Bilstein settings

Thanks Colton.

 

you don't want it that rough but u are going to set them at 2.5....doesn't make ant sense?????????? the higher you go the rougher it gets. i have mine at 1.75 and its not rough at all.

 

didnt want to be nose high

 

i vote 1.75"

 

2.5 with 1.5 Toytec AAL & 3 leaf sukpak...285/60/18s, no rub, no vibes, no alignment issues, NO ROUGH RIDE & not nose high.

 

That is just sitting perfectly.....Functional, realistic and badass.

Hey I have the same setup

 

How does the ride compare to stock when set at 2.5?

 

excellant, this what i want....the rear is stock correct? i cant get the TSB done so i am kinda hoping i dont need a AAL. thanks and yer taco looks great.

 

x2!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just a follow up[ on this as I posted bad info before "I knew" what was up...

If you set the 5100's at 2.5 without doing a set of UCA's as well?

You will either wear out your tires in a jiffy or have bad caster and poor drivability.

Not conjecture.....Fact.

 

2.5" up front with nothin in the rear. at least til tsb:

 

sickkk^^^^^

 

thanks man

 

2.5 Bilsteins with TRD. Stock tires. I am going to get 285/70/16 though when these run down.



This picture from the angle looks nose high, plus they didnt have time to settle this was taken right after I did it. It has lowered a little as it settled. Now its just about perfect.

 

I've been thinking about getting the 5100s with the m at .84", but cant find shots of anyone who done it , with a.a.l. or not. I'm not interested in blocks in the rear, but considered salvaging a set of t.s.b. 4 springs. All that on a humble 4 cyl reg cab.

 

mine set at 2.5 with AAL for the rear. 5100s on all four corners

 

This is false! I have 5100s "0" with 885 springs my camber = 0 toe = 0 and caster is just slightly off ideal but still well within specs. My tires are not wearing faster and the truck drives straight as an arrow. Yes, it will drive better with ideal caster but caster at spec is fine at 2.5... now if you go 3" or higher then you will have wandering issues w/o new UCA.

 

Im still torn on what setting Im going to use I get mine tomorrow. I have the Toyota TSB leaf and I think Im going to go with 1.75 but only because I need to know the front wont be higher then the rear. I would hate to have to take them off and re adjust if the front were higher than the rear.

 

For all you guys running Bilsteins @ 2.5, you're using stock coils right?

 

i am
