    What's the best deal online for Bilstein 5100's? I'm looking to get rid of my spacers on my Sr5 4WD, I have had them for awhile and it's been a horrible ride. Can anyone point me to the best deal online for Bilstein 5100's? with coilovers preferrably. Or if you have any better suggestions around the same price range, I will look into that as well. I'm not going to be doing much offroading because I just moved to Europe. I'm just looking for a smoother ride... Though i will be lifting them a bit to fit my 285's. Thanks!

    You have no idea how long I've been looking for 5100s with coils preassembled. I'm not comfortable with the spring decrompession thing. What load coils would you recommend? I'll be doing some offroading, no crawling though. How should I achieve the rear lift to level out with the 2" setup?

    You could always try talking to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. They're highly recommended here, and from what I hear, she's awesome and the best person to talk to.

    I haven't done anything to mine yet myself.. But once I plan to, I'm gonna ask her.

    I'd also like to replace the rear as well. I have helper springs back there right now. Would 5100's on the rear work with the helper springs?

    5100`s will not help a saggy rear. Need and AAL or new spring pack.

    There are 2 different lengths of 5100's for the Tacoma. Make sure you read the part descriptions. One will work with up to 1.5" of lift, and the other is for 2" and higher IIRC.

    I think he's asking if they are compatible with the helper springs.

    Yes, they will work. See my response below.

    An AAL or helper springs don't give more travel, so standard 5100s will work.

    5125s are extended length 5100s for those who have aftermarket leaf springs with more travel than stock.

    B110s are 5100s for 4-6" lifts or those with true mid-travel rear setups - set your bump stops appropriately, these will bottom out before hitting stock bumps.

    Are we talking about down travel?

    I referred to both. 5125s will work with stock bumps, B110s won't.

    I can also recommend @HeadStrong Off-Road. I bought my 5100's with preassembled coils from them about two or three months ago. Fantastic customer service and out-the-door pricing was the best I could find.

    Hmm. Learn something new everyday. And you know what they say...

    I too have B110s. I'm not maximizing my droop yet though. I need to get my 29' lines on. Then I'll tinker. I just need this f***ing snow to stop. I'm over it.

    Hey guys. Been following for about a half year since I bought my truck and finally going to lift it a little so here I am. After reading countless posts about the Bilstein shocks/OME coils/AAL combo, just a quick question...

    I see that deal that EatSleepTacos posted and that definitely seems like the way to go. But, don't most people buy shocks all the way around and not just the front? And, with having a double cab LB, the 885's seem to make the most sense. My front currently sits 1.75 inches lower than the rear. Should I get 3" coils or 2"?
