Headstrong off road bilstein 5100 ome coils lift kit group buy

sub'd

 

I just ordered the Bilstein 5100 kit from Headstrong and am very excited.

Coil selection: 884x coils
Front Diff Drop 4x4: No diff drop needed
Light Racing UCAs: No UCAs needed
Strut Assembly: Include Strut Assembly (+$90)

I didn't get the discount, but it is still a great price.

 

Headstrong is great! Having a lift installed and the shop called asking me questions. Spoke to Headstrong and they walked me through everything. Excited to see the results!

 

Very happy with the results. Truck drives so much smoother. Was really surprised.

 

I would like to see pics when you get a chance

 

After I install it, I'll post some pics.

 

Here is a picture after the install. I love the way it handles and I would do this again in a heart beat. I also love the way the truck sits. This was the exact stance I was looking for. Below are the numbers from a quick tape measure from ground to fender.

Thanks for the pic. Looks great!

 

Hey guys, any chance we can still get in on this? I contacted Headtrong just a moment ago and couldn't get the price down from $1062 for the full kit with ucas and assembly.
My shocks are done at 108k, need something ASAP.

 

If you talked to Headstrong and they said no, then no. Maybe I don't understand the question...The group buy pricing is all set by the vendor, so it would be entirely up to HS if they wanted to give you any kind of deal. If you are not happy with their price, you could try Wheelers or ToyTech. I doubt the price will be any better though.

 

Looks great, this is what I will do when I do it

 

Hey guys, hopefully you all might be able to help.

I got in on this group buy and had the lift kit installed by a local 4x4 shop. At the same time, had a set of new wheels and tires which I bought through discount tire. I only drive my truck on the weekends, so I have probably less than 500 miles on the setup. At the same time I had the lift kit installed, had the truck aligned.

Ever since I had this kit installed, my truck has always pulled to the right. This past weekend, I got so sick of it, I went to Firestone and they had the truck aligned again. I was told that the left alignment was off which was corrected. They did say that I'm front right tire was not round though.

After the alignment, I went to discount tire and they said nothing was wrong with my tires. But, after a couple trials, they switched my front right tire to my left rear tire. I still have a pull to the right, but it is no where near as bad. I spoke with the lift kit installed this weekend and all he could think is wrong with the truck is either the tires or the wheels. The wheels are also brand new Toyota Baja feaux bead locks.


My main question, is could I have a pull in the truck from something that the lift installers did? Just trying to think of any possibilities.

 

Yes

Yes

 

I'm going to call headstrong tomorrow to see if they might have any ideas as well. New tire is supposed to come in this week, but I am not getting my hopes up at the moment.

The issue is likely your alignment.
Heres a good link for you to check out. Do some reading and ask questions.

Damn this crap is confusing now, ha ha.

Based on the link, it seems that the alignment was never properly done when I had originally had the lift kit installed, as I have always had a slight pull?

 

Finally got mine installed!! Love it!

 

Very nice Vandal. What kit did you go with and what size tires?

 

Thanks! I got the bilstein 5100 bundle kit with OME 887 springs. Tires are 285/75/16 duratracs.

 

hey vandal I just ordered the exact same set up, hows it handle? Did you install the diff drop or no? looks sweet!
