1 inch block with bilstein 5100s set to 2.5 inches in front ?

Let me know what you guys think

 

It’ll ride like ass, setting the 5100s that high will preload the stock coils too much. Just get OME coils to save yourself the headache and achieve a better ride overall.

 

I thought about doing the same thing man, I have a 3 inch Toytec Spacer lift and i don't want to loose height because it looks damn good but I'm going off road more and I'm going to break something if I don't change from the stock struts to the 5100s so I'm going to leave in the 3/4s spacers it came with and take the 3 inch block out and going with 885s i think it was I was told. I love the way my truck sets now and I hope I don't loose any height changing.

 

This is what I was told about going to 5100s from the 3 inch Toytec I have now.

If you reuse the stock tophats then you’re good, since it looks like you have extended studs already. You want 885s for 2.5 lift and then use those 1/2 spacers for 3in lift when you get UCAs.

 

Yeah your truck looks clean man. Good idea to replace the spacer lift for off Roading.

 

I just hope I don't loose my height when I switch, because I love the way it is now.

 

Why go 885's when you can go 887's and not use any spacers. You will get the 3 inches of lift from the spring, and then install new UCA's for better alignment.

 

Then get some OME 887's with those 5100's and you won't lose what you have

 

5100s, 887 springs, UCAs, aal in the rear with rear 5100s... easy and relatively affordable.

 

Exactly how I did it.

 

Looks great!
5100s and 887s are supposed to give 2.75" in the front, a good AAL or 3 leaf pack will add 1.5"-2" in the rear, adding bumpers and racks will affect this of course.

 

With no weight in the front? 887 would be good?

 

I don't have any weight in the front

 

@EatSleepTacos can you chime in. Good question

 

I was just reading with the guy I've been talking about and your right he said go with the 887s and ditch the spacer your right thanks. What size tires are you running?

 

265/70/17

 

Did you just do an AAL in the rear?

 

Yup 887's up front on 5100's with JBA Standard High Caster UCA's and in the back an ICON 3 Leaf Progressive AAL with ICON 2.0 shocks

 

I already have a Toytec AAL in the rear no problems with it so was thinking about just leaving it alone and just doing the Billy's in the back and being done. If it isn't enough lift then I'll add it in later just hope I'm not leaning but I don't think I should if you look at the picture of my truck it's about like yours.

 

I have 887 with billys all around and I am fighting vibes
