What setting for bilsteins?

I am wondering what height to set my bilstein 5100s at. If anyone has a pic of bilsteins at 1.75, and 2.5 on a first gen Tacoma. What is yalls opinion looks better? I am also wondering what is the best rear lift to go with all four bilsteins.

 

i don't currently have the 5100s, but my understanding is that if you just want to level out the truck, you'll set it in the middle setting. the top setting should get you close to 2.5" which means you'll have to lift the rear about 1.5" to level it out.

there are plenty of pics floating around, you just have to search. if you see a setup you like, PM the member and they'll be glad to give you info.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

When I'm good on funds I was looking at doing the 5100s and set them at the highest setting and do the aal in the rear. seems to be the most cost efficient upgrade.

 

i set mine to 2.5 and my truck is level

 

Eric what size tires you have? Truck looks nice

 

Thanks 265/75/16

 

I think KPT has his set at 1.75 with 265 tires

This is 1ST GEN

OP when I had my 5100's I had them at the middle level and I was level, then when I got an AAL I raised them up to 2.5''

2.5'' in Front This is with 33'' tires
3'' In back


1'' Up front (Middle Setting) This is with 265/70/16
Stock in the back

 

It will depend on the coils you use. I think with OME 881's, the stock setting will still net you ~1.5 - 2".
