KDSS W/ Billstein 5100's and 285/70/17
Hey all... Does anyone know if the Billstein 5100's are compatible with the Trail Edition's KDSS system?
My plan is to run those on all 4 corners with the fronts set to the 2nd setting (0.85") and throw a set of Duratrac 285/70/17's on the stock rims.
Someone warned me that the 285's could get awfully close to the UCA's and was wondering if anyone has seen any rubbing with this configuration or if everyone has been replacing the UCA's?

I just installed the 5100s all the way around on my '11 Trail with KDSS. Front set at .85. I'm running the stock tires and wheels for now. I think you'll still need to do the front fender liner mod if you want to run 285s.

No complaints so far. Love the look being leveled and no nosedive. There is a before and after pic here:

Here are some pics of the Duratrac 285/70/17's on stock rims and stock height on the TE. Billstein 5100 installation next week.
So far only a tiny amount of rubbing on the Mud Flap (I did the front fender Mod). My plan is to have them add some caster when they do the alignment after installing the 5100's

I'm having my 5100s installed tomorrow with 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country AT/II, E load. I'm going with the 1.75 setting in front and a 1.5" Daystar spacer on the rear driver side.
Anyone know of any downside to only doing the one spacer? I of course have both but someone had measured it out to mostly correct the drivers side lean.

Mine are in. Remeasured and there wasn't enough lean to matter so I put both spacers in.
Pics on the lifted thread.
