-01-20 springs for a 2.75” lift, but I haven’t found that model being used or sold with Bilstein shocks anywhere… Does anyone have any insight on this or which one is better for the Bilstein 5100’s? An alternative spring I believe would be OME 2885 springs but either way I’m hoping that would prevent the contact and make the suspension stronger. Looking for any helpful insights here on a cost effective upgrade?
