    Ive been thinking about bilsein 5100s all around. I have been looking at the bilstein 5100 shocks as a possibility of getting my lift. Is there anything else I will need, or do I just adjust the height I want, and tremove old one to install new ones?

    Also where is the cheapest place to buy them from?

    Thanks in andvance

    Well if you want a full 3" lift you are going to need more than just the Billies. If you go with a full 3" lift you would be able to fit 285s though some light to heavy trimming may be necessary depending on how you plan to use it. With just the 5100s you will need to stick with the 265s. I guess you might be able to fit 285s if you trim a lot and set the 5100s at 2.5", but I am not positive on that one.

    I would look into the OME 885 with a spacer or 887 coils. Those will get you very close to 3". Also you will need to lift the rear, look into an AAL or a full leaf pack. Headstrong Offroad, ToyTech, and Wheelers are good places to look. Also be advised that above 2.5 you are probably going to need some aftermarket UCAs to get proper alignment.
