3rd Gen Bilstein 5100's Now Available - In stock and Ready to Ship

I'll have to double check my alignment sheet to get specifics but over all very happy with the results.

 

Awesome, thanks! I've been on the fence with a 1.5" or 2" via 6112's and trying to avoid UCAs to address Caster/alignment issues. Truck look great btw!

 

If I order the front set that is listen on your website and posted at the beginning of the post, I should be able to make it "leveled" ?

New to this, sorry

 

It is really difficult to guarantee a particular stance since so many variables can come into play. In order to try to get the best results possible, I recommend measuring your current rake (from the center of the hub to the bottom of your fender on all 4 corners) to see exactly how much higher you sit in the back as opposed to the front. This way you will know about how high you will need to go in the front and/or rear to get you near the stance you are shooting for. Measurements should be taken on level ground in order to be as close to accurate as possible.

 

I know you cant guarantee a perfect stance, but my question is, If i buy this set you posted I dont need to buy anything else from you if i just want to set it at .85 right?

 

You wouldn't need anything else unless you wanted to get the rear shocks to match but that isn't necessary.

 

Cool thanks
Ordering it right now

 

Sounds good. If there is anything else that I can help you with, just let me know!

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road . Marie, thanks for all your help in the past. I just sent you a PM with another question. Finally making the order!

 

Just responded to the PM

 

Marie new to game. If I put 5100's all around an set front at 2" & 1" spacer in back I should be close to level or have a little rake(no bro stance). Thanks

 

It depends on how much rake you have now. If you measure your current stance (while being parked on as level ground a possible) you will get an idea of how much higher you sit in the back as opposed to the front. Then you will at least have a starting point to add the 2" to the front measurements and the 1" to the rear measurements and see about how you will sit after the lift is installed. I have seen some 3rd gens be nearly level from the factory and some be close to 2" higher in the back so measuring your Tacoma helps.

 

Marie I am 1" taller in back than front all way around. If set at 2" in front will I get any settling or should set at 1.55 and 1" block in back. Thanks

 

Those are the average after settled lift heights which means you would settle in near the 2" mark on a 4wd 4dr 2016+ Tacoma. It can depend on which way you would err. If you see more settling from the front or the rear which way would you prefer to sit should that happen, either nose high or rear high. You can also go back in and change the settings later if you wanted just a little bit more elbow grease is all.

 

Thanks! Been a big help.

 

Anytime. That is what I am here for

 

One more question do I need to add a differential drop?

 

That depends on your after lifted angles. Whenever you lift the truck it is always good to familiarize yourself with your factory angles to so you know what may need to be corrected in order to prevent any premature ware, vibrations, etc.

 

So it sounds like you're the person to go to with questions. I plan on ordering a lift from you but with all the research I've done I can't figure out the advantage or if I need the extended rear Bilstein 5100's. I plan on ordering the 5100's front and rear with OME 87's then doing a AAL. Thanks in advance

 

IF you are not running any rear lift then you do not need the Bilsteins. However most people prefer the ride from the 5100's over stock so that is one thing to consider. Others want the shocks to match all the way around and some people want to know that all of the shocks on the truck were installed at the same time for maintenance/replacement.
