    Exactly. Not worth it unless you're running a beefy skid.

    Figured out my issue going to add 2 inch extension to the 5100s and set at 2.5. Deff do the brake lines and sway bar drop. Forget about the dif drop and skid plate spacers still stuck on brake line extensions any link would be appreciated thanks guys sorry I really didn't know all that was involved even after reading all of these lift post

    Most people will say it doesn't matter for that little bit of a lift, but I did mine. I changed them out to steel braided lines from crown performance. I got front and back for a bout $160 shipped. You can get them from 0 to 7 inches over stock and they come is different colors for no extra charge.

    No, no, no, no. When someone from NJ is about to do something extremely stupid, you talk them into taking pictures and wait for the disaster to happen.

    Im looking at the Toytech Ultimate lift Kit for my 2008 TRD Sport DC, LB with tow package. Im looking at getting Bilstein 5100's, the UCA's too and a Dakar leaf pack so I can get the full 3" lift. Does this sound about right anything missing other than the rubber ? However the dealer I'm buying through recommended the Boss upgrade for an additional $160, is this just an up sell or are boss a better brand? The boss upgrade on toytech website sound pretty badass.

    I think you should call toytec and ask, they are really great guys, they will explain the difference between them and not try to up sell the boss.

    okay, i have read this hole thread and i have a question about the 5100s. this thread is telling me that they only offer a 1" down travel because they are already a maxed out strut. Im not looking for a 3 in lift, maybe around 1.5 or 2 just so i can add more weight and keep it at factory height. If i only put them at around 1 or 20 in of lift, does that allow it to have another inch or two of down travel? Alos, if i only raise it up 2 inches max, will still need new UCAs to have proper alignment?

    one more question. how much down travel do the stock shocks have and how much would i need for a comfortable ride?

    thx for any help yall can offer. love the thread.
