Bilstein 5100s

Where can I find the best deal for my 2005 Tacoma 4x4,thanks,saw a set on Amazon but I dont know if I can find cheaper somewhere else,or ifbyou guys can reccomend a set .

 

If you want them really cheap and you're patient, just keep an eye out for some on here. They pop usually a couple times a month from people upgrading. You've got to be quick though, because they sell really fast.

Wheelers is about $25 shipping but no tax, DSM is free shipping but since you're in CA, tax is about $30 for the 4.

 

eBay

 

Wheelers was cheapest when I was looking last summer. Had no problems with them either...so you can't go wrong.

 

And what should they be set at to level the front fenders to the rear fenders? Thank You!!!

 

Some guys have them set to 1.75", and are level. Mine are set to 1.75", and I'm a little nose high (By about a half inch). I prevoiusly had mine set to.85", and had 1 inch of rake (1 inch higher in the rear) which is what I prefer.

 

Your truck if non tsb springs probably .85 in front.

 

Thank You Fits235.

 

Just noticed u have grill guard and winch.Most likely you will go with 1.75''.

 

Do you think the weight of that will have that much difference?

 

To get an idea, take measurements front, and back from the center of the hub to bottom of the fender. @ 1.75" most guys get +/- 2" without any extra weight. I'm not sure how much of a weight difference you have up front, but you will likely need 1.75" setting to level.

Disclaimer: Vibrations from front driver's side differential have been experienced by many who have lifted to 1.75" or above. This can be remedied by the ECGS bushing.

 

Ok that helps.

 

what are you hub to fender measurements at the front wheels and what are they at the rear?

 

I will measure that tomorrow, And I will let you know.

 

Thanks for the replies, I have been looking at you tube for hours, not sure if I will attempt the change, but I plan on using the 5100s instead of my original plan to have Sears install Monroes,found a set for $370,but after looking at my front suspension i remembered Les Schwab did a leveling on It years ago, so im confused if I can take out the block they put in and adjust the 5100s or keep that block In too.I have a ase mechanic friend so im sure I will use him for help

Edit,,, that downsouth website is cheaper then I found thanks!

 

One last question,thinking about changing the coil springs too,any recommendations to match the Bilsteins?

 

Front is 18 inches from center of hub to fender, Rear is 22 inch from center of hub to fender.
