leveling 2016 with bilstein adjustable 5100

You still running this setup? Happy? Did you ever add the rear 5100s? if so, any change or noticeable difference?

 

Sort of the same. Swapped over to TRD Pro wheels. I have not added the rears (yet?). Right after the 5100s and tires we switched over to winter fuel and my mileage took a hit. Seems to be coming back now, but I really don't drive it every day since I've been WFH since last March. I haven't put many miles on it.

I was about to buy the rears, but I bought an ARB recovery point instead. Taking my time...

Now the TRD kit is out. I may go up to the 1.5" setting on the front and install the 1" rear blocks from the TRD kit (if I can find a PN). The whole kit is way too much!

Truck seems to handle the same as it did with the stock shocks up front. No TSS issues. No odd tire wear. No vibration. Happy for now, but I really don't do any high speed offroad stuff anymore, and with the stock rear setup I don't need the 1" longer shock extension until I add lift the rear.

 

Thanks for the reply, truck looks great. I'm looking at running the 5100s at 1.55 and 1 inch block as well. Please let me know if you find that PN! What size tire are you running?

 

thanks....those are 265/75 GY Ultraterrains.

 

All your trucks are looking sick

 

Those tires are on my list as well... You happy with those? Did you go SL or E load? Appreciate the info.

 

Your truck looks awesome and pretty much exactly what I would like mine to look like from a stance perspective.

 

Thanks for the complement blaklabl and no problem sharing info MJ. This forum has helped me a lot (helped me spend money too!)

I got the SLs. I won't wheel this hard until it's older, so for now I was looking to get those Wrangler Kevlar off fast and not sacrifice road manners or mileage, but improve off road. They seemed decent in the snow this year, definitely better than the OEM tires. IMO it's an aggressive looking middle of the road tire (that's made in the US). They had to rotate 2 on the wheel when I had them mounted to the TRD Pro wheels to get them to balance without excessive weight.

Would I buy them again? Sure, so far. Very reasonably priced. Will I? We'll see in a few years. With only 5K miles and one rotation I really can't say too much about their longevity.
