5100 Bilsteins, etc

This

 

I just had the rear leaf tsb done which was essentially a 3/4" aal by my measurements. Also just did 5100's at 1.75. Pretty close to level. Still seems just a touch nose high at times and seems perfectly level at others. But if you plan to run 700 lbs it will sag. I can't say for an aftermarket aal though.

Here's some pics to help you decide.

 

I have a 2011 TRD prerunner off road. I wont to do the 5100s and set them to .85 and nothing to the back. I just wont to leval the truck. Will I get an kind of vibs or shacking of the truck after doing this ? Also will I need to get new UCA?
Any help would be much appreciateed !

 

Thanks..makes sense
Hey bud, So where did you end up buying the 5100s?
Did you buy the AAL kit from here-->

 

Buy your 5100s from Downsouth. Definitely the cheapest and they're a vendor here

I wouldn't think so, I read up on the vib issues before doing mine. Seems some have had slight issues at 1.75. Haven't heard of anyone having any at .85. In fact I read a thread over on Toyota Nation where a guy had vibs at 1.75 and set it down to .85 and it stopped.

I've noticed a very very slight vib or something with mine. I can't seem to pin point it, doesn't even seem like a vib, but more like I feel the tread pattern more on the road. If that makes any sense. It's funny that before the 5100's my truck seemed to feel like it wanted to wonder around on the road and now actually drives better in that sense. Maybe my alignment was out before and now it's straight? All I know is it drives better now, I do worry about this possible vib though. It's very minimal and I'm not sure if I'm just looking for it since reading about them.

 

Thanks bud for your reply and input . Yeah it seems that right after you read somthing thats when you starte to noitice things. LOL Hey I did wont to ask you, after you did your lift did you have any problems with you VSC system? Thanks again for any input.

 

I have mine lifted to 1.75 and have the vibs and am pretty sure i need some shims but am not sure what degree. It can be pretty annoying on take off vibrating but I am just dealing with it for the time being. You will not need UCA's at 1.75 but anything about 2" you will need new UCA's to correct your alignment issues. I have had no problems with my VSC system.

 

Oh ok . Thank you ! ! Much appreciate .

 

No, haven't noticed anything with the vsc.

 

Well that is good news. I was reading some where on here that guys where having issues after installing a lift kit. So thats an issue that I can put to rest. Thanks bud for the reply.

 

I certainly don't want to lead you or anyone in the wrong direction but I personally haven't noticed any issues. But mine has only been done for a couple of weeks and I haven't messed with the vsc.

 

The Progressive replaces your entire factory Leaf pack and the Add a leaf kit is what it says its just one additional leaf to install with the leafs already on your truck.
