Bilstein 5100

I've had my share of ?'s before I started the build on my truck and I'm here to help. I'm no expert but I love the look of my truck. I went with this setup from toytec... http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks_p_132.html if that helps any. Took these pics earlier when I pu my wheels back on. I did the AAL and also did the UCA's (better for alignment). I wouldn't have done anything different. I did have to trim the cab mount and remove front mud flaps. Tire size is at 285/65/18 with 18" XD Monsters. I can take specific pictures of my lift if you need it for reference.

 

That is probably the kit I should have rolled with !
Are the shims necessary even if I kept it on the .85" on the adjustables ?
Beautiful looking driveway you have there !

 

Yes shims are there for a reason. And thanks.

 

And I went with that kit because it had everything I needed. I just had to peice everything together.

 

True !
I'll order them Shims up this weekend,
but I am more concerned about not having that lower bushing/ spacer in under the front.. good thing I'm only working a 1 KM from home this week...
I thought I read everything on these shocks haha guess Not !

 

Oh yeah.... I also had to get the sway bar relocate mounts if that matters at all.

 

Sea to Sky---looks like you got everything I'm in the process of getting. I have a 2011 TRD 4x4 Off Road DCSB, i just ordered the Pro Comp 7036 series 17s with 4.75" backspacing with som BFG AT KO2 265/70, originally wanted to get the bilstein 6112s up front with the 5160s in the rear but $$$ held me back, so now I think I'm going with the bilstein 5100s front and rear, can't decide if i should re-use my stock coils on new 5100s or if i should get OME 885s or eibachs, and not sure which setting I should go with on the front shocks, hoping you could give me some pointers, you have any pics of your rig? thanks
