bilstein 5100 or spacer

I installed ICON RXT leaf back few months ago. I have ~4 inch rake and was curious if it I would get at least a 2" lift in front with upgrade to bilstein 5100 or just put a spacer in? Not looking to spend a lot of money right now, and just have 265/65s

 

what's your center of hub up to fender front and back?

 

19.5" front 24" rear

 

Stock Tacoma is 22 inches in the back, so you have a 2 inch lift there. On the Front 20 is stock, so you would be looking at a 2 inch lift to be level or a 1 inch lift to have a bit of rake. Do you offroad or mainly stick to pavement?

 

primarily pavement or forest service roads few times a year for hunting/camping

 

You’d be fine with a spacer lift in the front if you’re trying to save cash, my buddy has run one for years driving similar stuff. A 1 inch spacer will give 2 inches approx.
If you go budget shocks Bilstein 5100s are a cheap lift without spacers.

 

excellent! thank you for your input!

 

I'd got with the 5100, but get some OME springs for the lift. It is a couple of hundred bucks more going that route, but they ride so much better!
