    I wanted to know if anyone had recommendations for a leveling kit for my 2017 trd sport DCLB. I was looking at the Low range off road 3"-1" leveling kit, and the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. Please let me know if any of you have had any experience with either of these, or have a better recommendation that you know works well. Thanks!

    No on leveling "kit" and yes with Bilstein 5100s - you have a Sport, treat yerself and get OME 885 springs along with the 5100s all 4 corners and REAR - Icon Progressive AALs and then a 1/4" spacer for the front driver side shock tower for the "Taco Lean".

    I have a Sport I did the above as mentioned.... NIGHT and DAY difference for the better over the "sport" suspension.. You won't notice until lifted and then.... thank me later.

    Hit up Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she will get you everything you need.

    This setup is a VAST improvement over stock AND a block lift.... this is likely the best lift you can get on a budget or if you just want to improve the stock setup.. this does both.

    Alright I appreciate the help, i'll definitely look into it, I wanna have it planned by the end of winter so I can get all the work for it done before summer starts.

    NP - look around here.... there's several threads about 5100s and lifting. The springs do the lifting so with blocks that's what lifts the truck... completely different feel..like opposites actually then there's the Sport suspension somewhere in the middle.
    You don't notice it now but the sport is bouncy when empty. I had to run around with a bale of hay in the back to tame that down. After lifting as described... LOVE the ride on and off road.

    Yeah I've recently noticed how bouncy it is I'm prob gonna throw some sand bags back there for the rest of winter to stop sliding sometimes cause we get a lot of snow up where I live. By the way how much did it cost for you to have all the new stuff installed on your truck?
