2020 dclb bilstein 5100 question

Bottom right of the pic says 5th clip not recommended for double cab 6’ bed; that’s what you have- DCLB. 5’ bed is short bed.

 

What coils do you recommend with those 5100? I’ve heard 884 and 897...? I’m confused. Plan on adding 80lbs to the front

 

You can just use the coils that came on your truck. You swap them over to the new 5100s

 

DCLB IMO go with 4th setting front aal rear you will have close to factory rake. I’m right there 1.25”. I e measured stock off-roads rake was about 1.5/8” just my 2cents
Little comparison for you black stock off-road and my off-road

 

Thanks for the input and pics guys! I’ll go 4th setting with stock coils and rear aal at 1.5?

 

that works. Will lift truck 1.5” with factory rake

 

Perfect

 

Hell Yeah great ride a little stiffer but in a good way. Definitely post pics when done

 

Applies to 4×2 DCLB,

 

That’s what I was thinking. Mine is a 4x4 dclb

 

I don’t believe you ever mentioned that, unless I missed it, sorry

 

The silver is mine, on the 4th with a one inch block with a slight rake, the gray one is on the 5th with a one inch rear block, dead level.

 

Looking good

 

Hard to tell in person but the settings between the 4 and 5 is so small. My son wanted it level with no rake but if you add 500 pounds it is nose high, put 500 in mine and it's level.

 

wow thats nice... Def will do on the 4th. I dont want to go higher and have to deal with other things... Is it necessary to do front diff drop on the 4th setting?

 

no. No diff drop

 

I would say so. I did them both to put it back in spec. It drives perfect, no issues. Try it without a diff drop. It's easy to install but I strongly suggest you use it.

 

diff drop at 2” is not needed, and pointless. You’ll literally be giving up the lift you JUST installed by lowering the front diff back down. If you lifted 4-6”, then the diff drop is more reasonable but you really shouldn’t go over 2.5” of lift on a 4x4.

 

Not always true there buddy, but thanks for the advise. But like I said you may need it or you may not. Drive it and see.

 

I also did diff drop carrier bearing drop and I’m at 1.5” front lift better to safe then sorry. Also have my ecg kit ready just in case. No vibes what so ever.
