Level kit advice
Just got a used 16 t4r and am stoked. I live in a condo with a 6"6 clearance. I want to level the front. I was told to go billstein 5100s in the front. Can I leave the back stock? My friend just did 2/1 and it looks great, but he used upcountry spacers and I was told that spacers are not the way to go. Can I go 2 up front and stock in the back? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I don't know much about lifts etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Oh and I was going to throw on some 275s. Thoughts?

I'm all stock, not leveled, i like the rake and stock shocks. From researching before I replaced my shocks, It seemed like front 5100's set at the first perch (.85) seems to be the common setting to level. I would think leaving the stocks in the back would be fine. Re-aim your headlights after you level. These are all things I've read and can easily be found by searching on the forum. Welcome and Good luck!

Try this topic. Bilstein combo should not add height to the back according to the topic. Ordered a lift! Bilstein 6112/5100 combo

I did 0.85 in front and stock in the rear. I have air bags at 5 psi. don't think they give any lift. It looks like this:

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to search more before asking the question. It's a lot to sort through but I learn unexpected things while searching for something completely different.

That's perfect! It's not too high and would fit in my condo. I'll either do what you did or go 1.85 front with 1 inch spacer in the back. Thanks bro
