Is a 2" lift possible in rear of my tacoma with 5100 bilsteins?

I just installed 5100's all around in my 06 Tacoma and set the fronts at 1.75". Now the front sits higher than the back. I'd like to lift the rear 2" by aal but would that exeed what the rear bilsteins can handle? It says 0-1" for rears. Can somebody help me on this one? Please and thanks!

 

You want the 5125s for any more than 1.5" in the rear if I remember right. I didn't know better back when I got my 5100s all around and have been riding with them in the rear with just over 2" of lift, no real issues (yet). It's stiff as hell though.

 

I wish I would have known that before I installed. Wonder if I should just reset the front to.85 and call it a day or add something that raises it 1" in the back.

 

Probably your best bet, until you can get your hands on some 5125s and do the rear right. I've had my 5100s in the rear with +2" of lift for 6 months now and have done quite a bit of off-roading in them as well, no leaks or blowouts yet but I know I'm on borrowed time with them.

 

5100s are for 0-2", so yes.

 

Why does it say 0-1" then?

 

I have the 5100s in the rear with the Headstrong progressive aal... that is what was rec. by Marie at headstrong, so you should be good. I got right around 1.5" in the rear from the aal with the overload removed, so that might be a good choice for you.

 

Different places say different heights for the standard 5100s. You're fine with 0-2". You need the extended 5100s for 3-4" of lift. I ran a 2" AAL in the rear of mine with a standard 5100 and was just fine, even while wheeling a bunch.

 

It's good for 0-2".

80% of this forum runs 5100s front and rear with 2" of rear lift without issues. I did the same.

Back in the good ol' days.. it said on vendor websites "0-2" lift applications."

Believe what you prefer.

 

I'm also running a 2" AAL with the standard 5100's in the back. No issues.

 

I run TSB rear springs, Wheelers 3 leaf HD add a leaf and 1/2" blocks on my truck with 5100s. It should add up to right about 2" over a stock truck with TSB springs. This combo netted me 2.5" of lift over stock on non TSB springs.

No problems.
