    Hey Guys
    I would like to level my sons 2020 TRD Offroad like I did with my 2021 Tundra using the 5100's in the front. I did add the coachbuilder strut/coilover shims to the Tundra to add another 1/2" of lift and I am not sure if any of you have used that shim and what your thoughts are. I kind of like a slight rake to the front of the truck.

    Also I searched the site but couldn't find a real answer to this question.
    If I use the 5100's in the front to level (lift) and I also want to replace the rear shocks...should I also use the 5100's in the rear? I don't want to lift the rear.
    Or do I just buy 4600's for the rear?

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Just use the 5100s to set the front height.

    I personally would match the rear with a set of 5100s.

    Shocks won't lift the rear of the truck, only leaf springs will. I'd lift the front with 5100's and leave the rear as is if you want it level. If you want rear shocks you can go with 5100's. 4600's are comparable to the stock rear shocks so you wouldn't see any benefit there.

    Yes, you can just set the front 5100's at 1" (notch 3) I believe. Nothing wrong with the stock rear Off Road Bilsteins.

    I went 5100s all around to level my 2017. I did end up adding a leaf spring due to the weight in the back of my truck with a camper shell. The added leaf didn't make much difference in the lift height of the back but the truck sits nice and level.
