Bilstein 5100 question

I am going to install Bilstein 5100s in the front to level the truck a bit. If I understand these correctly no other parts will be needed and I can get up to 2 inched of left with them?

Do I need to have an alignment when completed?

 

Yes, no other parts needed. And yes you do need an alignment afterwards.

 

If you wanna lift to level, set the front to .85 if you dont have an aal/tsb or 1.75 with aal/tsb

search...1000 threads on this...up to 2.5" lift and u do need an alignment...i had them on my totaled 2008 trd 4x4 taco lwb . will put on my 2013 after i get my supercharger reinstalled next month...

 

Both correct.

 

I just ordered 5100s, I'm not raising the front at this time, I assume I don't need the re-alignment right? (I'm a bit tired n out of it from work)

 

You can get up to 2.5" if you want to go that high. Some problems can come with that though.

You can use just the 5100's or you can use aftermarket coils if you choose.

Use the .85 to level with stock rear.

Use 1.75 with the rear leaf TSB or an aal to level. I recommend this as it is what I'm running, ride is great!

And yes you will need an alignment after.

 

correct, if there is no height adjustment.

 

Yay lets all post the same thing 100 times just so OP knows

 

I was typing when no one had yet posted, then my wife started talking so I paused. Then when I posted...............bam. I should have known by then I was late. Oh well.

 

Yay - I'll post again for the fun of it!

 

LOL!

 

Got it so .85 to level the truck and have it aligned. Have bit larger tires will that change anything?

 

lol

 

Tires will not affect alignment.

 

What size?

Won't do anything.. won't even have to trim

 

I keep reading about this leaf spring TSB all over the forums. I just purchased a new 2013 Tacoma in October of 2012. Should my truck, being a new model, already have this correct from the factory, or is it something I should look into if I need done to it?
