Bilstein 5100s

Do you have updated pics once you installed the rear lift? I'm going to be doing the same lift here soon and I got a 1" block kit on the rear. How was the alignment and how does it ride?

 

Finished my lift with 5100 all around. 1.5" on front and approx 1.25" on rear with aal. Rides a bit stiffer and only slight alignment required.Took off air dam due to slight rubbing on hard terrains.

 

So you have the front set on .85 or 1.75? And are those spidertraxx 1.25 spacers you're running all around?

 

1.5". I believe the 3 notches on the adjustable bilstein is .85", 1.5", 2.35". I was told from 4wheel 2.35" is not recommended. Yes, 1.25 spidertrax. Wider rims 8 or 8.5" should have similar stance without using spacers.

 

At 1.75 I was able to achieve 0 toe .7 camber and 2.1 caster. That is the closest they could get to what I wanted which was 0 toe, 0camber and 2.5 caster. The camber is considered acceptable so I am hoping I dont have strange tire wear but will keep my eye on them.

Alignment discussed above. The ride is great I have zero complaints. The suspension barely made the front end a little stiffer but it's very minimal and I think it is perfect as it seemed a little spongy stock. The rear blocks with 5100 shocks didn't change the ride in the rear at all that I noticed. See pictures below with the rear 1-inch blocks. It is slightly higher in the rear but barely noticeable on flat ground. I like the slight rake as it gets better mileage and the rear bumper is the most vulnerable off-road. I am completely happy with how the truck turned out.

 

Looks nice man. What size tires? I forgot to ask

 

Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated. I'm going to put mine on tonight and I'll upload some pics when I'm done

 

I went small.. 265x70x17. Didn't want issues w gearing.

 

Finally got mine on a couple days ago but didn't get pics until after I washed it today. I went with the 1.75 setting on the front, and a 1 inch lift in the rear. I'm running 275/70R17 KO2s on TRD Pro 4Runner wheels. I know it's hard to tell in the pictures, but the wheels push the tires dead even with the flares when looking from the front and back. I'm really really liking this setup

Oh yeah... Inferno FTMFW

 

Sweet truck man. Do you think if you wanted to you could've fit 285s on that setup?

Thanks

 

Great looking truck. I need to get that set up.

 

I wonder if 275/70/17 tires on TRD Pro wheels with the front Billies set to .85 on stock springs would clear. I'm more of a maximum tire / minimum lift kind of guy.

I know 265/70/17 will clear on the stock suspension but that little bit extra, I don't know.

Anyone try it?

 

What mpg are you getting with that thing? That's the same setup I want! Sweet rig!

 

I'm getting about 17 with mixed driving, about 60-70% city and 30-40% highway. I also live and travel in the hilly parts of western PA, so not much of the road that I travel is flat.

I like this set up. It looks perfect IMO. I'll try to stop by the Toyota dealer soon and get pics by a stock TRD OR or Sport for comparison

 

That's not bad, what dead lift did you go with?

 

Sorry, dead lift?

 

*rear haha sorry

 

Haha. I went with @Low Range Off-Road 1" aluminum rear block kit. I got the whole setup from them. They're good dudes with excellent customer service. Goose and Anthony took care of me

 

NICE! did you get another coils or stock coils ?

 

wait... who took care of you?
