spacer lift + bilstein 5100 adj

Was wondering if i could get a 2.5" spacer lift to mount on top of the coilover, and then put a set of billstein 5100 adjustables and set them at 1.75 to get a total of 4.25" of lift?
any help or advice would be great, on a budget but can't decide how to lift it up.

 

That wont work.

What do you have, whats your budget, and how much lift do you want.

And read my sig.

already have 285/70/17 bfg at but can't decide what kinda lift a wanna do, or if i want to fork out the $ for a new set of wheels, then again wheel adapters kinda scare me

 

You can get a 3" from Toytec for $299. After that get a set of wheel spacers and mount your 285s on your stock wheels.

 

do you have any experence w/ the wheel spacers, i've heard they can break?

 

I have never heard of them breaking.

I personally don't have experience with them, but I have never heard of anybody really having a problem with 'em. I'm gonna be using them to fit 285/75 Muds on my truck in October. So we will see.

 

do you think i can clear the 285/70/17 w/ a 2.5" bilstein lift?

 

To run any 285s you will have to trim. Sure you can fit them, but trimming is necessary.

 

thanx for your help

Hope you got the cash. I have heard of guys running about 4" lift with these.

 

what about a 2.5" top plate spacer and billies set at .75" for a total of 3.25" lift, would that work?

 

Every manufacturer out there says not to run the 5100s giving any lift along with spacers.

If you want 3" of lift, a is your most economical way to go.

 

i don't understand why this wouldn't work, it seems like the best of both worlds

 

so would you recomend the billies or a top plate spacer (I can get the spacers a lot cheaper)

 

5100s.

Better ride than the spacers.

 

Ok, let me brake it down; Lift/cheap = problems!!! Look for what you really want and invest in an applicable setup...

If you want cheap, dont think more is better. A 2.25" is that, double stacking= issues. go with what is out there, do your research and you will be alright...

 

alright, I've got it down to this, top plate spacer or bilstein 5100 adj.
I've read every forum on this site and my wifes gonna kill me (too much time talking w/ you guys) I still can't decide which way to go.

06 Prerunner, little off-roading nothing serious, but i still want a good ride that will last as long as the truck will, I don't mind if it firms up a little bit.

Whatever I get the most replies about is what I'll go w/
