What front springs for Bilstein 5100's? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Flybynight · 12-28-2020, 03:36 PM

My rig is a 2006 and has front spring sag, should I just get new replacement springs or is there another set-up that works better with these struts? I also ordered the 5100's for the rear and am leaving it stock height, really just want the front brought up level.

Will depend on if you want to add weight like bumper/winch. If not, just replace with Moogs that are rated for your vehicle and use the 3rd notch (should be around 2" of lift) and call it good. If you want to use less of the preload on the 5100 you could probably just order the v8 spring set (if you have a v6) and get some extra lift and stiffness that way.

Yes its a V8 limited, no bumpers or anything will be added. I've located Moogs replacements for the front. Just go with those?

If you are getting the 5100's for the front then that's what I would do. You are getting refreshed (new) springs and then having the ability to set the height you desire with the clip position.

Please add the part number for the Moogs if you don't mind, I'm going through the same process as you right now. Thanks!

(don't quote me on the 3rd notch, I need to verify that, that is just what came to mind)
