Bilstein/eibach/lift question
Having read through countless threads on bilsteins/eibach’s/etc I’m needing some help. Have a 2020 4Runner venture that I decided to go conservative on with just a bilstein 5100 level to start, with intentions on upgrading further down the line. Wanted the bilstein set to the 1.75” setting with nothing in the rear. The shop ended up setting it at the max height so now I’m pretty significantly front high. They have agreed to reset it for me in a couple of weeks.
My question is this, I do like the stance set at 2.5” and the ride quality has been fine, other than being nose high. I began searching for options for the back to level it out and found the eibach lift kit that’s 2.75” front and 1” rear that most say is level. Do I just throw the eibach or more 5100’s on the rear with a 1-1.5” coil on the rear and call it good? I know a lot of people complain about the bilsteins at the top height setting and my preference if I was going this route would have been just use the entire eibach kit. Is the ride quality of the eibachs or another kit that uses the spring for the lift that much better than the bilstein at the top setting?
I guess I have 3 options, let them reset it to 1.75” and go on, add 1-1.5” spring and shocks to the rear, or buy a kit like eibach and start from scratch. Any insight with experience with the different lifts is appreciated. The truck has <2k miles so I wasn’t really wanting to do UCA’s and my initial intention was to just level and keep it close to stock. Now I’m not sure as I like the stance at 2.5”.
