Tacoma install
Has anyone done the Tacoma swap using a Bilstein 6100 kit? I assume it yields the same 1.25"-1.5" front lift from just the springs but want to confirm.
Thanks

You'll want either a winch or a come along to get the existing one on the trailer, unless there is a small grade and you can pick up a tiny bit of speed to roll up onto the trailer.
wrong thread...

I have Tacoma fronts (4600's) on mine, any lift yielded comes from the springs normally, with 5100's etc that have adjustable spring perches making up for a little more lift as well.

Are you looking at buying new Tacoma specific stuff, or is there someone selling a used Tacoma setup that you're looking to install on your 4R?

I have tacoma springs now on 5100's and it's ok. I want to swap to 6100's and figured I could keep the tacoma part numbers to avoid having to max out the height on the 6100's.
I think the 5100's function better when set to zero or minimal lift. Hoping 6100's do better.
