I have a 2016 trd sport 4x4 double cab 6 foot bed Canadian tacoma. I just received my 5100 and I'm more confused than ever after reading this post. When I measure from center hub to the fender I have a 2 1/4 in difference between front and back. I was thinking of doing the 1.55 notch but I'm afraid I'll give me the ass low look. All I want is has close to level I can get. What would you recommend for me to achieve That?

 

Hello @HeadStrong Off-Road,

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions in this thread. Now here's more questions lol

The front of my 2017 TRD Sport DCSB truck sits 1.5" lower than the rear. I am looking to do a 2" max lift on front and 1" max lift at rear. That way I don't have to break the bank and buy new UCA's and also keep the ride comfortable/close to stock for the wife. Although, I would prefer to do less than 1" at rear.

1)Per your lift guide shock and coil selection 2017 (see attached). If I go with with the 3rd gen Bilstein 5100 24-213608 (1st notch setting) and ome885 to shoot for 2.25", how much would it settle to, 2" or less? or should I go with the ome887 to do more than a 2" front lift? I do mostly highway driving and do not have any extra weight in the back, but I do plan to go off-road once or twice a month.
2) What is my best option for the rear if I want to keep a comfortable/close to stock ride and do not wish to go over 1" inch? I am thinking a 1" block and 3rd gen Bilstein 5100, perhaps you might have something better in your catalog than 1" blocks for the rear?
3) I do want the struts/ coils assembled, do you think you can provide me a $$$ estimate of how much your package would cost.

Please let me know, so I can stop pulling my hair out trying to figure this out, lol thank you.

 

whats the main difference in puting the normal 3rd gen 5100 on all 4 corners as compared to using the extended length on the rear? any height difference or just travel?

Rear shocks do not provide lift, they only accommodate it. So the difference would be what rear lift you are going with as to which Bilstein shock would accommodate it best.

 

if i was looking for 2" give or take,

just a single aal = same as front/normal 5100?
and
3leaf progressive = extended or normal?

just curious because I see you sell a set of 4 bilsteins

when are the extended shocks necesary?

I plan on getting the front shocks and transferring my factory coils to level the truck.

I also want to replace the rears with the same shocks, 5100.. but since my goal is to level the truck, doesn't replacing the rear shocks with 5100 raise it by an inch?

Im running 5100s all around stock coils
Seems leveled to me 16x8 -10 265/75/16

 

Hello,

That looks good..

You have 5100 front and rear? Stock coils transferred to the front 5100s? And no leaf pack, block, or AAL in the rear?

 

Bone stock. 5100s on stock coils. No leafs or blocks just 5100s all around. Front @ 3rd notch

 

In other words, that's how I'm gonna look?!

 

are your rear 5100 the same as the fronts? or are they extended shocks?

 

anyone running 5100 all around with stock coils and a single aal in the back?

 

Headstrong just got a 17 DCSB OR looking for 3'' front lift I have Dakar leafs off my old 2015

 

Perfect! Anymore photos?
