Toyota TRD OEM lift kit

You tube bilstein 5100s and look at the install videos. Everyone is putting too much thought into this and why do it when the dealer needs to install to keep the warranty. It's just rebranded Bilstein 5100s.

 

Womder if these can be paired with an eibach spring

 

I bought just the shocks because they were cheaper then 5100 all the way around and I didn't have to get the kit. I am thinking I will go with the add a leaf in the back. Just wondering if I should have bought the toyota spacers for the front or if I can buy another brand? Figure an install video might show me the install process for the spacer and add a leaf?

 

Where's you order the shocks from and how much. I was going to install eibach but the kit is 3 months backed up

 

If you read back in the posts a bit you will see where a guy posted a link to an online toyota dealer. You just have to give them your Vin number and they can send out just the parts you want. Way cheaper then buying the whole kit.

 

hey....can you please clarify this for me?.....i wasn't aware that i needed a front spacer....i bought just the shocks and i'm waiting on delivery of a rear block.....i assumed that was all i needed for the 2 / 1 lift.......no ??!!!!

 

That might be all you need. I'm not sure. I'm looking to clarify the same thing.

I am planning on using the shocks with an "add a leaf" in the rear to bring it up so I don't need the block in the rear but I'm not sure if guys are putting a BJ spacer in the front or not. I'm not sure where you would get the lift in the front without a spacer though?

Can anyone tell me if you need a front spacer?

 

No you do not need a front spacer with the TRD kit.

 

So what size tire did you end up going with? Sorry if I missed this somewhere already. Truck looks great.

 

I stuck with the 285/75r16 just used my "big brain" to find the right wheel offset to clear uca but not push it into cab mount.

 

Have you done any offroad yet? I love the look of that wheel/tire combo but I wonder if it will rub at all when it starts flexing?

 

Haven't had a chance to get it out on anything serious. My driveway is steep and long with a big dip at the bottom for street runoff (old roommate ripped off his bumper in a stock elantra). Hit it at 20 with it cranked and no issues after I pulled mud flaps... No issues in reverse either. I am getting a very very small amount of frame rub at full lock. Mark is from finger not tire

 

Did you get your shocks installed?

 

I wonder if some wheel spacers would fix that? Thanks for the info man!

 

I have not installed them yet. I still have a warranty on my drive train so I just want to make sure I don't void that if I install the shocks on my own.

 

Absolutly would fix the frame rub, but would also push them out and I would have to do cmc. If you ship me some spacers I'll let you know though please??

 

Has anyone else who installed this run into vibrations at low speed slowing down? I know this is common with these trucks after a lift, but I didn't think it would have been an issue with just the 1 inch block. Would it even be worth bringing to a dealership? With the new wheel and tire set up (heavier) it seems better, but I'm debating throwing on the stock set and seeing what they say. I doubt they would do egs or shims?

 

I got a quote from my local dealer, they wanted $1150. No mention of any bushing changes.

 

U see those 3 grooves on the front shocks? Thats what gives u the lift. 3 different lift heights depending on which groove u put the big c clip into.
Different version of the bilsteins but same design shows u here: https://youtu.be/ZOCtx6mM-u8

 

Got mine installed yesterday. Top picture is before. Also put on spidertrax wheel spacers.
