Billstein 5100s with an 1.5" rear block

Sorry, misunderstood the question. Yes, 1.25. I believe that's the only size spacer Spidertrax makes for Tacoma's.

 

Yep SSO bumper.

 

This is what I’m looking to accomplish also.

2-3 lift, with slight rake as I sometimes haul a few hundred pounds.

Sounds like the 5100s are the way to go.

What could will provide smoothest, factory like ride?

Should I get a diff drop kit?

And what specific AAL kit should I get?

Thanks guys!

 

I have yet to add a lift and have been researching day and night as I also want to go the 5100 route. From what I've read, 5100s set to 0 with an OME coil spring 885 (2") or 887 (2.5) or 886 (for bumper and winch). In the rear, either OME Dakar leaf pack ( medium or heavy duty) or HeadstrongOffroads 3leaf progressive AAL (with or without the preload left in). With only a 2 or so inch lift you shouldn't need a diff drop kit unless you install the lift and hear some vibe but i have read of people installing a carrier bearing drop and looks easy to install. Again, i have no hands on experience. I'm only regurgitating what I've read.

 

Good advice.

Than you.

 

I've had the 5100 setup with 887 and a 1" rear block for a few months. I love the ride, would say its comparable, if not better than stock ride. I'll probably upgrade to AAL when I get the bed rack/RTT in the near future.
