Bilstein 5100 front and rear installed for 700.00

2016 Tacoma TRD sport 4x4.
Front and rear shocks installed.
So cal area.
Is this a good deal.
Other people with this setup?

 

call Marie at headstrong offroad. What are you trying to accomplish?

 

Just an inch or two of lift without too much modification from stock.

 

I have that exact setup. For me it was $650 installed with an alignment. Good setup versus stock! I’m only at an inch lift.

 

Where are you located?
What size wheels and tires?

 

I’m in the Portland area.
Running 275/70/17 (32”) tires. Wheels have -10mm offset. Slight slight rubbing only at full flex.

 

SoCal where?

 

Los Angeles.

 

Looks really good. Damn I love that Inferno. I love the black trim and Inferno paint job a lot!

 

Los Angeles? Call to discuss options and get parts from @HeadStrong Off-Road, I did the same and added a single leaf Deaver AAL for the rear to get about 1.5 inches all around. Pick a shop that will do an alignment for you as part of the lift job too.

 

How much did you pay for this. And where.

 

No.....

 

No what?

 

I paid $485 total for the four 5100’s and OME Dakar rear spring AAL’s from Headstrong, and did the installation myself and got the alignment separately. If your shop is including everything for $700, including shocks, a rear AAL and alignment, thats not bad.

 

Price out parts from Headstrong. If you want a lift get new springs up front and AALs for the rear. Then add about 200 for install.

 

stock UCAs?

 

Yep stock UCA’s! You really only need them after 2” as that’s when you really start flunking with the dynamics and geometry of the vehicle.

 

i see, i have the 5100s in the front set on bottom notch with ome 888 springs, gave me about 2.75" over stock height. Wish i wouldve bought some new UCAs to install when i had the front suspension apart. The dealership got my truck pretty close to aligned but i can still see my front wheels bowing in a little.

 

That’s good your dealer installed them for you, then they’re liable for holding up your warranty. One of ones in my area denied me so I went to a shop to have my stuff installed and went to a different dealer afterwards and was told that as long as the shop is ASE certified then lifting won’t affect your warranty at all. Although it never should unless Toyota can prove that your parts were the direct cause for whatever component failed.
Look into SPC UCA’s, they’re on the cheaper end and will get the job done.
