    Just installed Eibach coils with my Bilstein 5100 shocks on the middle setting with 35x12.50 tires. For those who have run this set up before, what is your fender height and how much did this lift your truck?

    I originally had the bilsteins set on the tallest setting but wanted to go for a true 3” of front lift to balance out the rear. Unfortunately, I never owned the truck stock and have no idea how close I am to a 3” lift. The back still sits a little tall (rear suspension: old man emu springs, Ride Rite air bags). Thanks in advance

    When measuring lift height, you need to measure from the center of the wheel (the hub) to the bottom of the fender...

    The Eibach pro truck springs are supposed to lift 0-2", and the 5100's on the middle setting are supposed to lift 1.6" I believe... so with those combined, you might be looking at around 3" of lift, maybe more.

    Here are two links to peoples measurements for stock ride height, again, they measure hub to fender.

    https://www.tundras.com/threads/true-ride-height.18407/#post-428896

    The measurements I believe should be around:
    FP: 21.75"
    FD: 21.5"
    RP: 24.25"
    RD: 24"

    Whatever you do don’t jump on the black wheel fad.

    Those wheels look awesome!

    You could color match the door handles and mirror caps to get rid of some of the hideous black.

    Fad? Black wheels make any car look better. I don’t have them or necessarily want them but there’s no denying it
