    All i really want to do is get my front end up some to get that level look. I currently just have the stock suspension on my 16' SR5 access cab 4x4 which is the front coil over hitatchi shocks and rear hitatchi shocks.
    I don't want to spend a small fortune and was wondering if i can just do the 5100's all around and use the factory front coil springs?
    What would i achieve in front lift if id put the 2nd gen 5100's on set at .85 with my stock coils
    I honestly don't know much about what would be the best thing to do, i currently have the stock 245 16" tires and want to get the 16" off road wheels with the 265/75R16 tires .. just like the looks of the front and back being level.
    Any help on suggestions is greatly appreciated
    THANKS !

    I have not done anything yet ... probably wait till summer. I am leaning towards just using the 1/2" spacers from HS to level front and then going with the p-rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 in P265/75R16 as they are only a few pounds heavier than my stock 245's. Then again if money allows i may go with the 2nd gen Bilstein 5100's all around and set the fronts at the .85 setting which should level front and give me a better ride than the stock Hitachi's on my SR5
    ... DECISIONS DESISIONS

    Hi.

    I have a 2015 DCSB O/R. Currently stock height with 17" TRD Pro 4Runner Wheels. I'm looking for a decent 3" lift/level. Not sure what I all need. Would welcome your opinion. Thanks.
