Wheeler's T-12 & New T-13 Rear Lift Coils!

[MeefZah]

I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but I have a 2.5 front lift with a 1.5 rear lift using the OME 895e springs and a trim packer on the driver rear. I'm level side to side and the top of the fender is an inch higher in the rear. The springs are stiff enough that even with that heavy aftermarket sliding tray and a hundred pounds of tools I don't really see much, if any sag, definately not enough to get nose high.

Not sure how this is helpful since none of the coils you are using are the Wheelers / Eibach coils that this thread is about. The estimated 2.5" on an OME coil is likely not going to yield the same result as a estimated 2.5" coil of a different brand.

Well, I made the assumption that he might want to be more level, but is afraid of being nose high with weight in the back, so he was going to go with 2.5 in the rear to avoid that. I was merely pointing out an option to be level and not sag with some weight.

That’s is actually very helpful. I’m thinking the 895E springs will work nicely.

I just installed the wheelers springs on my 4r and I got 2" of lift in the rear. The truck still has a fair amount of rake. I have the bilsteins set at zero in the front. The ride is significantly better with less body roll and a firmer, more responsive feel. I'm running 285/70/17 dynapro atm and they did rub until I moved the inner fender liner forward.

Stock front springs with the bilsteins?

Nope. These are the 2 1/2" t1 wheeler's springs in the front.

They are the T13 coils.

They are the T13 coils.

That is a good looking combination. Can you post your hub to fender measurements front and rear? Do you have a 3rd row?

No third row seat. I'll get some measurements on it tonight.

They just haven't settled yet, then. It should end up netting you around 1.5" of lift in rear, according to Wheeler's.

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie and still researching my lift. If .85 is the least lift possible with bilstein 5100 front shock, wouldn't the 2.5" T1 combined with 5100 net 3.35" front lift?

There is a 0 setting on the 5100s. 0, .85, 1.5, 2.5 (IIRC).

Most people using 5100s in conjunction with lift coils set them at 0.

I hope that's the case but wouldn't the front also then settle, and more than the back due to weight? This is why I want more pictures after some time has passed, to make sure the truck doesn't settle all whopperjawed.

The front is 22 3/8" and the rear is 23 1/2" from center to the fender.

Your response is very much appreciated, MeefZah. I planned my whole suspension expecting 0 lift from the bilsteins. I already ordered most of the parts and I have an installation appointment on 10/30. Somehow it got into my head that the lowest setting is .85. In my panick ridden state it didn't occur to me to read the product specs :doh: Thank you for your patience in answering my question.

Total NOOB question, but have been reading endless posts, finding myself more confused and now I'm just looking for a definitive answer:

Running front 5100s at ZERO with T1 springs will lift and be level with rear 5100s with T13 springs? TIA!

Front: Bilstein 6112 @ 7/6 Rear: 5100 w/T13 springs

Here is my 4runner with freshly installed T13 rear springs. I'm 2.5'' front and 1.5'' in the rear.

In theory yes. However it seems there is some slight disparity in rear lift that people are getting. May still get some slight rake. That would be due to the coils, not the 5100s (or whatever shock/strut you use).

I'm roughly 20 hours in with this EXACT setup. So far so good! I'm liking the stiffer feel, no more nose dove or float when going around turns. I'll get to test it thoroughly this weekend when i go hit some trails.

Where the pics at Supa?
