Which Mild Lift Setup Would You Do?

[Dwest]

I have the following and love it;
Bilstein 5100's all around
Front, Toytec 112-620-P front Coil 1.6” lift, strut at 0.
Rear, Wheelers T13 1.5” lift.
Camburg UCA Ball Joint

ebadai98, Great looking truck! Are you on stock size tires? Do you have before and after measurements for the front, or do you know how much lift that coil gave you?

I know every truck is a little different and not to expect the exact same outcomes but getting a great idea of how everyone's setups have turned out is fantastic!

cortney76, I had looked into options from Dobinsons and the main difference I noticed is they use twin tube shocks vs monotube on the 5100's and Eibach. From what I've read the consensus was monotube was better. Not entirely sure why. That link you provided though is great for selecting the exact setup you want. I wish other websites were as direct. Here's your coil and what it will do, here is your shock and what it will do. Very straightforward.

That article seems to confirm what I've read here and that monotube is the way to go. Thanks for linking to that, good read.

I went with Bilstein 5100s all around with the fronts set at 0.85" with factory springs and tire size. I swapped over to factory sized BFG ATs when I put the shocks on. I love the looks, ride, and gas mileage didn't suffer because of it.

It's exactly what I wanted.

Harisnc,

Thank you for the photo! That setup looks like what I'm after. Appreciate your thoughts on the front coil. That's what I was running into as well, is people getting 2" or higher with just a coil. Not what I want.

I looked into the Eibach adjustable pro truck shocks and they are alittle more than the Bilsteins but seem to offer the same adjustment range. I'm looking at the PDF install instructions now, did you set them to the 1.6" front lift setting? To confirm, on stock coils, that netted you 1.75" front lift?

Also, do you have a part # for the 3/4" rear spring? The only one I was able to find states 1" of rear lift.

Thank you!

I used the 1.6 setting but I’m closer to 1.75 than 1.5. The rear springs are the ones from the 4th gen kit. 1/4” shorter.

Yes stock size C load KO2’s. I did not record the measurements unfortunately, but the springs were pretty dead on as advertised.

After spending hours reading the Dobinson's thread, I went with the Eibach Pro Truck Lift. It's more or less one size fits all.
