Bilstein 5100s at 1.75!

I’m doing the same thing this week. Hope mine looks that good!

 

I'm doing 5100's and planning on setting at 1.75" (3rd notch). I want a slight rake (like stock) or almost level. I'm a DCSB 2015

I currently have .75 - 1" rake (Front ~21 and rear ~21.75) stock.
The AAL I'm putting in the rear says it will gain 1.5-2 inches.
I'm concerned that 1.75 won't be enough front lift if I get 2" from the AAL. If I don't do the AAL it will definitely ride nose high.

If I get a full 1.75 front and a full 2" rear I should have 1" of forward rake. Is that too much? If I took the overload spring out how much would it lower the rear?

Other option is to go to a full 2.5 on the fronts (which I'm nervous about for ride and adjustment)

 

My eyes are now bleeding from reading all the way through, but we’ll worth it for the information and testimonials. At 121k frame finally got the ok to replace. Took the opportunity to go with the billies @ 1.75 and Eibach 1 inch block in rear with TSB leafs. Sits damn near level and drives like it did before with a lifted feeling. I’m no longer feeling like I’m sliding out of my seat!! Worried about putting cap on and sagging so most likely going with Dakar’s eventually. But after leaving stock for 30k miles, I’m just staring at her thinking what to do next.

edit: I’m running Falken wildpeak A/T 265/70/17 on TRD 4 Runner rims

 

Looks good

 

Might be a long shot but what wheels are those?

 

They are OEM, they came off a 2017 SR5. My favorite Toyota Wheel that I have seen.

 

They’re fantastic looking man

 

It looks to me like the 1.75 in front would be perfect for my truck. right now the front
is right at 1.5" lower than the back. Pics helped a lot thanks to all.

 

This is what I did 5 years ago. 5100's with stock Offroad springs at 3 notch up. I had the 1/4" spacer for the Taco lean but did not use (should have). Truck looked level but if you put a level on bed rail it would indicate front slightly higher (may not mean anything). With a little bit of weight (stock rear springs) it would give it a little bit of front high. Now front has sagged back to being only 1-1.25" of lift from where I started. This was done at about 60k miles and now about 125K miles. This is on a 2011 Dbl Cab Offroad. Next move will be to a www.jdfabrication.com set up.

 

Ok Thanks for the update.

 

Did you have the rear RSB done? Did you keep the stock overload? Thanks!
