Bilstein 5100s with rear spacer and adjusted front - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Do I need to add anything to my cart?

T he xreas is shot in my 04 V8 Limited. 160k

My plan is to pull it and use the 5100s front and rear. I'm overall mechanical but ignorant of truck suspensions.

Is this a solid plan? Anything else I should replace while I am there?

Raise the front 2.5" with the Bilstein, raise the rear 1.5" with the bilstein and spacer.

I get a level truck with 1.5" overall lift?

Also should mention that I have aftermarket air bags in the back for transporting a 400 pound motorcycle on a hitch hauler.

Were you going to get different front springs?

I guess that is why I'm posting here. I thought I only had to change the height on the Bilstein?

I love the bilstein 5100 set with the 0-2.5" front adjustable - but, my truck has no rear weight and the 1.8" springs gave me lift with factory looking rake. I like level, so sold the B12 special rear springs and put in Moog OEM height. sits perfect. you may want the springs that come in the kit with any load. Best 500-600 you can spend.
