Bilstein 5100 lift

Ok, I am getting the bilstein 5100 lift for my 2019 Tacoma with the 2888 coil and strut assembly. My question is, should I get the upgraded UCAs, and the 1 or 3 AAL

 

Yes UCA and 3

 

Up to you on UCAs. Not necessarily needed. I'm on 888s with stock UCAs

3 AAL is gunna ride better

 

Don't waste your money on 888s they will sag, my friend is on his second set. Plus the 5100s work well with the factory coils and I run my 5100s on the stock Sport coils and stock UCA and alignment is perfect.

 

How much lift did you get?

 

2 1/2 up front and an inch block in the rear. The tires got me some more lift as well.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong @mds08, but all you did literally is is put the 5100's on in front at the top setting (2.5"), and your happy with it? That and the 1" block in the rear?? I've heard many people say it's too harsh up front in that setting.

Looking forward to your reply.

 

I run mine on the 4th perch next to the top setting, 1/4 shim for the lean. Yes it rides great, better than the stock sport struts. Think of it like this, rides like a off road without any lean in the turns and no nose diving when breaking. The shop I used does a lot of these, recommend stock coils and the ride is great. I'm picky and very anal about things being cared for and in perfect order. My truck fits the bill for me. Yes a one inch rear block, rear carrier barring drop and a front diff drop as well. Alignment was perfect with stock uca, no rubbing, vibrations, no shakes, no issues what so ever. More than satisfied!

 

Gratz, that is a beautiful ride. I have the same truck, but 2019 in Metallic Grey. I am wanting to add the SSO slimline hybrid brush guard and a winch. I am worried about the front dipping. My shocks are factory Bilstein 4800. I was looking at 5100s. You think only changing the shocks I will be good enough to compensate? I read the 5100s are adjustable. Sorry for interjecting on thread but similar conversation. Thanks.

Thank you for the nice comment, I have no experience with adding extra weight up front. I do know my neighbor is on his second set of OME 888 springs because of sagging and he has no added weight. Mine and his ride the same and handle the same. I did the same set up but I'm on stock coils versus him on 888s. It may did with that much weight I'm thinking.
