Finally got my 5100's installed today.

I bought this truck the day before Thanksgiving and it came with a 3 inch spacer lift in the front and a 2 inch block lift in the rear. It had 33x12.50x20 General Grabber X3 on Motometal 20x10 -24mm. I was getting quite a bit of rub up front when in reverse, and when in parking lots trying to turn tight to get into spots. I decided to go down in tire size, and also lift. I bought a set of SCS Matte Gunmetal 17x8.5 -10 wheels, and some Nitto Ridge Grappler 265/75/17. I ordered a set of Bilstein 5100's with OME 887 springs for the front, and a set of 5100's for the rear with a 1 inch spacer block. I had these installed today, and had my alignment done. I am happy with how it looks and drives. I think it looks much better now. I do very minimal off-roading. I just like to ride some forest service roads here in the north Georgia mountains. I just wanted 2 inches of lift out of the front springs. I saved my OEM in case I have to have them put back on with the Billy's if they sag.

Sounds like u made a smart decision to ditch the spacers and do it the right way

 

Looks great OP Congrats!! Great set up!! Have them same!! Have some fun

 

It looks like it has rake in the front, but I think it’s because I am parked on The downhill side of my driveway. Thanks guys

 

Mine does that at times also, but it is just optics. Nice truck!

 

Very nice!!

 

Looks a lot better and you have a much more functional suspension, way to do your homework

I can imagine what a Taco rides like on the street, dirt, or gravel with 20s and blocks/spacers, and I don’t want to know anyway!

 

Way to go, nice looking ride! I have a friend who is on a spacer lift, 33/12.50/18 on some wide ass rims and spacer. Didnt do his homework, but the truck looks bad ass. Long story short, it drives poor, wanders all over the road. So he is ditching the wheel spacer and doing a smaller 265/70/18. Then he will do some 5100s. His gas mileage sucks, 12 to 13!
