Another Bilstein 5100 Ques

I have an o8 acces cab sr5 trd off road tacoma and i was thinking about putting 4 bilstein 5100's all the way around with 265/75/16 BFG Mud Terrain KM2 tires what settings would i need to level the truck while giving it a bit of lift?front and rear

 

also..whats the part number of the Bilstein shock to be used?

 

TSB rear and 1.75 up front.

or

1.5 AAL and 2.5 up front.

 

Or 0 up front with eibtech coils. and 2" Toytec AAL

 

That'd be more than factory rake.

 

He said he wanted alittle bit of lift. Setting it at 1.75 will only level the truck.

 

front: 5100s .85 with eibach coils diff drop kit
eibach coils give you 1.6 on a 2nd gen
Rear: aal or new springs
my brother has this and he was still in spec for alignment
you will have about 2.25'' lift after it settles

I don't think you will like your 5100 set any higher than .85

 

Your risking damage setting them higer then 0

 

Arent they designed to set them higher given you compress the coils to do so and loose down travel.

If he intends to wheel his truck a lot he should buy a good lift kit rather than try to put one together on a smaller budget.

 

He said that he wants to level the truck. Setting it at 1.75 with the ~0.5 inch lift from the TSB is about level. If more lift is wanted, then 2.5 with the 1.5 AAL will be closest to level.

Setting the 5100s at 0.85 with the Eibach coils is safe. Many, many people run that set up. It's not advised to go over 0 with OME coils because they are longer.

 

Finish of that sentence is level the truck "and give it alittle bit of lift."

 

Sorry for the confusion guys i just would like to level the truck,what setting should i run in the front and back with the above mention truck

 

Do what he said^ 1.75 up front possible rear blocks if you dont want to spend to much on the rear or AAL

 

Ill get a pic of my brothers level truck with a bit of a lift.
2.45 lift in the front
1.5 lift in the back

 

u cant adjust the back shocks, just the front. Lift the back with aal, blocks, or leaf pack.

 

Rear blisten 5100's can go up an inch.

 

u r right, my bad. Is that something new as of this year. I don't remember my brothers rear shocks being adjustable, toytec said he had to have the 1.5 aal to lift the truck the shocks alone would not do it. I was told that he could lift his truck up to 2'' then he would have to go with a longer shock 5125.

 

Have no idea. When I was looking at blisten a whole set came up and said front 0-2.5 and rear 0-1 probably new.

 

The rear 5100s can be adjusted? News to me if they can. I was under the impression that the 0-1" was the amount of lift they can be used with to allow enough travel. Anything more, you'd have to go to a longer shock to get enough down travel.

 

Can i not just leave the rear at 0 and set the fronts at 1.75 to level the truck
