Tundra 5100's with TRD vs. Eibach - Lift Amount??

Currently have tundra 5100's paired with TRD springs on the 2nd perch. Ide say right now I've got 2.25~2.5" lift. I just purchased some 3" eibach springs to help clear my 285's a bit better. Can anyone confirm I'll see a full 3" on the bottom perch of the 5100's? Currently I'm running no armor if that matters. And yes I've searched with no clear answer..... looking for first hand experiences

I'm on 2nd perch with eibach 3" springs. I do have a bumper and winch on now but before the winch I know I got 3"..I have 285's as well. IT was tough getting the setup in place. At the 2nd perch and with no extra weight up front it will be a stiff ride.

im on 2nd perch with the eibachs and no added weight...i even have a 1/4 top plate spacer on D side and its def not stiff, while not as soft as it would be on bottom perch, its certainly not stiff...i am around 3.5" lift in the front and love it

Anyone have pictures or fender to hub measurements of the tundra 5100/eibach on the 1st perch??

Looks like i'll leave them on the 2nd perch with the Tundra 5100's. Looking for 3" and that appears to be what i'll get with the 2nd perch and the eibachs. Hopefully I don't get to much lift :shrug:

i think the 1st perch is actually lower than stock by .25" i am also on the 2nd perch with a 1/4" top hat and have just under 3" but i have some "huskyness" -my rig is over 6000lbs

Doing some more searching, 75% of the info out there indicates to use the 2nd perch for 3" on the tundras 5100. Currently running 890's with 10mm trim packers so it should put me about even, maybe 0.5" of rake. We shall see....

Any updates? Im putting the exact same lift on this week and trying to decide whether to use the 1st or 2nd perch. Going with a 1/4 spacer on the driver side as well.

The 2nd perch with the tundra 5100's yielded me 3" lift. I had them set this way for a few days and decided to go back down to the 1st notch (2.5" lift). I felt like I was getting some vibrations at the 2nd perch. Moving them back down made the CV's much happier.
