Bilsteins 5100

I did the 2" in front before I did the rear. Then I put in the 1/2" block in the rear to give me 1" lift. It looked a little funny with out the rear lift. Now it looks fantastic. If I were not to put anything in the rear, I think 1" in front would look perfectly level. Maybe 1 1/2" would look ok too, I dont know. But I'm sure happy that I went with 2" up front. No regrets.

Sorry, no pics as of yet!

 

I did the 4th perch, 1/4 shim on the driver's side to fix the lean, ECGS clamshell bushing, one inch rear block and have a slight rake. Looks perfect, ride is better. Did my son's truck the same way but on the 5th perch. Both ride and drive the same, some say that going higher on the clip settings makes it a harsher ride. Well I'm here to say the ride is the same, as we did the same wheel and tires.

 

Noticed significant trail performance as well.

 

What did you set your shock notch to? And from what im reading you did not add anything to rear?

 

I'll hafta look...I had everything done by my local shop. I went 5100s all the way around.

 

Front: Bilstein 5100 w/ oem spring @ 1.5” lift
Rear: OME dakar medium leaf pack

 

Assuming you went with OME dakar leaf springs due to added weight of camper top....

 

You would be absolutely correct. I’ve used so many different combos of lifts on tacomas with and without canopies. That’s the best combo IMO.

 

5100 shocks all the way around 3rd clip stock springs nothing in rear ,drives and looks 100% better

 

Dope! What size tires?

 

265/70/17

 

Looks great!!! .....any reason you went with 3rd notch? (1.1) rather than 4th notch? (1.55)
What are your measurements now front and rear from floor? Just wondering cuz my front is 35" and rear is 37" thats why im thinking of going 1.55.....

 

I thought about doing the 4th notch but didnt want to have to lift the rear just leveling it out was all i was looking for ,its level at 3rd notch but sags a little with weight in bed. i think its 36'' all around now the way it sits.
