Lifting it up !

ive recently decided I cants stand my old stock suspension with 150,000 miles (and original shocks). I purchased the complete MooG replacement front end and have been looking at shocks. Of course I could keep it stock and go with new struts but I want more. I've been looking at bilstein 5100's combined with the toy tec coils and add a leaf. A little lift but not sure if even that is to much ??? I also like the sounds of the toy tec BOSS system combined with bilstein 5100's for what seems to be the best all around ride.

Keep in mind the truck is a 02' quad cab prerunner / any thoughts ???? / I mainly drive on the road but do love to drive down some gravel roads at a high speed and I love a good trail to explore. Are my tires going to look to small ? I have 31's on 17" rims

It's early so excuse my bad grammar

 

Good morning Brian. I have been doing research to upgrade my suspension so I will share some of the info I have gotten from various sources with you.
Talk with Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road She will help you out with everything. Very knowledgeable and incredibly patient.
From what I hear the 5100s will be a big improvement from stock. And they are very cost effective.
I am debating on two (maybe more ) manufacturers. The possibilities are endless depending on how deep your pockets are.
Check out Ramon's group buys too. Right now he has one going on for OME kits. More are coming. Check them out.
Keep doing your research as you have the time.
Best of luck.

How's the frame lookin' on your truck, btw?

 

There's deffiantely a lot of options out there. Also depending on your leafs you may just want to upgrade. I like the new leaf packs I have. Check out allprooffroad.com, there customer service is lousy in my interaction but hey there price's aren't bad. Also they have the whole set up for front and back with billies for about $1400. Takes some mystery out of the process and peace of mind that what your getting works. I have the Tundra 5100's and there a bit stiff but anticipating a heavier bumper someday...

 

Is that for the 5100s?
What leaf pack did you get?

 

I got 5125's billies in the back I believe (its honestly what the guy on the phone said to go with) extended brake lines, non expo all pro leafs. I bought that for about $700. Then stalked CL till I found brand new Camburg UCA's and Tundra TRD coils on used 5100 billies for the front for $500. I like the set up personally. It offroads just fine too.

 

Yeah, Bilstein is a quality manufacturer with a great reputation.
