Anyone install Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks on TRD Sport for leveling?

[Jimb]

Curious if anyone has put the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks on their TRD Sport to level the front along with the 5100 on the rear end and how it changed the ride. For the better, stiffer, softer, better handling and cornering, body roll etc.. If you have done this a review of what you have experienced would be awesome.

Thanks,

Jimb

I have a set going on my SR5 on 12/5. I can let you know. Plan to have them set @ the 1.8” setting.

Did you end up doing this? Interested in what your results were.

Had to go 1" for mine.

(1) Here's @ 1.4"

(2) @ 1.4" on a very slight incline

(3) @ 1" with a .5" rear spacer

I think @magicbenjils had the same results on his OR that I did on my SR5.

Love your rig! 2.1" in the front and 1.5" in the rear was such a good move. I think I'm gonna do a full set of all dogs in the future. Just flat 1.5" all the way around with the Billy's. I love the ride of these 5100s!

I can’t let well enough alone. I’m prob gonna do OME coils in the back for a lil more weight capacity. Maybe 6112s w/ upper arms eventually. This was version 1. I just rolled 3k miles so I’ve been trying to keep it mild. It’s a struggle every day to not put the 315s in the garage on the truck! Lol. I did add an Amazon rack too.

Looks good! That 3rd pic looks like you put some rake back in.
