    Sorry, didn't answer your question, hilux.
    I'm planning on doing. 85 on the 5100's.
    Stock height rear, about an inch to level in the front.

    Haha! Funny cuz my wife asked me what I wanted to do to it... after telling her everything, she nicely asked "why do you need new wheels and tires when they are already new?" (great question, btw)
    I gave her my reason and she had a confused look on her face and said, "ok, cool." :rofl:
    Coolest wife on earth.

    BTW, I like your old school Toyota jump in your avatar!

    HAHA, sounds like a VERY familiar convo!

    And thanks man! I wondered if any "old school" Toyota owners would get that reference!

    I wanted all my shocks to be the same quality. Plus it's a self diagnosed OCD thing (army for 23 years). LOL. Honestly, the ride is so much better with having all 5100s. For another $150 it was well worth it. Couldn't beat it since everything including the install was less then $600.

    Hey guys, has anyone just leveled out the front (with Bilstein 5100s) and left the back stock, then got some bigger/wider AT tires? If so, wondering how the ride is, is it heightened? Any issues? Can you post pics if so, thanks!

    I went up to 265/70/17. I thinks it's the perfect size with the leveling with 5100s set a .85

    Mine are set at 2.5 with 265/70/17 Bfg Ko2 and the ride is surprisingly good. My 05 had the same set up as first and that was really stiff.

    You can't set Bilsteins at 1.75 in the rear because they aren't adjustable coil overs, they are just shocks. To achieve lift in the rear is by leafs or blocks regardless of shock.

    Setting your front 5100s at 2.5 in the front is asking for trouble and you'll definitely need UCAs. You would be much better going with OME coils and 5100s set at 0 up front if you want to go higher than .85. I've done 1.75 on stock coils. I don't care what anyone says, your alignment will be out of spec without aftermarket UCAs on a 2016. I had my LCA cams at the max and still had positive camber. You could see it visually like this \\ //.2.5 only compounds the issue. If you plan on 1.75 or 2.5 you'll need to get UCAs otherwise you're going to burn through tires and your truck will ride like shit and wander on the highways.

    2.5 on a 2015 is 2.5.
    2.5 on a 2016 is actually 3.5 because the coils on 2016 are 1" higher than previous year.
