    I think in a couple of weeks I’m gonna pull it apart again and put it on the second. It only gave me a 1 1/2” lift. I’d ideally like 2-2 1/2” but she’ll be okay for now

    Curious what the difference between Eibach shocks and 5100s are. This is always a guessing game when mixing parts.

    Well even my local Toyota dealership suggested the Eibach springs with the 5100s because I was looking to get new oem ones but they wanted 300$ each. Yeah no. So I did some research and everything I found about Eibach and 5100s was good. They went together very well. I took her around the block and it’s night and day with the feel of her front suspension. It rides very nice. It will be going out to the desert on Saturday so I’ll report back to share how it handled that as well with pictures of course.

    Good thing is you know how to DIY. Now you are getting her dialed in using Baseline Technique to see what works and doesn’t for you.

    I’m very glad I am Mechanically inclined and have most of the tools to work on my stuff. Most definitely. See what I like and go from there :)
