help w/adjustable 5100's matching LC coils
I should have my 8 wrap LC coils tomorrow. My question is this.. Ive got the Revtek 3/8" top spacers i can use (from my current Revtek lift)and also have a new set of Tundra adjustable 5100's with a pair of brand new Tundra TRD coils. The Bilstein paperwork says the middle ring will give roughly 1.3" of additional lift . I really want my truck level so would you guys recommend the middle ring with the top out spacer in hopes of my truck being level? Im thinking i need as much as i can get but dont want to sacrifice ride quality or stress the front end too much. Thanks for any advice

If you run LC coils its pretty much certain that you care going to have some rake.

if these particular coils give 3-3.5" of rear lift ... the Tundra coils give roughly 2", the spacer 1/2", and roughly 1.25" adjusted that sounds level right? I dont mind if its an inch or so. Im guessing i should be pretty close to what im after

8 wraps will give you 4-4.5 inches

 guess ill plan on having some rake then, lol. I swear ive seen some with 8 wraps and OME front setups that looked perfectly level and my setup should be a little taller up front than theirs. I can live with an inch i guess which sounds close

I am running the threaded body Bilsteins and have them at 3" 's and the SS 1.2 rear system so not sure what wrap coils they are. When I first installed I had a lot of rake, but thanks to 35k miles in the past year and having a heavy custom rear bumper with tire carrier it sits almost level now. Very slight rake. The instructions say it will take about 20-35k miles for the springs to settle fully so you will loose a little of the rake over time just not a lot.

ive got the stock rear bumper so might be more rake on mine - i also have one of those big rectangular carriers that mount to the hitch that i usually carry deer corn and some other pretty heavy things with. Maybe it will speed up the settling process. Im mainly doing this for the ride quality , my coils are pretty shot and ive noticed at least 1.5" drop in height in less than a year.My front now is at 37.5" ground to center fender and rear 37" so i should be a good 3" taller when its all said and done than i am now
