Does anyone have this lift kit and is it worth it?

2nd gen, just came to see what yall 3rd gens are talking about. As others have said they are interchangeable BUT I had heard rumors of bilstein 5100 specifically for the 2016-2018. Not sure if the valving or what was changed if anything or if it's even true

 

46-241627 is for 2nd gen
47-234413 is for 3rd gen

You can go here to verify, https://cart.bilsteinus.com/

Not only are the lengths different (very slight difference) the valving is also different. You could use the 2nd gens on the 3rd gen but it won't feel the same.

As for the performance, you won't find a better setup for the price. I have them on my OR DCSB and had this same setup on my 3rd gen 4runner. Have also ridden many 6112/5160 setups and they are all good.

 

I too blew out my shocks on the road to the racetrack. I mean completely blown. Sensing a trend here.

 

I guess it was true then, great info even for 2nd gen dudes

 

I'm on the 5/6 notches. It doesn't feel stiff to me at all - very comfortable on-road. Not sure how it will ride compared to the stock OR suspension, but vast improvement from the stock SR5.

 

yea I would love to know the up / down travel impacts by selecting each notch....

I would want the taller lift, but would not want to lose any up or down travel at all

 

Incorrect, 2nd gen and 3rd gen are not the same.

Interchangeable, yes, but a lift kit for 2” of lift on a second gen will give roughly 1” on a third gen. Third gens come 1” talker so the geometry changes slightly

 

2nd gen have less notches for adjustment. 3rd gen have more and are advertised to stagger to make up the diff in driver's side lean.

Are these in stock everywhere now? Last I was following is that there was a nation wide back order.

 

I talked to Marie at headstrong and she put me on a waitlist for them due to the nationwide shortage. About 4 days later she said they were in stock. Good route to go if you want to be informed when they come trickling in.

 

Have em on notches 5/6 along with headstrongs aal at 1.5” without the overload leaf. Rides awesome compared to the stock TRD OR shocks and i removed the front sway bar. Body roll isn’t awful at all and rides great so far.

 

Looks awesome bro, this helped me decide which setting I was gonna put the front on, was debating either on 5/4 or 6/5....6/5 it is for me. Waiting on my shocks to come and do my lift this upcoming week. Any UCA installed?

 

How's the Headstrong AAL setup? Did it give you 1.5" lift or did you get something different? I'm trying to find a good AAL setup to pair with my 6112/5160s and was going to go with the ICON AAL. But now that you mention the Headstrong AAL I'm starting to reconsider.

 

Thanks man! Negative on the uca’s, alignment was still all good and no tire rubbing, sitting on 265/70-17’s. Glad i could help!

It did give me 1.5” so it’s just slightly higher than the front which is what i wanted. It seems slightly stiffer but not in a bad way at all. I’m very happy with it until i purchase a new leaf pack down the road.

 

Did you install the AAL? I'm pretty good with engines, but have never dealt with leaf springs before so im curious how difficult they are.

 

This is the set up I was going to run.
I could not afford it at the time and that was about 2 yrs ago.
I ended up with 5100's all the way around.
I am pleased with set up but come tax time if this pricing is still available I will run this set up.
Cant imagine I would be disappointed for the cost.

 

Do you have more pictures? Perhaps a picture of the procile on level groud?

Looking good.

 

Picture makes it look perfectly leveled. What did you do for your e brake cables?

Interested in your experience so far.

 

There is certainly a better tire than the KO2’s. Wait for the KO3’s they are way better

 

255’s!!!

 

lol.

nah.

no pizza cutters for me
