    Morning everyone!

    Question....Anyone have any feedback about the Avid bolt-on sliders? They're a lot less expensive than others I've seen (even with shipping costs) plus I like the fact that they're bolt-on vs. weld personally. I'm certainly not doing any serious rock-crawling with a 2WD, but do want a little something under there for protection before the Mammoth trip.

    Thanks

    Happy Friday TW! I have a 2017 sr5 2wd with rough country spacers up front for 2" of lift so I could have my 265/75/16's installed without any rubbing issues. I have already installed Billstein 5100's in the rear and want to install the front soon. The 2" spacers actually gave it about 2 3/4" of lift. Does anyone know if using the stock coils and setting the Billstein's at 2" would yield about the same result. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    It should, but compressing the spring that much is horrible. What are you trying to do.... remove the spacer and still have lift or get more lift??

    Removing the spacer. Just want to maintain the clearance for the tires.

    It should maintain the lift, but better to get new coils. Old man emu springs are what most run.

    I dont know Jack about that brand so unfortunately I have nothing to add. Just check into what gauge steel they run, just make sure they arent made of super thin wall material!

    If there is a ton of spring preload its gonna ride like hell, get proper springs, you will thank me later!

    Get OME 887 coils and set the 5100s at zero. That should get you just over 2" of lift in the front without needing to pre-load the coils.
