RevTek to Bilstein

I currently have a RevTek 3" Lift Kit with the spacers in the front and AAl's in the back. I want to get into more offroading and have had these for a few years and think its time I stop demanding so much out of the springs. I am wondering if someone can help me with what I need to get to remove the spacers from the front but keep a 3" lift. I was thinking of getting Bilstein 5100s, 885 coils and not sure if I need spacers or coilovers or what to keep the 3" lift. If someone can help me with what I would need to get to transition from RevTek to the bilstein 5100s and a 3" lift and what I need to get versus what I already have with the Revtek that would be awesome. Thanks!

 

Def get rid of your spacers if you can afford too. Thats my setup is 5100's with 885's up front with the top plate spacer and I have a full 3"s of lift and quite a few people are running that setup as well. But to get your alignment back in specs you will need aftermarket UCA's.

 

Was also looking at this and not sure if I need more...:

Thanks DeeKay21! I will look into aftermarket UCA's on the forums, any that you recommend that aren't going to break the bank?

 

Thats a good kit and if you have the funds then go for it! But if you dont want to spend that much you dont need coilovers since they are adjustable and not many people adjust once they are set the height they want.

 

Most people that want to save some money go with Lightspeed UCA's but if you want something a little more bang for your buck then go with Total Chaos or Camburg's....those will cost you quite a bit though roughly around $600 a set.

 

Awesome, so something like THIS (Light Racing UCA) would be enough?

 

Yup those are the ones! Remember that price is only for one side you have to get a set so for both sides so those are roughly around $400.

 

So if I am correct, I could get the following and change out the RevTek spacers (just because I dont want to buy a complete kit when I already have parts provided from the RevTek lift)

Light Racing UCA part 25480 (Pair for tacoma 07+)
Bilstein 5100 shocks with 885's in front
Top Spacer? What is this exactly - rookie question but thought I was trying to get away from spacers?

OR

Light Racing UCA part 25480 (Pair for tacoma 07+)
Bilstein 5100 with front adjustable coilover kit

EDIT: And would I need the entire kit or just the coilovers and shocks? Im a little lost...

 

The top plate spacer is just a 1/2 inch spacer to get you to the full 3"s of lift cause without them and with just the 5100's and 885's it would be around 2.5"s of lift.

You can do either of those lifts you listed up top and both would work. I'm assuming you have a lift in the rear already? Are those blocks too?

 

Ok that makes sense. Also, I have the AAL in the back I didnt use blocks.

 

Let us know what setup you go with.
