Bilstein 5100 on tacoma sport

I understand this post has probably already been created but i have searched a few times and was unable to find a definite answer. I currently own a 2021 Sport DCLB and was interested in leveling the truck (slight lift is okay, but do not want the truck to sit lower in the back than front). I found the 5100 pack that includes the height adjustable front shocks. My question is if i just get 5100 all around will i also need to add a small block or AAL or with that suffice to make the truck level out/very small lift. Thanks.

 

All depends on what setting you do in front.

 

This. Measure from wheel hub to fender and adjust your front setting accordingly. You don't need to add anything in the rear if you don't want to. Your 3rd or 4th notch on the 5100's should get you pretty level depending your current heights. Compare your front to rear, adjust front settings to make up for the difference. Here's a thread as well that may help answer some questions:

Here you go OP

 

Since my rear 5100’s were backordered this summer when I got my Sport, I wasn’t able to fully install things in one shot.
I set the fronts to the 3rd clip (or was it #4?) and added the 1” block to the rear using the stock shocks. There were no issues , a 1” lift is about as far as I’d go. My rears came in a few weeks later. But yes, you can add a 1” block to stock shocks. It will still sit level.

Ps Double check the recommended circlip height for making things level with a 1” rear block. I don’t want to give you bad intel and now I can’t remember 100% . Either #3 or #4.

 

And don't forget to re-aim your headlights if you change the front/rear ride height relationship. I'll probably do 5100's in mine eventually with the fronts at 1.1 and run a 1 inch block out back.
