3rd Gen Bilstein 5100 now available

It does look nice and level!

 

Are those FN Wheels? the grey looks good with the inferno.

 

Stock

 

Is the first notch .66"? This gives an Access Cab a nearly level look with maybe a half inch of rake?

 

Thanks! any settling yet?

How is the ride set t 2''?

265/70/17 ?

MPG's?

looks so clean how you have it!!! Great job!!

 

Thanks a lot!!

The ride is great. I think the 5100s improved the ride.
Yes the tires are 265/70/17
When I first put the tires on I may have lost about 1 mpg, but haven't noticed any difference since the lift.

 

Can anyone with 3rd gen 5100s and 887s give a measured lift height?

 

3gen 5100 with 887. HS 3 leaf aal. Driver side spacer. I got about 3" up front and 2" in the back.

I can't say enough good things about Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road.

 

Is that right after lifting it or was it settled by then?

 

It's been a week.

 

Thank you. Are you on the lowest notch?

 

Roger that.

 

Damn, it seems like we get so many mixed numbers on these lifts. I know 887s seem to give you about 2in on the 2nd gen 5100s. Now it seems that the 3rd gens put it up to 3in. I would think a week would be long a enough time to set settle the springs. What size tires are you planning on running?

 

255/85-16

 

I think you have your gens backwards. 887's give 3 inches on 2nd gen and 2 inches on 3rd gen. Main difference is the 3rd gen from the factory sits 1 inch higher than the 2nd gen.

 

Correct on the 3rd gen and 2nd gen trucks. I was talking about the 3rd gen vs 2nd gen 5100s. Sorry, I didn't make that clear. MitchK was saying he achieved 3in on 887s with 3rd gen 5100s. That is what I was referring to.

 

10-4. Yeah that doesn't make sense as to what headstrong off-road has published. They say 2.25.

Wanted to provide my feedback and results. Recently lifted my 2016 DCSB TRD Sport 4x4. I used the 3rd gen Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front are set to the 4th notch or 1.55" setting, and I installed the ICON 3 leaf progressive AAL in the rear and left the overload in.
I did not do a diff drop or carrier bearing drop and the UCA's are stock. Current tires are Cooper AT3 265/70r17. I have also installed 1" Bora spacers to help clear the UCA when I move up to 275's as I plan to keep the stock wheels. The lift measurements are below, I got 2" lift in front and 2.5" in rear with about 120 lbs in the bed. I am very happy with the setup, no vibrations or squeaking so far.

Before Measurements (Center hub to fender): Driver Front 20.5", Passenger Front 20.75", Driver Rear 21", Passenger Rear 21.25"

After Measurements (after 2 weeks settling): Driver Front 22.5", Passenger Front 22.75", Driver Rear 23.5", Passenger Rear 23.75"

 

Stock front Coils or OME?

 

I kept the stock front coils. I actually installed the fronts a few days before the rear Icon AAL, and besides the reverse lean I was really impressed with how the front suspension absorbed bumps on the road. It was noticeably smoother than when the stock front shocks were on.
