Tundra 5100's and Eibach coils

[97moneypit]

I just bought some tundra bilstein 5100's and eibach coils to go with my lc 8 wraps and lc rancho rs5000's. The question I have is if I put the eibachs on the first perch on the 5100's will I have a lot of rake? Could I go to the second perch or would It ride too harsh?

I have that same setup and I'll get you some measurements when I get out of the tire shop unless someone else beats me to it. I had my tundra springs (sold) on the 2nd from bottom perch with my tundra trd springs and I believe my truck sit higher than the eibachs on the bottom perch.

I've got Tundra 5100s on the second notch and Toytec Eibachs. I measure 23 1/2" from the center of the hub to the fender. My ride is not too harsh. It is firm, but not too firm.

Thanks, do you think the second notch would be a better match with the 8 wraps?

I'm not sure, but what you can do is get your floor jack and jack under the front cross member until you measure at about 23 1/2" hub to fender and see how it compares to the back. What is your rear measurement now?

Okay I'll try that, I haven't installed the 8 wraps yet I'm doing everything on Saturday.

I have Tundra 5100s with Eibach silvers set on the 2nd perch with 8 wraps out back. My measurements are around 39.25" ground to fender in the front and 40.5 out back. It looks great. And it rides fine on the second perch. Before the eibachs I had Tundra TRD springs set on the 3rd perch and with the Eibachs on the 2nd I still gained a little height and the ride is better.

im running my eibachs on the first pertch, i did this after blowing out both of my 5100s -granted the guy who adjusted them for me, batched the job so im a little gun shy. i just put in a top hat spacer and called it good. im running 8 wraps in the back and have 1/2-3/4" rake, so when i load up the runner moderately it sits about level.
