Last question. How long do they take to settle fully?

Just wondering when I can redo my alignment and decide if I need to shim or not.

Usually after a month of driving they would be settled, about 1000 miles.

It's Christmas already! I finally ordered black 302/505 springs for the 2.5/1.5 lift setup. I'm going to pair this with my Bilsteins and a new set of 285 KO2s and the shiny 8.5" Ray10's in brushed copper sitting in my garage. The springs and new shoes should arrive next week. I also verified that I still have lifetime alignment with Firestone so that should save me some bucks on the install. I can't wait!!

A big thank you to Mike @Dobinsons!

It's going on this weekend. I'll leave my thoughts then.

So my current set up is TRD pro wheels with stock tires. I have Bilstien 5100 all around and max height on the front and a daystar spacer 1.5 in the rear. I’m also running spidertrax 1.25 spacers. If I want the same lift should I go with 302/505 springs for the 2.5/1.5? I don’t want to buy UCAs. But I would like to upgrade my tires later.

Yes, those would be the correct coils to use front and rear, as long as it's all stock weight.

Sorry for what I'm sure is a very common setup question, but I can't seem to locate the answer.

2015 non kdss and want to run 3" ish front and 2-2.5" rear. (If that makes for a good stance?)

Will have 285 K02s on 17x8, backspace of 4.1, offset -10 (countersteer type x)

Will have SPC UCAs.

Want to avoid BMC if at all possible. Okay with trimming and pushing liners.

Will likely add top rack (gobi or front runner 3/4) - No bumpers intended, no drawers.


Would this be the best kit setup below for a nice stance at the height desired?

FR coil = c59-302
FR shock = gs59-700
R coil = c59-325
R shock = gs59-705

w/ diff drop.


(do these require sway bar relocates?)

cheers!

Hey bud,

FR coil = c59-302
FR shock = gs59-574
R coil = c59-325
R shock = gs59-705

Use the GS59-574 to get you that 3" to 3.25" up front.

No, sway bar links aren't required, although on the rear they would help put the sway bar back into a stock operating angle to help with articulation a little better.

This will be a good stance, lots of guys on here are running that 3" front and 2" rear setup.

@caskew13 ....
I have the same setup except have 701 rear shock due to weight from 3rd row, sliders, etc. Been very happy with the setup.... ride and stance. You definitely will need your aftermarket UCA's.

Re-did the alignment today after a long off-roading trip. The technician got these numbers. Super pleased with the caster im getting from the UCAs.

Thanks so much. Any word on BMC with 285s at this lift? Is there a possibility it could settle into needing one after some time?

Awesome. I may go 701 as well considering the roof rack and possible sliders that I didnt consider until you mentioned it.

No regrets not having adjust-ability in the front?

I ordered a pair of c59-599 springs yesterday. Also a full set of bilsteins. Planning to go 1.75 setting on the billies up front and 599 rear springs with air lift bags in the back. Super stoked to try out these springs!

No regrets at all. No need as alignment came out great with UCA's, stance is good, ride is great. Also I am running 285's Wildpeaks and no BMC needed. Little close on the driver's side but OK. FWIW my wheels are are FN Pro's 17x8, 4.5" backspace, 0mm offset.
