2015 Tacoma need advice on Bilstein 5100 Front Shock Coils.

Hey all,

New to the forum, but have looked through them quite a bit. I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport and right now it has a 1.5" spacer in the front to level it out. I already purchased the rear 5100s,Icon Progressive Add-a-Leaf +1.5" 51100, and SPC Light Racing UCAs - 25470. I don't have any extra weight in the front and don't plan to add anything. I was planning to get the 885 OME Coils, but I'm not sure if that is the correct choice. I want about 2.5" lift but want to make sure the truck stays level. I plan to also put bigger 285 tires on it. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thank You!

 

5100s arent the perfect choice for 2.5" lift, they really cap out of at 2". Honestly anymore than 2 runs into too many issues, the ball joint, tie rod and cv angles suck, and the ride is awful.

I'd suggest just max out the 5100s if you want and see how you like it. I personally recommend a 1" rake minimum. The rear sags easily on these trucks and if you start level, it only has sag to go down to.

 

Thanks for the info. 2" is fine with me. Would I still get the 885?

 

I've never been a fan of matching 885 to 5100s, I'd sooner just get a proper paired set. I'd spend a bit more for the 6112.

The eibachs and 5100s both run very firm when they have the big springs in them and I'm not a huge fan.

 

Would the 6112 work with what I already have?

 

Yea they bolt in, do some looking around, I just prefer them if you're spending money on 5100s and coils, a little more goes a long way. Otherwise I suggest 5100s with stock coils.

 

I'll look into it. Thanks for your help.
