You definitely need an alignment. Remember, Bilstein shocks are longer, and the way they change the suspension geometry is more significant than the Westcott design. It’s not just about that small height difference.
Thanks for the info and your contribution to the community. I commented on one of your YouTube videos yesterday and got a quick response. Can you tell us more about how airbags work, and why not just replace the rear springs with stronger ones instead?
Well, when I got my brand new car, there were already some visible scratches on the paint. I even spoke with the sales manager, and he offered to polish it. I agreed, and at first it looked good, but after one car wash, everything reappeared. It seems like they damaged the clear coat, and...
You’re right, actually that was the best answer so far, and thank you for that. And yes, they are out. The screenshot I posted is from the Bilstein official website: you choose the brand, model, and exact trim, and it gives you options to choose from.
Well, the short answer would be performance and less body roll. I’m not answering in a way that some people come in and change the subject by saying preloaded collar lift kits are better or the same. I simply don’t see a point in paying around $500 for CNC aluminum when, for the same price, you...
Hi guys,
Has anyone upgraded their suspension on the 6th gen using Bilstein 5100s and used the adjustable perch to level the vehicle? I’m planning on doing a 2-inch front lift with the 5100s and keeping the rear stock height but still replacing it with Bilstein (like what’s shown on the...
I saw your YouTube video and was wondering where you’re located and how much you would charge for labor to install Fox 2.0 on an SR5, just like the one you did in the video.
Thanks for sharing,
Could you please elaborate more on the ride quality? Is it stiffer or softer? And how are you going to fix the steering wandering after upgrading to a much larger tires?
Thank you for the quick response. I’ve heard it’s more noticeable on the SR5, on the other hand, there are very few comments about it. I’ve been researching gear and axel ratios, and it seems that larger tires affect shifting more on the SR5 than on higher trims. The axel ratio information for...
Looks good, I like it and I’m planning to do the setup. My only concern is that technically, when upgrading to 285/70R17, we need to use 17x9 rims ( OEM is 17x7 inches ). Otherwise, experts say sticking with OEM rims will cause sidewall bulge and uneven wear. Have you taken this into consideration?
