Eibach 3" Springs & LC 7 Wraps

[Jason_M]

I'm planning on running the Eibach 3" lift springs on my 99 4runner with LC 7 wraps in the rear (as the title states). It looks like the bilstein 5100 won't be adjustable on the front with these coils. Can anybody recommend a decent set of front and rear shocks for the coil setup I'm planning on using. I won't be running any aftermarket bumpers anytime soon.

Im not sure about the front, but for the back you could run the stock LC Tokicos. I had them with 7 wraps and liked them.

Just because you shouldn't go higher than the 1st perch on the front with those coils doesn't mean they're not awesome front shocks. I run that exact setup but with 8 wraps and I couldn't be happier. I vote bilsteins all the way around.

3 questions...
Would the bilsteins for the rear be for a LC or 4runner?
Part number?
will the Eibachs provide an extremely harsh ride?

Do you have a picture of your setup?

X2 I have the same setup and I love the ride. Bilstiens are the way to go

Thanks for the input. Once I get it all together I'll post some before and after pictures.

I went to this website Toyota Tundra 1999-2006 2wd & 4wd Bilstein 5100 Series Ride Height Adjustable to order the bilstein setup and they informed me that the rear shock for the tundra use a 12mm ID bushing and the 4runner uses a 3/4" ID bushing. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? are these shocks direct bolt ons or do I need to do something goofy? Thanks in advance.

There is a thread on here somewhere showing how to press those bushings out and the 4runner size in.

You would need to get 3/4" lower bushings to run those rear shocks.

I just ordered the 5100 for the front and 5125 for the back. Hope it works out. Can't wait to get it and out it all together.
