Going to service the suspension, this is what I'm doing:

2010 Sport 4x4
-Mostly city driving but I do make it out to light trails at least every month.
-50,000 miles
-TSB for rear leafs done at 10, 000

I'm going to run bilstein 5100's set at .85 and throw in a toytec lean spacer while its apart.

-Can anyone compare the stock sport shocks to the billies?
-Anything that YOU have done as part of a suspension service that you would recommend?

I'm not looking to go "level" because I do tow and haul bikes in the back so I would like a slight rake. I'm going to order the parts soon and install it once I get a free day. I've done my homework but I'm looking to discuss any experiences YOU have had with a similar service. This is after all a "discussion board" (haha)...

Cheers!

 

The billies will be a better shock than stock... As part of the service I would highly recommend grease all the driveshaft u-joints!

 

I agree that the BLSTN 5100's ride is somewhat smoother than the Stock BLSTN TRD shocks. I would also recommend lubing everything and also torquing all nuts n bolts to the proper torque.

 

I lube the DS at each oil change, recheck the leaf spring bolts and make sure the prop shaft bolts haven't moved (since I marked them).

 

As a fellow scm member... I say go big and get coil overs. I had billies with
Ome springs and I didn't really like them. Too rough yet not enough to off road. The sway a ways I have are nice. I'm still running billies in rear with add a leaf that somehow raised my rear well over 2 inches.

 

I wish that was in the cards for me now but the objective is service the shocks and I'm hoping to get a little lift, a level (side to side) truck and reset alignment out of the work also. Maybe if someone bought by CR I would look to upgrade...

 

How much for your chad reed?
