Post lift pics

Yep still have the stock uca's
Shims cant hurt, $10 to help line up the drive line, I think it may be a good idea. I want to get them just havent done it yet.

 

I got the shims when i got the lift, but didnt buy the u-bolts haha. I got the U-bolts today, but i'm ordering rear shocks on the 30th so im going to do it all at once.

 

Nice, Did you get Bilstein 5125's?

 

I was originally debating between 5100/5150 and decided to go with 5100 - but didnt even look at 5125's..whats the difference between 5100/5125?

 

5125's are rear 5100's that are for up to 2" lift in the back.

 

Oh so i have to get the 5125's?

5100's would be like running the OEM billys, just a little beter ride?

 

I'm a bit fuzzy on this because some retail websites are different when you put in your vehicle info. some say rear 5100 and some say rear5125

 

Silverback, I just read another thread that contained advice from you..

"The OME are longer and designed for the OME springs. Also, the rear 5100's just aren't long enough for a 3" lift. You can get the shock extender ($10) but I wouldn't go that route. You can get the 5125's but you'll need an adapter at the top mount for it. "

"Bilstein rep told me that with a 3" lift the limiting factor would be the shock."

I installed the 2" AAL from toytech, but it looks pretty damn level with the front 3" lift, if not even a tad higher. Chris4x4 says hes running 5100s in the rear with the 2" of lift and hasn't had any problems..Should I go with the 5125's with adapters just to be safe?

 

What setting do you have your billies set on?
