SR5 Suspension Lift: Bilstein 5100

[romik]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my truck! Upgraded to Bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks, and I’m really happy with the height and the ride.

Feel free to chime in on the alignment numbers if you know your stuff.

2.2 inch front and 0.8 rear lift. Sweet spot considering my tire size and overall level stance!

5100 dedicated for 6Gen. Stock springs.
I would say its a bit firmer, more controlled, less body roll for sure which i love it, less nose dive under breaking, and the most important thing in my opinion you get more droop travel compared to any preloaded collar lift, less bouncy and more truck like ride... Very satisfied overall.

Great lift height and leveling amount! What size are your tires?

Nicely done

Nicely done, great stance!
Mine are being installed on June 5th, can you please measure from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the fender flare so I can see what actual lift you got, thanks!

Center cap wouldn’t be very accurate, so I went with the lower cap/point since I can hook the measuring tape there. It’s 24 1/8 inches.

@romik Are you running Westcott pucks in the rear to achieve the 0.8” lift?

My install is 6 days away, I’m doing Bilstein 6112/6100 combo with rear Westcott pucks ( 2.4” front, 0.8” rear) current rake is 1.8” so was looking to bring everything up to about 2.5”.

Going for 285/75R17 BFG AT KO3s with 1” spider spacers. Gonna be sick, I think lol

That’s right. For your setup, I would recommend a 1-inch ReadyLIFT spacer for the rear if you like a level stance. And i would avoid any wheel spacer, that's just me.

Thank you, I already have the Westcott pucks so if circlip setting 4 (2.4" for SR5) on front 6112s is too high then I'll have to drop it down a size to the (2" lift), I like many others would prefer a lift with a small factory rake than a dumpy bottom.

I don't like the idea of spacers either trust me. I'm trying to do something not seen too often which is fit 285/75R17 on my stock +55mm offset SR5 rims, Just worried that the (33.8" x 11.2" KO3) will rub on the stock UCA.. So I bough 1" spiders to give me a ~30 mm offset which should work.

I should just scrap the SR5 rims and spacers and get BlK RHINOS, that's the move lol

Where did you get these Bilstein 5100's?

 

[BlueFinTunaGuy]

Soo, I decided to scrap the whole 1" spider tracks paired with the SR5 rim to try and fit the 285/75R17 K03. My mindset lately has shifted to how to best naturally fit a 285/75R17.

Ordered some Method 703's 35 offsets. lol
