taco 5100 and eibach coils

[spenedwrds]

I have a set of tacoma 5100 and a set of toytec/eibach coils. And pairing them with a set of 8 wraps which will give me about 4 inches of lift. I was wandering what setting to put my 5100 on to level the truck as much as possible?? Mine is a 2wd . Is there anyway I can get close to 4 inch in the front since I don't have CVs?

thanks!

The 112-620 coils?

You are going to want to set the c-clip on the bottom setting. If you put it on any of the other settings you will get too much lift. The springs are designed to give 3" of lift by themselves. If you pre-load them on one of the higher settings you'll get a lot more lift and run into problems with your cv's, ball joints, etc.

You could be a guinea pig and try it on the 2nd setting. I'm willing to bet it rides super stiff and will give you problems.

im a 2wd so i dont have to worry about my CVs. would it hurt my ball joints?

No input??? I needa few answer. Search bar hasnt helped so im askimg you all.

It could potentially hurt your ball joints. Also, if it gives you too much lift your shock could be fully extended all the time which will not only ride like crap, but could damage the shock.

Ok. So how could i level those 8 wraps out. I domt want a big rake

I don't think anyone has tried it on the 2nd setting. I know that on the 2nd setting it will lift the 4th gens 3". But they are a bit heavier.

Like I said, you could be a guinea pig if you want to try it out.

I would suggest going with top plate spacers instead though. Good luck! Be sure to post what you end up doing.

I'll probably just put them on the 2nd setting

Cool. Like I said, post up some pics once you have them installed!
