Shock question

I have a 2014 taco with stock suspension with a 1 inch leveling spacer on top … my question is I have purchased Bilstein 5100s if I use stock springs and set shock on I think the middle ring 1.33 I believe? Can I eliminate strut spacer and achieve same or close to ride height? Any answers would be appreciated thx

 

Yes. If the spacer just gave 1” of lift(means it should be 1/2” thick. Remove the spacer, fyi you can’t run them on a Bilstein 5100 anyway.

 

Well the spacer is 1 inch so I guess it’s 2 inch leveling spacer then I just want to have same ride height so which ring to put 5100 on the last ring? And I’ve seen a lot of spacers on top of 5100s might not be right but I’ve seen it but thx if you know what to set ring on to compensate for taking out spacer

 

correct it is not correct to put a spacer on top of a 5100. If the put the clip on the top setting you’ll get approx 1.7 of lift which will darn closes. 1/4” diff or so.

 

Thx gotoman 1969 I appreciate the quick response

 

Anytime.

 

So you should have 3 choices on the shock. Not counting the lowest (zero lift) the first clip setting should get .85, second 1.7, 3rd 2.5. Wanted make sure I didn’t give ya the wrong info.

 

Hey thx again I’m going with 1.75 then

 

Gotoman there is a 3/4 inch block under sway bar connector I’m assuming I leave this since I’m still raising with shock?
