Toytec/Eibach Coils & Bilstein 5100's

[jrebolloso]

So I just got some Toytec/Eibach Coils & Bilstein 5100's with LC 9 Wraps. Plus a 1" Toytec Body Lift.

So for the front I have the Toytec/Eibach Coils & Bilstein 5100's and for the rear I have 9 Wrap LC Coils with OME 60027 Shocks plus a Toytec One Inch Body Lift. I also picked up some almost new (8 months new) MT MTZ 285/75/16.

I plan to get an ARB up front in the very near future with a winch. Think I should get a 1/2 Inch spacer up front or better coils? Or is this good enough?

Should I get rid of the rear OME shocks (they are a bit stiff and I don't carry that much rear weight) and get Bilsteins in the rear?

Who else has this setup? Any info/input?

Any input is always greatly appreciated!

As always, Thanks!

Sounds good. I don't know the weight rating for the Toytec Eibach coils. Consult Toytec's website. If they're not designed for much front weight, I would consider trying OME 883's (100lbs front extra weight) or 882's (150lbs front weight)

Most springs take time to settle in, leafs or coils. Give it a good 500 miles before you start judging the ride. I have OME Nitrochargers, and I like them, though I have more rear weight due to my bumper. I don't know which Bilstein shock you'd want, I haven't tried them, but I usually hear Bilstein's offroad type shocks (5100, 5125, and 5150) are stiff.

Hey COB, thanks for the input. Toytec's site says the Toytec/Eibach Coils are 620LB? I couldn't find any info on the weight rating for OME. Do you happen to know? I'm hoping for a real nice solid lift combined with the 1" body lift to fit some new Mickey Thompson MTZ's with room to spare. I found a set of 4, eight month old, MTZ's for $400 from a dude that totaled his truck.

Thanks again!

I'm running the Toytec adjustable coilovers in the front and I have a pretty heavy tube bumper as well. Rides awesome. No issues whatsoever.

i did it Hepar. and i love the ride. now i can't decide if ARB or tube bumper? i also got 9.5 wrap LC coils in the back with some OME shocks that i'll later switch to bilstein rear shocks.

i also picked up some 8 month old 285 mickey thompson baja MTZ, $400 for all four, off some dude that just wrecked his truck. i should really start a build thread.

How much did that suspension run you for all?

What's your thoughts on each bumper? It really comes down to use and opinion there. Many great options for both out there.
