Bilstein 8100’s finally

Dont be such a troll. Thats not the case the reality is I work second shift and have to be at work at 2pm everyday. We did not want to open a can of worms that would run into my work schedule... Lol you guys are hilarious.... Keep on buying and installing parts you "absolutely have to have", and I'll just keep on enjoying my truck and all of the wonderful memories its providing for me and my family... Thanks for watching

 

Try and brush off the haters. Really they're just jealous that they can't have that amount of bling under there. I know I am!


*haters will proceed to quote me and justify that they're not hating but blah blah blah*

 

Just saying you're acting like you're the one doing the UCA installation when you're clearly posting pics of the install appointment. UCA bashing.

 

Those shoulder chips just seem to catch on everything don’t they? LOL It’s frustrating - you want to shut them down with the truth but on the other hand they don’t deserve the explanation. Good job handling the neg vibes. Nice looking rig brother

 

I like the setup. I just ordered the fronts yesterday and now saving up for the rears. Just had a few questions for ya if you don't mind. For the front's, did you need a sway bar relocation kit? And when you did the rear setup, did you need extended brake lines? Thanks

How do you like your OCF front bumper? I have the OCF ditch brackets, OCF sliders (which were a pita to install by myself), and putting on the OCF rear bumper this weekend.

 

We all know its really about getting those precious likes on the Gram...

 

Setup looks great

 

8112/8100’s ordered! Going to set them at 2” before install. The pics & info you posted were super helpful - thanks!

Question: I’m about to order Deaver U402 stage 1 leafs (which list the same 3” lift as your stage 2). Did you need to do anything special to fit the 8100’s given the 3” lift from the Deavers?

Bilstein’s specs say the 8100 rears are intended for a 1.5” lift. They’re also intended for both gen 2 and gen 3 tacos, but our gen 3’s already have a 1” lift compared to Gen 2’s... I guess I just need to know if their gonna fit! Thx again

 

I've been waiting 2 weeks for my Kings and still no estimated ship date. Mad respect for you waiting a year...it probably doesn't help that I have to keep sr8s stacked in my kitchen until they come. Looks awesome and you have my seriously second guessing my decision.

 

Why can't you install your wheels without your suspension?

 

Going with 285s and don't know how well they will fit. I know they fit with some rubbing on stock wheels. I am not sure what would happen with an inch wider wheel.

 

How much weight do you have added to the front with the aftermarket bumper? I'm looking at getting the 8112's and have a hidden winch mount up front which probably adds ~100 lbs. Are you using the 600 lb springs that the coilovers come with?

 

I counted 10 leafs?...WOW...

 

Necroing this to ask how it is this many years later? Am looking at 8112/8100 setup with stock UCAs and looking into leaf pack options, curious how OPs has been doing all these years.

Deaver seems to be good but I actually want to keep the overall lift as minimal as possible. Deaver lists the leaf pack as a 2" lift now (which is probably correct relative to the already 1" lifted 3rd gen TRD OR). That's still higher I think than the 8100s spec.
