Will this setup work????

I have an 08 dbl cab sport that has a spacer lift and an aal on it(had it when i bought it).I want to change it to billy's all around set front to 0.85,use stock springs and put a 1/2 or 1/4 spacer on top to achieve 3" of lift.My question is can i use stock springs without having to buy new ones???Any info will be greatly appreciated...

 

Yes.

 

No...dont combine lifts is what I was always told.

 

not really combining it's kinda the same as the Toytec lift just without the new springs and should be cheaper.

 

How do you figure setting the Bilstein 5100 at .85 and a 1/2" top plate spacer will give you 3" of lift?

 

The thing is im not sure thats why i need help with this.I just dont want a spacer lift anymore.

 

so would the stock coils get me 2 /12 at least

 

If you set them at 2.5 they will if not just go OME 885x coils....

 

This

 

The Bilstein 5100 has a 2.5" perch setting that is designed to give you 2.5" lift with stock coils.

Unless you get aftermarket upper control arms, going higher than 2.5" lift is not recommended.

 

Ok so will the ride improve over the spacer??

 

yes

 

Cool deal sounds good..i checked on Toytec's site and the bilstein lift is backordered..ill proberly get them from Downsouth...

 

Yes order from downsouth they offer tw discount and free shipping

 

Thanks for the imput guys i might just go ahead and get the 885's if i can find another 100.00 or so.

 

I could have sworn I saw eibachs in that paragraph somewhere. Eibachs + bilsteins @ 85 + 1/4" spacer = 3" front lift (respectively) or you could do OME coils and 1/4" spacer for 3" front lift, you might have cv issues though. Also you'll might need aftermarket UCAs for alignment, I would just go with 2.5" front lift, it gives your cv's a better angle/ less wear & tear and the alignment is a hit or miss so you might not need UCAs.

 

No. Absolutely not if your spacer is on top of the coil assembly. This is as hard as a fact as can be. The only improvement will be if your current spacer makes your shocks compress to max before uptravel stops. 2.5" setting on 5100 is very rough. The spacer feels stock.

If your spacer is a preload spacer the only difference is the 5100 shock valving. 5100 acts asa preload spacer.

 

I think im just gona go with the 5100's up front set at 0.85 with 885's and buy the rear 5100's later on.If ive read right i should be at about 2 1/2 lift.

 

885's and 5100's at 0 will give 2 1/2" lift

 

Ok ill try that...now with that will the ride improve over the spacer.
