Opinion of the Bilstein 5100's

cuz I had a thought if going with the 5100s at 2.5 with 285s but wasn't sure if it would be high enough.

I would go ome but money is a factor I'm only 19 savin up my money haha.

 

Banshee...........the 5100's ride friggin awesome man. i replaced mine all the way around..................alos went with new wheelers rear leafs and ome 881 coils for a bit of lift. if you really wanted to stay stock height or close to it anyway......you can get a set of wheelers 4 leaf rears.....basically stock height springs, and ome 880 coils like chris mentioned, with billy 5100's all the way around, and you'll have a great ride. and at 72k............i gotta think your whole suspension is pretty worn..............mine only had 46k on it when i got it and everything was shot!!

 

you may wanna stick with the ome 880's then......cause the 881 are gonna give you around 2 inches of lift or so....................thats what they did for my double cab. the rears may not be necessary now, but if you start to have axle wrap and all, if you dont wanna pay for the new springs, you can get some helper springs at autozone for around $25. reason im saying stay with the 880 coils is that with the 881 up front, and no new springs or aal in the rear, the front will sit alot higher.

 

yeah, im pretty positive.......just keep the 5100's on the stock setting and you'll be good to go. you could go with 881's if you wanted a little lift, and then run an aal from toytec(wheelers may have one too), but if you are wanting to stay near stock height......880's are the way to go, and the 5100's will be a nice edition.

 

sweet!!! sonny is awesome to deal with man!!! if you ever get stuff from wheelers.......jason is awesome to deal with also!!

 

right on man!!!! you gonna do the deckplate mod and the gray wire mod on the "new" first gen???

 

ah...cool. man, i seafoamed mine, changed all fluids, cleaned the tb, replaced all the filters....transmission included.............had to get mine running back the way it was supposed to. the dude that had it before me musta been a douche...............he did absolutely nothing to it!!!

if you can....do you mind posting a pic of the iac................i wanna give mine a new cleaning too man. im about to change my oil again, and im gonna replace the fuel filter again.................when i changed it a couple of months ago, there all kinds of rust and shit coming outta the lines and old filter. its running pretty damn tip top shape now, but while im at it....i definitely wanna clean the iac as well as the tb again....................but im kinda unsure where the iac is exactly.

 

ok,cool. whats the best way to clean it.....remove it and spray the shit outta it,in thru the nipples with seafoam deep creep, and let it drain??
