Adding lift to bilstein 5100s?

Correct.

 

Thank you so much ,,, ordering now

 

Hi Marie for some reason it won't allow me to add the spacer to my cart ?

 

Awesome, let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with!

 

Made the right move with Headstrong. Marie will set you up with everything you need.

 

I just tried it and it worked for me. You need to select on the options either one pacer or a pair. Then the add to cart button will activate. Did you try that?

 

I tried that when I hit the add to cart button it does nothing ,, part number ?

 

If you want to PM me your e-mail I can send a payment request right to you and you can follow that link, which will take you to the back side of our shopping cart, and you can check out that way.

This way will probably be much easier since you are experiencing difficulties.

Sorry.

 

I have no idea how to pm you ,, sorry new to this site

 

Hi @CleanTRD - You might want to slow down a little and think this through.

If you go with 887x, you will likely get that 3" lift that you desire. But for any lift over 2.5" in front, the Bilstein 5100's might not be long enough. AND you might need aftermarket UCA's to get the proper alignment numbers.

Yesterday, with excellent guidance from Marie, I just ordered OME Coils and a pair of AAL's from @HeadStrong Off-Road. But before I ordered, I researched carefully over the past several weeks and with various sources, including MANY TW pages of information to make sure I knew exactly what I wanted, without any surprises.

My two cents of fatherly advice...

 

Ugh really ,,, that sux

 

Any solutions ? Maybe trade the truck in

 

I can't give any further advice on a three inch lift because my research into lifts was limited to 2.5" or less, the moment I learned that I needed a lot of stuff after 2.5" of lift. Anything over 2.5" would jump the expense significantly.

See my post #9477, Page 474 of this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/old-man-emu-questions-answers-pictures.258245/page-474

 

Holy crap bro, slow down. You don't have to go that far just because you're not getting the exact answers you're looking for.

1. 887 coils with Bilsteins set at 0 will give you the 3 inch lift you're looking for up front
2. You don't technically NEED anything else to make it work, but at 3 inches you're pretty much maxing out the down travel of the 5100's. Upper control arms are recommended to get alignment within spec.
3. It would probably be more cost effective to replace the rear 3 inch blocks with 2.5 inch blocks. You won't have to change the coils as the 5100's at the highest setting in front will level you out.
4. Just give me your credit card number and I'll order everything you need, plus a little something for myself for my troubles.

 

x2 on the upper control arms. This was also mentioned on the 1st page of posts. The rule of thumb on the uca's is the closer you get over the 2.5" toward the 3" mark the more necessary they become in order to get your truck back into alignment. But if you want a 3" lift and have a 4x4 this is probably going to be a necessary evil. We have some deals going on uca's if you are interested. I can pm you on those if you want.

 

So true l like the 3 inch look a lot better but it seems to screw with a lot of crap I'm probably better off just swapping out the rear block and living life like that ,,,, sniffle

 

Sure Marie send me that info il take a look to see ,,

 

The front end of @Unchained 5150 might be what you need from Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road
