Who's running wheeler's T1 and T12 coils?

[jminz]

I think I've decided on T1 front coils with a 13mm spacer, and T12s in the rear, with 5100s. This will give me 2.5" in front and 1.5" in rear according to Dan at Wheelers. I haven't found much on these coils with a search. Anybody have any input on this setup?

Haha I was hoping at least one person was running this set up.

I have the T12 rear coils. They're good i like them. I think they're originally Sway-A-way springs that were re-branded by wheelers after Sway a way dropped the line. Manufactured by Eibach I believe. It rides nice, not too stiff. I have them paired with 5160 bilsteins.

I don't think anyone is getting 1.5" out of those springs. They're all hoping to get to 1.5" after the springs settle for a bit. 2" of lift is what I've been hearing about from the T12s.

Keep us posted if you do it. I'm considering this setup also, replacing my XREAS with the T1/T12 & 5100's.

I have T12s with OME883 up front. My rear height measurement is 24.5 from hub center to wheel arch trim. You can compare that to your current measurements for an idea of what to expect. I have 10,000 miles on mine and am pleased with their performance, a bit of lift with a stock like feel.

Thanks for providing the measurement, I am thinking about getting these as well. Now we can have a hard number to compare.

Do you have a pic you could share? And what size tire are you running? Thanks

acceptable flex with 5100's

I don't see the 883s for sale on wheelers site anymore. We're they replaced with 884s?

OME 883's are under the -2002 4runner section. They fit 4th gens too.

Also under the 05-14 Tacoma section.
I bought these for the same reason I got the t12s, they provide lift with about a 10% rate increase only.

Do you ever tow anything? I frequently tow a 3k# boat. I wonder how bad they'll sag.

I have T12s in the rear.. Seemed to get more lift though, at least compared to the 1.5 daystar spacers I pulled out. Ride is great, felt good with 5100s and still tuning my new rear 2.5 swayaways to get it right...

What are you running up front? Did you add a shim to prevent lean?

 

[gfluff]

no spacer, not much lean in mine. I have 2.5 swayaways up front.

I've towed a utility style trailer with construction matrials only once with these springs. I kept the trailer loaded properly to keep the tongue weight down, so I did not have any dramatic sag or anything.

Im running the T1/T12 spring combo. It has a lot of rake. Has anyone run the T1 springs at the 0.85" setting on the 5100s? I am thinking about doing that to level the vehicle out a bit more. Wheelers Offroad suggests spacers for this but I dont want to move everything down to level the front.

With the V8 you could probably go up a notch and be fine.
