Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks set at 2.5

SO if YOUR YOUR ON THIS THREAD IS BECAUSE YOUR NOT SURE IF YOU SHOULD SET THE BILSTEIN AT 2.5 OR YOUR PLANNING ON GET THEM. BEEN DRIVING MY SETUP FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK NOW AND GOT T SAY THE RIDE FEELS GOOD NOT THAT MUCH OF A ROUGH RIDE. I HAVE 2015 TRD OFF ROAD AND HAVE THEM SETUP AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL WITH A 1inch BLOCK IN REAR, SET ON SOME TOYO R/T. I HAVE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS ON MY ALBUM.

Go for it bro. Nice setup

 

looks good man! I really want to try the billies with 885 OME combo. maybe 1/2 spacer to get the full 3" do you know much about it by chance? or does anyone have any personal experience?

 

That's the setup I'm running. VERY pleased with the LOOK, the RIDE, and the PERFORMANCE. Far better ride quality than the original TRD OR coils. I'm doing 1/2" spacer on drivers side and 1/4" on passenger. Front sets level side to side that way. Still using stock UCA's. Great alignment numbers. Truck doesn't "hunt" or wander....runs straight. Adjustment cams close to mid point, so not even close to maxed out.

 

Wow the truck looks great! How many inches from center of the hub? Or how much lift did you get exactly wth that set up? It sounds like your getting around 3" maybe? That's surprising that you didn't have to get aftermarket UCAs

 

I never actually measured lift from hub to fender. I measured from top of tire to fender. I know the "accepted way" is hub center to fender, but I always tend to do things my own way....

From stock height to what I have now, I'm sitting 2-13/16th higher. Granted, when it was at stock height, the tires had a few less miles, so I'm just guessing 2-3/4" + or -......Long story short, It's as high as I envisioned it, and I'm pleased to no end with the ride quality and how the alignment worked out.....

 

It looks like there is still a slight rake? Just wondering because i am still deciding on 1.75 vs 2.5 setting.

 

Optical illusion....caused by slope of driveway. 885X's w/1/2" spacer in front and 2" AAL in rear sits dead level front to rear. Since that picture was taken, I've put a set of 1" blocks in the rear to get the tail higher than the front. I MAY be going back with a 1/2" block spacer instead. Back is just a little TOO high now. I'm going to wait a week or so and see if the AAL settles any before I go unbolting everything AGAIN.....

 

Oh I was talking about ops.

What are your 885x set at? 0" I have a 1.5AAl in the rear so trying to make it sit level or a slight rake but Id rather have level.

 

885's @ 0". I just walked outside (I'm @ work) and measured mid hub to fender....Front 23-1/4" both sides. Rear 24-1/8" both sides.
