Bilsteins 5100

Hello... Anyone here have bilstein 5100s in the front set at 1.5 inches and and no rear lift? Would like to see pictures see how the truck levels out!!

 

I just had 5100's installed today. I had them set on the 3rd circlip setting. Unfortunately I can't get an accurate picture for you. I got back late and now it's dark. I will get you one from work tomorrow. My driveway is sloped so it's hard to get an accurate measurement until I can get on flat ground. I did not do anything to the rear. I did the same thing to my Tundra years ago and was very happy with just leveling it out.

 

Middle notch levels the truck. As soon as you put 100 pounds in back it sags. Installed airbags to solve that riddle.

 

Here ya go.

 

Just had these installed recently. I have them on the 2nd circlip, no lift in rear…

 

Thats what i want! Nice!
What notch is yours set at?
And did it give you 1.5 inches in raise?
More or less?

 

Taken this morning. Bilstein's were put on yesterday. Front is 1/4" lower than the rear. I'm happy with it. Setting was 3rd notch.

 

3rd notch is what ride height on specs?
NICE!

 

I used the third snap ring groove. If I remember correctly the directions claimed this would give me 1.1 inches of lift.

 

I believe 3rd notch is 1.1" increase.

 

Thats my husband....lol

 

On a serious note you will like the 5100’s great shock. Post pics when your lift is done

 

My older tacoma had eibachs set at 2 inches, made truck about 1/2 or so higher than rear, so i had to put 1 inch blocks in rear. Thats why im interested in bilstein 5100s.
Interested in 4th notch. According to specs...its 1.55. so that should level my truck or slightly lower front than rear....
Mine stands at 35" front and 37" rear....

 

I assume setting the 5100's to the third notch would be with OEM springs? What would using OME 885's need to be set at? Is that even feasible when not touching the rear?

 

What was your set up?

 

According to OME specs 885 Coils lift 1.5 inches, so im assuming on bilsteins 5100s it would be notch 1.....lowest notch.

From experience...eibach shocks settings are...
Notch 1= oem height.
Notch 2= 1 inch lift.
Notch 3= 2 inch lift.
With oem springs! If you add eibach springs. You set to Notch 1, since coils give the 2" lift......
