spindle kit + bilstein 5100 coilover kit

hey guys-

sorry for posting yet another question, but i've been up late reading more...which lead to more confusion!

how reasonable is it to just get a set of coilovers for the front, with the idea that sometime in the future i'd go to a long-travel setup? that is, what would a set of fox 2.0's, or camburg (for example) coilovers by themselves do for me on the front? also, is the "bilstein adjustable" lift kit from toytec just the 5100s + coils, rather than coilovers? are the 5100s in the "ultimate" kit coilovers? if so, wouldn't it just be better to go with a fox/camburg or racerunner coilover by themselves up front?

thanks so much!

also: "bilstein adjustable kit": "ultimate": thanks again a ton

 

Yea I've been here for the past year myself now. Moved down here for work. And I agree I enjoy it very much. Hard to believe I've been here a year and haven't started surfing again.

 

Once you know what you are doing 2hours tops.

Oh and have a spring compressor...

did mine 3 different times in my process...

 

I have 5100's set at .85 in the front with Camburg spindles -



Deaver 10 pack in the rear with 5100's.

I did the same thing. I was going to get a spacer lift and an add a leaf - the guy at a local off road shop talked me into 5100's (front set at 2.5 - very stiff) and a 1" block in the rear - Ran that for a while - Saved up and installed Camburg spindles with 1.25 UCA's. Camburg guys said it was best to set the front 5100's at .85.

I will eventually go long travel as well - I will change out my shocks to Kings or Fox and lower control arms (Camburg) and add glass... I like the look of the All Pro fenders. As I get more miles on it. Heck, I only have 15,000 miles on the truck now.

I couldnt be happier with the current set up. Great combination. I would highly recommend this set up for a daily driver that also is into light off-roading.

I have 4" lift in the front and 3" in the back - It sits level. Check it out:

^thanks for the post tony. i think i'm going to probably go piece-by-piece, and end up with something similar to what you've got in front. thanks for the pictures as well, very nice truck.

 

Nice. I'm liking It. I think I'll definitely be doing something similar. Thanks
