2nd Gen 5100s upgrade with a leveling kit

Hi Guys I was wonder whether anyone has or could shed some light on how my truck will sit if I put Bilstein 5100s in the front and rear and where I should have them adjusted too if my tacoma already has a leveling kit in it.

 

If you set the 5100s on the lowest setting they will sit the exact same as your truck does right now, if you transfer the leveling kit over.

What kind of leveling kit do you have?

 

I believe its a readylift leveling kit 2'' in the rear and I believe 1 1/2-2'' in the front. I also wouldn't be opposed to the truck riding higher I just want it to stay level.

 

I'd put the 5100s on the highest front setting (works out to 2.5" lift). Just use the stock springs and get rid of the spacer. It's also not a good idea to stack the lifts just in case you were wondering.

Also, the rear 5100s aren't height adjustable, so I would just use whatever lift is already back there.

Here's my truck with 5100s set at one setting below the top (1.75") and a stock rear end.

 

Okay will install to that spec next week when the 5100s come in and post a pic. Thanks for the info. Nice Truck!

 

Good luck, and glad I could help! Let me know if you have any other questions.
