Bilstein 5100

First post. So seems most people seem to agree bilstein 5100 is the way to go. I have a 2014 tacoma and just want to man it up. I don't do much offloading but like the look of a lifted tacoma. Where do I find a bilstein 5100 coil over kit? If you have used on your taco please post some pics.

 

5100's are a great entry level lift. If you're not into wheeling, they will most likely serve your purpose. Pics set @2.5"inbound.

Billies @2.5" and 1.5" progressive AAL.
Welcome to TW.
Check out the vendors section, loads of good deals in there.

 

What about simply adding spacers?

 

Chris are those 285s in that pic?

 

Spacers have poor ride quality.

 

Yessir. So tiny.
And stop changing your avatar, it's throwing me off.

 

Toyteclifts.com has them, and great service too. Do your research here on driveline vibrations that happen after lifting. Just want you to know what you're getting into. You may want to do rear axle shims at the same time.

your thoughts on these or other recommendations is greatly appreciated.

 

Either one is a good option for a budget lift. My vote would go with the OME lift.

 

5100s are a great way to go. All that comes in the kit is the replacement shocks and spring seats. There are a few different height options, but its the best way to level the truck out without breaking the bank


I would call around before ordering, the 5100 has been on backorder for a couple months now. We sell them at 200 a set here with code TWCM, although we are out of stock for a few more weeks - http://shop.totalautomotiveperforma...lstein-5100-front/24239370pair/i-1998037.aspx

 

Tirerack has them for $168.00 right now.

 

I hate when people do that...

 

Yes but do they HAVE them? Bilstein doesnt, they might tho as they have a huge warehouse. I got 202 a set from them, whats the code you are using? 168 would be a STEAL on those!!!

 

They have them, delivered them wed, and actually they were only $156, just looked at my receipt

 

You are talking about the rears then @ 78 each. The fronts are 202 on their site

Dang thought I found a new wholesale source!

 

You beat me to it, yes I just bought the rr for now, damn... sorry

 

Headstrong off-road has them. Price is cheap also

 

I just ordered a full set from DSM for 320, will be here on monday

 

That's as cheap as ive seen too...

 

The store I manage has a ton in stock. Just got a huge shipment of 5100's in. PM me if you're interested.
