Suspension question

With the purchase of the 3" Bilstein Lift Kit from Toytec...will I need anything else like an exhaust bracket, extended brake lines (front or rear?), bushing kit (whatever that is - i'm still new to all of this)?

Here's the kit - http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks-_p_1137.html

 

So, for a lift like that one, you are not going to need the extended brake lines. As for the exhaust bracket, most of us just cut the tail pipe just before it makes the turn to the passenger side of the truck.

There's only one thing I don't like on this lift. It shows a 620lb spring rate for the front springs. If it were me, I would go with either the 550lb or 600lb spring rates, but nothing higher. I think the 620s will ride stiff and won't flex that well. When you order, just ask for 550 lb springs instead.

 

Good looking out Lumpskie, Thanks!

 

I'm about to order this one as well. Anybody else agree in the spring being stiff?

 

I'm goona put this lift on now with stock weight. Just curious if I put a plate front bumper, this one to be exact. With a winch. What would be needed to bring it back up after the added weight. A different spring or just max out the 5100's?

 

BUMP

 

Just to pick your brain again...What is a "Bushing Kit" - is this something I'll need? And U-Bolts? I'm still trying to figure out if that kit has everything I'll need...I'd hate to rip apart the suspension and find out I need something else! thanks again!

 

get rear brake lines, they are very short, unless you never go off road.....
