I had hoped to not have to re-invent the wheel but I didn't get the answers I needed, so I rolled the dice...I bought 4 Bilstein 5100's, set the fronts to +1.75" lift, no spacers on the rear. It lifted the front 2" and leveled the truck perfectly. I have a V8 so the same setup on a V6 may...

Thanks. I may set it at .85 and do nothing in the rear. But if I decide to go 1.75 on the front what spacers do I need? Also, I know front spacer thickness results in actual height twice as high, but I thought the advertised Bilstein heights of .85, 1.75 etc was the end result height. Are you...

Thanks for the replies. Please allow me to rephrase my question. I'm installing Bilstein 5100's on the front. I am not installing larger tires and not replacing springs. I want it level (no rake forward or rearward). What rear spacer will I need if the front 5100's are set at 1.75"? How...

Need advice 2008 4.7L V8 SR5 4x4 I was all set to buy strut spacers to raise and level it out, but my original front struts are leaking. Since I need struts I thought I'd go with Bilstein 5100's which are height adjustable in front, but the rears are not. If the setting choices are 0, .85"...

As far as I know their fine. I'm the original owner. The truck has done this since new. A buddy told me it might be the traction control toggling the ABS after sensing wheel spin but I don't think so. I mean why would it have such power sometimes then be kind of so-so others?

I'd like to get rid of the forward rake, basically I want my V8 4WD 4Runner to sit like a stock Tacoma 4x4. I don't plan on buying bigger tires until these wear out, and when I do maybe only an inch taller. Will an inexpensive spacer kit get me there, and will spacer installation require a...

I finally pulled the trigger on the Sprint Booster. OK, it removes all the bog / lag, but that's all. I guess that alone was worth $290 as the lag is annoying when trying to merge in traffic. The vehicle should have come this way from the factory instead of the heavy sponge under the pedal...

Thanks Chaz. Do you have personal experience with this item? DG

I have 2008 SR5 V8 4WD. 60,400 miles. Sometimes its very quick, sometimes it's not, and it has lag when I hit the throttle. It's been this way since new. I asked the dealer about this and was told it's the drive by wire causing it. Is there a fix? I've read ads that appear in Google...
