Bilstein advice .85 or 1.75?

latest pic

 

Are you 4x4? Do you have the rear leaf tsb?

 

nope and nope.prerunner.no tsb.

 

^ Awesome. I have the same truck as you, so I guess I'm going 1.75 once I get my tax return.

 

I have set at 0.85 and it leveled my 2010 out

 

i appreciate everyone’s help. I ended up ordering 5100s for both the front and rear and I've decided to go with .85 up front. I drive a lot of hwy miles and didn’t want to mess with or be worried about vibrations. i will post pics of the before and after.

 

Anyone know how to disconect the daytime running lights?

 

I was going to do that.. but then I figured God gave me a truck with them for a reason so maybe just maybe someone might see them before they hit me and brake...

 

God decided for the 2013 that you shall have the option to select "OFF" on the light stalk.

 

Today i had the Bilstein 5100s installed at the dealership. i took before and after measurements from both ground-wheel well and center of hub-wheel well as well as photos before and after. I am glad i went with .85 and not 1.75 because the .85 gave me over an inch of lift. i appreciate everyone’s advice and opinions and I am happy with the results. Let me know what you think...i was surprised by the .25 lift in the rear by only replacing the shocks but that could be when i first measured i had a full tank of gas and now i only have a quarter. i have the taco lean but dont really care about it.

After

 

that's what mine looked like.. and I ended up getting a AAL from skyjacker ( for the saggy rear) and now she looks like this V

 

its just the slope of the driveway. Backed in or on level surface it doesnt look saggy in the rear and there is still .5 rake from rear to front

 

well then that's not fair... I didn't want to lift my rear but it was just the crappy leaf pack.. but if it ever drops.. u know what to get...LOL

 

What difference do you notice in the ride/handling? How much $ to install and align?

 

so I know this isn't my thread but u can install your self and you don't need to align unless you remove the UCA and LCA.. direct replacement doesn't mess with Camber..

 

I love the look of my truck with 1.75" front 1" blocks in the rear.

Cant wait to get wheels and bigger tires some day.

Only down side to the 1.75" is it gives me a itch go 2.5"

 

my .85 makes me wanna go to 1.75...lol... so at 0.85 what size lift is that? 1 in?.. and 1.75 is 2in?.. or am I wrong?

 

Install on all 4 and alignment was $436. I already had bilsteins which came on the trd off road package so there wasn't a huge difference in upgrading to a beefier one. Biggest thing I've noticed is that the nose no longer dips when braking. The truck drivesand feels better with the nose raised. I have the itch for bigger tires but will only go with 265/75/16 bfg at.

 

Looks good man! I'm about to install 5100's up front. I'm going to set at 1.75 but I have the rear TSB. I have a set of BFG 265/75R16's in the garage waiting. I'm hoping I don't rub up front when all is said and done.
