Bilstien 5100's getting installed in the front, I want the full 2.5, what else?

Hey guys, I'm pitting 5100's in the front and want the full 2.5" , will I need anything to get the rear up level with that? Or anything else to prevent drive probs?

 

1.5" will level the back

 

I have mine set at 2.5 and TSB rear springs and am only slightly 'bro'

 

mine are set at 2.5 with wheelers 2" aal after it settled its almost perfect slight rake but i like that much better that being nose high

 

With 2.5" in front it is recommended you drop the front differential.
What this does is it brings the front differential down (about 1") and
takes some of the stress of the front CV's (and for some cures vibrations after lift). The kit runs about $30 from Toytec, Wheelers ect...

If you have the TSB rear spings the 1.5" AAL should bring you level.
If you have stock rear springs the 2" AAL bring it level.

So how do you know if you have the TSB springs?

EASY, count the number or leaf springs, you will have 3 or 4.
If you have 3, then you do NOT have the TSB springs.
If you have 4 you DO have the TSB springs.

3 = STOCK
4 = TSB Rear Springs.

 

I just installed my 5100's and set them at 2.5 with a 2'' toytec aal. I didnt have the tsb. almost level, just a slight rake and stance like factory but higher all together. I'm very happy. maybe some 285's will make me happier.

 

1.5" AAL has me level. Caster will probably be off @ 2.5" but nothing major and easy to deal with. Also doesn't contribute to tire wear anyway.
