Just Ordered: Bilsteins And AAL

Sounds good guys! What size tires are y'all going to run? I'm probablly going to run the 285 BFG KM2's on my stock wheels, I just installed my Wheelers 1/4" spacers yesterday.

 

Ok, just got the Bilsteins and AAL in today. Does anyone know how to adjust them? Any pictures would be helpfull. Thanks.

 

The Bilstein's? All you do is move that snap ring down for 1" of lift or down to the lowest level for 0" lift. The top one is 2.5" of lift.

 

I'm looking right at them now and I can't figure it out still. I'm feel stupid haha.

I just took some pictures. As they are right now, are they at 0"? I want them at 2.5"

 

Looks like 2.5"

 

Thanks man. I will double check with toytec before I get them installed because I don't want 2 more inches in the back and nothing in the front! haha.

 

n/p Yeah i hear you that would be pretty funny looking

 

Those are pretty crappy pics but you are at stock level from what I can see.

Here, envision this. The perch sits on that ring and that ring is in one of three grooves. The way you tell ride height is by the amount of preload you are going to be putting on those springs. I assume you are using stock springs and you did not get aftermarket like OMEs or equivalent. The reason I ask is new fresh springs will ride a bit higher than well worn stockers. Nothing wrong with that, just saying. I used my stockers with 160,000 on them

Anyways, the more you are compressing the springs, when you install them, the higher it will sit. FYI - You give up a wee bit of travel when you crank them up all the way (2.5" setting). I set mine in the middle….and got about an 1.25" lift. Ride is slightly stiffer than stock. My bad body roll went away as well.

 

I have your same suspension set up and running a set of BS Revo ll's 285/75r16

 

Seems Toytec is now out of 5100's...

Grrr.... I want some.

 

Taco76087: Is this what you are talking about?

 

Sorry. My camera is out of batteries so I'm using my Blackberry.

 

will the Nitto Trail 295/70/17 work with this set up?

 

You have a 2006, I really don't know about 2nd Generations.

But my guess is that you will have to do a lot of trimming. Check out AriZonaD54's build. I'm pretty sure he is running that same size and tire.
