Bilstein 5100 (with possible rear lift)

In all these posts above
Did any of you have to change the needle bearing?
My lift is sitting in my shop because I am pondering if I HAVE to change bearing cause all of you did.
It’s only a 2 inch with aal……..

 

I put a ECGS bushing in the front differential because the factory bearing was making noises. I have about 35000 miles on it and still silent.

 

I’ve seen both sides to it. Some do it as preventive, others don’t seem to have a problem. Or at least for awhile. Over 2” lift is where I’d probably want to have it done. At 2” or below, I might gamble with it lol. I’m gonna do 1.5” front and don’t plan to replace it (cross my fingers)

 

People actually carry stuffs in the bed?

 

Did mine when the truck had about 5k miles on it when the lift went on. I hauled a few things of some weight and never had any issue sagging in the rear but I have SUMO bump stops as well.

 

I went to my local toyota dealer to ask about these. Guy told me there are only 4 available in the country and 3 are on backorder. LOLLLL

 

Buy a one inch block, doesn't need to be a Toyota branded one.
