Need some quick Bilstein 5100 help.....

Just bought a 09 DC LB 4wd TRD literally 30 minutes ago. Picking it up Thursday....deal is pending a mechanics inspection Wednesday.

Here is the rub...truck currently has Bilstein 5100s on all four corners but no to the mods to the suspension. He has the front set at .85 and rears at stock height and it has 265 70 17 BFGs.

If the mechanic oks purchase which I suspect he will.....I would like to get him to adjust the Billsteins so I can run bigger tires.

What height do I need to do this and keep the leveled look?

Thanks...at work and one day to figure it all out

 

On my 2011 Dbl Cab Offroad short bed with the stock three leaf rears (two main plus 1 overload) Front set at 1.75 (third notch up from bottom) with stock Offroad springs. The front looks level too just a little nose high. Most defiantly a little nose high with even a little bit of a load. If it has the four leaf (three main plus overload) you should be good at the third notch. Running 265 75 16's with FN wheels 4.5" back spacing stock upper control arms and all 4 mud flaps.

 

Stock wheels for now forgot to add

 

I used 5100's for my old setup on my 2008 dcsb. Fronts were set to lift it 2.5" along with a 1.5" AAL in the rear. That, along with a cab mount chop will allow you to run 33's with not rubbing. Without the cab mount chop you'll only be able to run 32's without rubbing.

 

Not looking to cut the cab mount........thinking 32/11/17 will fit with fronts at 1.75?

 

In that case, yeah, that might be fine. But then again, you can run 32's without any lift
