I’m under the impression that Bilstein does NOT make a coil that will pair with my 5100s for the front(have to use 6112s or something?)……..Am I mistaken?!? I would love to stick with ALL Bilstein components, but I thought that is not possible with a 5100 set of 4. I have rear Bilstein...

So you used stock toyota front springs in conjunction with your 5100s in the front(not rear)?!? Then set the circlip on top setting to get your 2.5” lift?!? That is what I’m trying to get input on……..whether or not to do it that way OR keep front 5100s on lowest(zero lift) setting along...

Thanks for input! What front springs did you use with your 6112s(stock or aftermarket??…..longer or stock-length??) My Bil rear springs(324s) are rated to raise it 1.5”, but I’ve read they “settle in” closer to 1”…..Don’t know if that was accurate info. I figure if I get a 1.75” lift in...

^^^This! Get Dr Bronner’s Magic Soap-Peppermint(got my bottle at Target) and mix a little in with water and spray on pads or whatever to place in engine bay. Soap has peppermint oil in it. I also made a perimeter spray around the ground underneath my cars. Gotta “refresh” it all about once a...

What Bilstein front springs did you use with your 5100s?!? I’ve looked and looked for a Bilstein front spring option to use with my 5100s, but everything I’ve found says they don’t fit or that they pair with some other Bilstein shock(6112?) only. I would love to stick with ALL Bilstein...

Does anyone have any constructive input on whether to go with stock springs/5100s on say 3rd ring to get approx 1.75” lift….OR…….getting longer-than-stock(1.75” lift) Dobinsons/5100s on lowest ring? I have new rear Bilstein springs(give approx 1.5rear lift above stock) and am trying to figure...

What springs are you using with front 5100s? And what perch setting are they on(lift?)?!? I’m swapping out my Xreas for 5100s…..torn on what springs to use with fronts(stock with higher perch or longer springs with bottom perch). Did you go with stock rear spring or different one...

I’m planning on removing my Xreas and putting on 5100s. It doesn’t look too hard to remove it all(utube vid tutorial). I have all components already(5100 full set, KYB mounts, bilstein B12(824s-1.5” lift for rear) and I’m trying to sort out what kind of springs to get for front and am lost. Done...

Weird about the Duracells not working…….I replaced mine with Duracells and they work, but I HAVE had instances with truck saying FOB batt low, replace batt and there’s no way it’s low after a month or two of use. Very strange. Steve

My ‘19 Limited has SK16 iridiums(just changed them at 98K, truck was still running great!). Steve

Sounds like the “itch” vibration sound of a body panel or closeout. Check all fasteners around entire area(drivers door/engine compartment/etc). Also, there are usually drain channels on each side of windshield for water runoff……maybe a stick or leaf is caught up in there, or just around area...

Hi all, Interesting! I’ve noticed this as well, with my 2019 Ltd. I smell it more when idling/coasting downhill, for instance. Steve
