Bilstein 5100s.. with a different lift?

Hey guys!

I am currently running the Maxtrac RWD kit on my 2014 Tacoma. It includes a 2.5 inch strut spacer resting on stock struts, coilover and shocks. I have JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms, Moog Lowers, and the 4” Maxtrac Spindle. I have been noticing a lot of vibration and shakiness along the road; I have brand new tires and have had my suspension checked/regreased and is fine, but have not had my shocks checked. I am at 84.1k miles...

The truck just feels somewhat hard to control, sometimes it will be bumpy and others it rides smooth as can be. I also have noticed that when i wiggle the wheel, it stiffens again and fixes the issue and some of the bumpiness, but not for long. It also feels as if the tracking is off, if i dont have my hands on the truck for two seconds itll start to drift off (only at high speeds). The truck is aligned twice a year and is kept up with frequently.

This brings me to the question of can I use the adjustable bilstein 5100s with this suspension setup? And if so, am I able to adjust it to 2.5” and therefore be sitting at 9” in the front? If not, perfectly fine, I will use them to ride at stock height. While doing this, should i replace the coils too? Or will replacing the shock do the trick?

Thanks guys!

 

Vibration comes from the drive shaft since it’s lifted the angle is off as for the Bilstein 5100 it’s meant for 0-2 inches in lift so i would find a shock better fit for the lift you have
