    I'm leaning towards 5100's all the way around, fronts set at 1.75" to level. I have a besttop shell on my TRD Sport DCSB and I believe the weight of the besttop is 45 lbs. Can anyone tell me if I'll have any bro-lean with this setup? In other words, will the 45lb besttop drop my rear end any?

    If i had to guess I would say no, 45 pounds is nothing, i put 33 40 lb. bags in the back of my trd 5 foot bed and it just sat a little under level.

    That's what my guess was as well - thanks for the reassurance!

    Hard to tell from this angle, but is your truck sitting level with the Bilsteins at .85"? 4WD or Prerunner? Thanks!

    I have a 2.25" leveling kit with 285/70 17. When I got it installed I was told that my rear springs were worn out so it sagged a little. I want to replace my shocks and struts before I address this issue, but after reading through this thread I'm confused. I've been looking at Bilstein 5100s but I'm not sure if that's the best option and am looking for advice.

    Mine w/ 5100's set to .85". Factory original 2+1 leafs. I had no problems with ride, or vibration until I put the Toytec 1/4" spacer on the driver's side. Now it has a slight vibration (barely noticeable) coming from the driver's CV axle bearing. That spacer must have been just enough to put it over the edge.

    I'm having the dealer put a new set of 5100's on set to 1.75", once my replacement frame comes in. Will also have them install the ECGS bushing to correct the vibration.

    Front bilstein 5100 with OME 884 w/trim pack, 17" fuel trophy wheels wrapped with 32" toyot open country m/t, bakflip fibermax tonneau cover, Avec 30" led light bar behind lower grille, marathon seat covers in max 5 camo pattern, trimmed front and rear mud flaps, more to come.
    If any one would like to go this way it leveled my truck to almost spot on. Originally had billy 5100 set at 1.75 on stock springs and didn't like the ride quality. I felt every bump. A week ago I put on a set of OME 884 coils with the Billy's set at zero with the driver side trim pack and it drives better than factory IMHO. Wish I would have went this route the first time. I must add I have a dcsb so the 884 might not be for your truck. If you have access cab I think u will need the 883 and if you have a dclb I think 885's. Please don't quote me but I called wheelers and they told me this setup and it leveled my truck and it gave me back my drive/ride quality. Hope this helps anyone!

    That would be a false statement. You don't need a leveling kit, if you want one, that's up to you. You can check the height difference on your truck front to back to see how much rake you have.

    To anyone wanting to level their truck, please dont get the 2.5 spacer level kit on stock coils and shocks, while it does look perfectly leveled you feell every bump in the road! Unless your into that of course

    883's in the front, which, with about 1.3", basically leveled it. But leveling isn't my end game - it's just how it happens to sit right now. 32" Dynapro's, zero rub. But had to take off the front 'flaps'.

    I have Bilstein 6112's up front set at position 2 and it gave me 1.6" of lift. Tires are 265/75-16. Parked next to a TRD Pro the other day and it's the exact same height front and back.

    Oh, and the ride is very good with this setup.

    [​IMG]

    The TRD Pro and TX Baja are level from the factory. The other TRD models are not.
