Follow up:. Decided to go with the coils on the lowest Bilstein setting. Ended up with 2.5-2.75 inches after settling. They look great and drive great. CV angles look good according to the shop, so I skipped diff drop. Thanks for your help! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Thanks again! You've made up my mind. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

That helps. I think I might set the Bilstein at 0. Was that 2 inches after settling? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I have read a ton on this topic, but can't come to a solid conclusion. I am currently running the Bilstein 1500s at 1.75". I have since purchase the Eibach coils (112-620) and am having them installed Tuesday. I like the way my 4runner sits now, and if anything, I wouldn't mind gaining a tad...

Brand Loyalty I am loyal to Toyota and not afraid to say it. Not because of resale, longevity, etc (although those things are nice), but because Toyota has stood behind their product for me in the past. I had a Tacoma a few years back that had a bad cv joint at 65K miles (out of warranty)...

Bilstein's work I have the Bilsteins up front (set at 1.75) and it helped a great deal. Probably won't help as much set lower (0, 0.85).

I went with tires (BFG A/T, 265, load C) and bilsteins for level. Not only does it look better, the ride is awesome. Nose dive:gone. Boat-like steering: gone. Severe lean in curves: gone. About 1500 for the goods/install! I also looked at the Coopers, but the BFGs were actually cheaper.

Thanks! Thank you for the reassurance. I confirmed that I do indeed have the correct rear shocks, and I have noticed a little settling already. Hoping for closer to 1.75 as stated above. I'll let you all know if I run into any issues!

Need some quick reassurance. I just had the following lift installed: Bilstein 5100 front (1.75 inch lift) and rear Bilstein 5100 with OME 895e coils (net 2.25 inches of lift). I have not had any issues in the 1 day of driving with this setup; however, I am worried that the rear Bilsteins will...

I also measured my frame height today...perfectly level at 11.5 inches. This look is exactly what I want, but again, any sort of load and I'm a$$ end low. Back on my search for some stiffer springs and slightly more rake. Another question...any chance I will get less lift from springs since I...

Good question! Eric here at SoCal suspensions in San Diego took care of the order (I think he has a local manufacturer that he works with). I did not order online. I just measured for the heck of it: appx 36 1/2 front and 37 1/2 rear to top of fenders (on stock tires). I am sure the rear 1.5...

Thanks for the info...i won't be going to 285's, so I hope there was some setling!

895e I am also interested in the ride quality, total lift, and amount of settling with the 895e. Hoping for 1.75" in the rear.
