    Rear Suspension TSB, Bilstein 5100 on all 4 corners-fronts set at 1.75". BFG A/T's @ 265/75/16; Access LE Roll-up cover; Iron Cross Tube SS Steps; Fumoto valve; WeatherTech Liners; AFE Pro-Dry; front side windows tinted 20%; TW Decal!
    Mine is getting done as we speak. The dealer is installing my 5100s in place of the TSB supplied Bilsteins (which they are going to give me). The tech called me and suggested that I go with the standard setting on the 5100s, I said install them at 1.75" setting thinking that this would nearkly level out the front.

    Does this sound logical or did I go too high? Will the rear springs settle back to stock level?

    Did you correct the front rake with spacers or anything, ie 5100s? if so, what height did you go with?

    I went with the Trux Lift kit on the front end and kept the original Bilstiens. I also used the spacers for the front rack..

    All seams fine

    Slight vibration in the driveshaft from putting in the additional 2.5 inch lift in the rear, even though I used the axel shims....

    Once I put on the knobby tires, I can't even really notice the driveshaft vibrations since the tires mask the noise/vibration over...

    I think I went with the 1.5 inch spacers...can't find my paper work though..
    The guys at Toytech.com were a great help as far as figuring the tech stuff out...
