Billsteins (looking for your opinion)

Hello Forum,

I have an '08 DC Prerunner 4.0 2WD AUTO. I have about 44,000 miles on it now. My suspension mods are Timbrens for the rear & a Hellwig 990 add-a-leaf kit which added 1.5"s of lift.

THESE ARE THE SPECS:

l.f. 35.25 (thanks to ToyTec 1/4" spacer on top of l.f. strut)
r.f. 35.25

before Hellwig 990:
l.r. 36.25
r.r. 36.00

after Hellwig 990:
l.r. 37.75
r.r. 37.50

THESE ARE THE BEFORE & AFTER PICS:

I am considering buying a set of Billstein 5100's all the way around & I want to raise the front 1" but I also like the slightly raked look. Will the truck still have some rake to it after I set them @ .85? I only tow a boat about once a month & the Timbrens don't let my ass drop so I think I'll be good there. Other than that I barely carry weight at all. Also, what are the benefits (other than ride adjustment) of me going with Billstein?

P.S. Who has the best prices for the Billies?

Thanks

 

Downsouthmotorsports (DSM) has billys

As far as which is best for a front lift, billies are fine, if you want to pick a low rated coil from OME and pair it with 5100s or their OME shocks would be another option.

 

No. I do not have the TSB. I have the factory 3-leaf pack with the Hellwig 990 kit that gives me 1.5"'s of lift.
