Is this a RWD? Would you say the ride feels ‘plusher’ than before?I installed bilstein 5100 on my trd sport yesterday with stock coils
Lifted up to the 5th ring that is 2.2"
It rides better then the stock suspension now
No lift at the rear
Now my front sits .25 higher then the rear my next plan is to install 5100 rear suspension to level up the truck
It looks pretty much leveled right now but when you sit inside you can feel the rear sag

I received and installed the Bilstein 5100 suspension on our 2025 4Runner Limited this weekend. The Limited had a rough ride from the start. You could feel every bump in the road. I had installed the Westcott preload lift front and rear and that didn't make it worse but it sure didn't get any better. So, I left the .75 inch spacer in the rear and installed the 5100s there. I removed the front collars and spacer and installed the 5100s set at 2.2 inches. Install was overall pretty easy. Hardest part was disconnecting the darn AVS connectors. I was concerned I would get warning lights on the dash but we've driven it about 75 miles and still no issues.
The ride is sooo much better. An added bonus was that we had always had a rattle in the rear every time we hit a bump. Now, it's so much smoother it got rid of the rattle. I forgot to add that we had already ditched the stock 20s and switched to the 17"methods with 265-70-17 BFG KO3s. That didn't help the harsh ride either. With this setup it is almost dead level. From floor to front fender is about 37.25 front and 37.5 in the rear. Was 37.5 all around with Westcott. I like the very slight rake better.

Very nice set-up! Can you please measure from center hub to the bottom of the fender well. I appreciate it.I received and installed the Bilstein 5100 suspension on our 2025 4Runner Limited this weekend. The Limited had a rough ride from the start. You could feel every bump in the road.

Finally got around to measuring this for mine. It's sitting at 23.0 in the front and 23.25 in the rear.Very nice set-up! Can you please measure from center hub to the bottom of the fender well. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the measurements, did you use the stock coils up front.
