Questions on Bilstein 5100s

Hey alll, i have a 13' trd sport compeletly stock mechanically. I purchased it with 32k and now at 95k. Its time for me to dump some money into her. The harsh winters on Cape Cod rusted my suspension.. However at 95k and with the shape their in im surprised. The ride isn't bad, no sag either.

Due to a sidewall blowout yesterday from a stump i bit the bullet and bought new Atturo Trail Blade XT LT255/75/r70 and SSW Off-Road 17x9 -25 wheels. Should arrive Wednesday.

Been looking at the Bilstein 5100s and would like to do the fully assembled front end lift.

I live in Tampa, FL now so im looking for a smooth on-road ride while occasionally beach cruising and light trail riding (Sand/Mud).

My question is what exactly do i need and also what clip setting should i order to make the front level with the rear?(ex. OME 1.5", OME 2") I really am not looking to do any blocks in the rear. Just simply swap the rear shocks and later leaf springs.. That said if the front end is .5"-1" higher than the rear i do not care for the time being.

Here is the link to the kit ive been looking at -> https://www.suspensionlifts.com/sho...rear-5100-shocks-for-2005-2015-toyota-tacoma/

Any help would be appreciated! Looking forward to falling in love with my Taco again

 

The amount of lift per clip setting should be in the install guide, you can look up the instructions on bilsteins website. However, those clip positions are based off of the OEM springs. The OME springs are all made for the bottom clip position. Even says so on the website you linked. As your OE springs look just fine, there is no need to replace them unless you really want to.

If you don't want to install the 5100 fronts yourself, ask a local shop to order and install, or order them yourself and find a shop that will install your purchase. Same for rear 5100s if you want to go with them before changing leaf springs if going that route.
For convenience, make sure the shop does alignments too, as a realign is needed after raising the front.
I can't speak to second Gen stock rake from personal experience, but raising it beyond an inch setting may make it run nose high at present.
