Bilstein 5100s with eibach coils

[4runnerAzGuy]

I am installing the heavier eibach coils on my bilstein 5100s because I added an ARB bumper and winch. I was at the highest setting on the shocks before what do I set then at with th havier coils to maintain level with the added weight?

Never mind I was able to call toytec and ask them.

Care to share what you did with the rest of us?

I just set them to the 2nd one up to compensate for the weight of the bumper and winch (that's what Toytec recommended). It still looks level so everything seems good. Only problem is my ABS light is on now with the VSC. Which is weird because I didn't unplug anything.

Here's a pic even though u guys have all seen this set up before

What setting are they at? Any difference in ride? I have a steel bumper coming with the eibach/5100s and I was thinking about bumping up the 5100 but supposedly toytec advised against going past .85

you may have stretched the abs wire. thats what i did.

That's probably what happened, what's the fix for this? I'm guessing I have to replace atleast the wire, hopefully not anything more.

if you're handy with a soldering iron you can repair it fairly easily, you need to locate the damaged section with a multimeter, cut it out, and solder in good wire. took me about 1 hour to do the whole thing start to finish

I did the same thing. Bought replacement wire harness online for $55. Did the ZPC with toyota scan tool and was good to go.

Sell me the springs and buy higher rate ones.

I may just buy the replacement wire if their 55 bucks and not mess with tracking down the break in the wire

I have them on the 2nd ring from the bottom and it's still level with the bumper and winch installed. I called the guy at toytec and that is what he recommended to deal with the extra weight.

How much did the coils settle after driving for a while?
