Bilstein 5100 @ 1.75 with .4" OME rear? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

jdSnake · 04-30-2021, 08:53 PM

Has anyone tried this set up? Got both on the way and was initially planning to run the bilsteins at .85 with the .4 spacers in the rear bc I like the rake but if this would give me a slight rake at 1.75 I might try that. Thanks for any insight.

Just my opinion, if you go 1.75” in the front, I think you’ll want to go .75” or 1”in the rear.

I have 1.75 lift in the front with .5 in the rear. With no weight, it sits perfectly level with maybe a .5 rake measured at the top of wheel wells. Any amount of load in the back drops it to a reverse rake. I originally had 1” spacers in the rear and thought it was too much forward rake (1.5-1.25 depending on side/fuel) so I switched to .5 spacers. Really wish I had gone .75. When I hook up to my empty utility trailer, I get reverse rake.

I have a .75” rear spring and 1.75” in the front. I wouldn’t want the back lower than it is.

This is mine with 5100s all around set at 1.75 in the front with a corn fed 1inch in the back. Love it when its unloaded. When it is loaded the rear sags a bit. Currently looking to get stiffer springs.

When you say loaded, do you mean trip to the grocery store loaded or 12 bags of mulch loaded?

And when you say sags a bit, does it sag enough to give it a negative rake?

Thanks fellas. This is what I was imagining and not looking for in my set up. I’ll go with the .85 front and the .4 spacers in the rear for now and get springs to lift it higher at some point down the road.

with a RTT, 2 dogs, girlfriend, and camping gear I have a slight bit of reverse rake. Not terrible but noticeable. 12 bags of mulch would still have me level. groceries don't affect it.

I am going with Bilstein 6112s @ 1.6 in the front and .75 spacer rear. Hope for a little rake.
If they ever get here so I can get them installed.

Get it close to level and add air bags. I'm at 0.85 in front, nothing in the rear. Looks almost level. When carrying a load or trailer, I pump up the air bags.

Looks good!

I've got my 5100's ready to be installed with Cornfed 1/2" rear spacers. I'm going to go with 0.85" in the front and the spacers in the rear.

I have this setup. Zero complaints. That is, your original question 1.75 & .4 OME spacers. Actually I have the eibach's

Got my 5100s today!! (Thanks TAP!).

Now, it sounds like I probably am gonna need a spacer for the rears. I'd originally thought I'd just go .85" right now, but I'm really considering 1.75" now and 265 A/T tires.
