Another thread with Billy 5100 questions

So I've decided I'm going to put Bilstein 5100s on my 2011 TX Pro to lift and level it out. I'm thinking 1.75" in the front and 0.85" in the rear. I just had a couple questions about them.

1) Can I reuse my factory springs or do I need new ones? I've read things that go both ways. If I can reuse them, is the ride going to be really stiff or is it bearable? If I cant reuse them what do you guys recommend I get?

2) I've read a lot of posts about people adding an extra leaf spring in the rear. Can I raise the rear up with just a 5100 or do I need to add a leaf to bring it up? If I need to add a leaf what do you guys recommend?

Thanks

 

You can use your factory coil at 1.75 the ride isn't that stiff
The rear 5100 is just a shock no adjustment . You need a aal or new leaf pack to lift the rear

 

the 5100 can not lift the rear, you need an add a leaf, air bag, block or new leafs

 

Ya that's kinda what I was thinkin. Thanks

 

toytec, its cheap and it boosts yer payload, it gives about 1.75 of lift.

 

i have 1.5in toytec lift blocks that worked great for me...20 bucks plus shipping if you want
