anyone using Eibach front coils for 3" lift?

[zanderman]

just saw on toytec that they have a new coil for a front lift, the Eibach 620lb coil. does anyone know if this coil is any good? better that OME?

IF you look at their site then you will notice the Ultimate kit with Bilstein Coil Overs that have the Eibach springs. My All-pro coil overs also have the Eibach springs and they ride very nice.

My ToyTec coilovers use Eibach coils. They are 600# springrate. It looks like the OME coils are 550# springrate but are shorter than the coilover coils. The length does make a difference. A standard length coil that is 620# may be a little stiff. I would give them a call and see what their reviews are. While rock crawling I wish I had the 550# coils. The 600# coils do handle better on road.

so for a more stiff, rocky ride and higher ride height the eibach's will be better?
does 600# mean they will be a talller spring than the 550#? and will landcruiser coils go well with them?

I am running the Bilstein Coil Overs/ Eibach springs with the FZJ 80 LC coils in rear and they are a good combination. I have been happy with them for the two years they have been on my truck.

Not necessarily taller, just stiffer.

I think the best thing to do is call ToyTec and discuss your needs and rig. I think the 620 coil is for rigs with heavy bumpers, winch and skids.

You are referring to this coil correct?

Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

Were you planning on buying shocks with them, or using your original shocks? They work well with the height adjustable 5100's.

Front Bilstein Height adjustable front 5100 shocks - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

Then get some 5125's to run with your LC coils and you will have a nice set up.

Pikeman, What type of numbers are you seeing when you measure from the ground to the wheel well?

 

[Pikeman]

Well I have bald tires (285/75/16) but currently have 39" all the way around. That is with my sliders, heavy rear bumper w/ swing away, and of course my ODL front bumper.

My 2.0 sway away's use eibach coils. Most shock companies buy their springs from somewhere. its a 13x650 2.5

I plan on getting this exact setup. But I'm not familiar with what you mean by 5125's. It's probably a stupid question but what is that?
