Let me see some Bilstiens set at the 1.55" mark on stock tires...

I just received mine from Headstrong and am debating which notch to set them at. These are the 3rd Gen Bilstiens. Choices for front lift are .65", 1.1", 1.55" & 2". I think the 1.55" is where I wanna go because I've heard the ride is pretty stiff on the 2" setting. And don't come at me with the "you shoulda got OME coils" crap. Anyway, if you've got the 3rd Gen Billys and set at the 1.55" notch or even the 1.1" notch and are on stock tires, reply with a pic. I'd appreciate it...

 

I have the same questions, just got mine from Headstrong and plan on installing this week. I know i want to put it at 2" when i have bigger tires but in the meantime dont want it to look like its sitting nose high.

 

I just picked the shocks/coils up from the shop I dropped them off earlier today to have the springs swapped from the old 4600s to the new 5100s. They are set at the 1.55" setting. I will post pics after I get them installed so you can see what it looks like. I have both a 1" and a 1.5" block that's gonna go on the rear. I will decide which I install after the fronts are done and I see how the stance/rake looks. I actually want to retain a little rear-high rake because I haul heavier equipment or tow a trailer from time to time and I HATE that nose high look!

 

How did it turn out? I can't find your picks... I'm going with 1.55 and 1.5 blocks in the back next week?

 

Great set up guys. IMO for me ride from 1.55” to 2” settings no different. That’s me. Bilstein are digressive shocks. Less body roll. Nice planted ride. Other opions will vary.
Good luck

 

Thanks, 71 tattooguy! : )

 

Anytime bro

 

I have the 6112 5160 on my truck set on the 3/4th notch. I have the trd 4 runner pro wheels with 265/70/17 I know not stock but there only slightly larger then stock. I can post pics if your interested

 

They are asking about 5100’s settings

 

Oh didn’t see that. My bad. Carry on

 

Just be aware you'll still likely have a bit of rake. I did 2" front and 1.5" AAL rear and still have slight rake in the rear. I should however be level once I get my topper installed. If it ever comes that is lol. 2.5" front and 1.5" rear would probably be perfectly level.

 

Is this with the overload? Or just the 1.5 aal?
