Rate my suspension picks - good choice or no?
So I've bitten the bullet and made some choices. Am I barking up the right tree or have I made a mistake?
Front: Bilstein 5100s paired with OME 844 and JBA STD UCAs
Rear: Bilstein 5100s paired with toytec superflex rear coils
Just don't tell my wife :pray: I was just going to get the front shocks replaced, but with springs you really gotta balance out the rear so might as well replace those shocks while I'm at it.
The thought is to make a weekend warrior setup that will improve off-roading while not making a terrible daily driver ride.

How much lift you going for? How much extra Weight will you be carrying? What type of off roading?

If my numbers are correct, the springs are rated for 3" of lift up front and the springs in the rear provide 2" of lift. I'm not doing anything drastic, just an improvement over stock.
As for offroading, again nothing drastic but easy-moderate stuff locally.

Just put that similar setup on my son's 4 runner. It works great on the road and not bad off the road on rough fire roads

Looking for something similar. I am concerned about a harsher ride then stock.

I have OME shocks and 885's in the front, and bilstiens and superflex in the rear. I went with 885's because I have the V8. It's a little firmer than stock but not harsh.

This how it sits with a full size spare hanging off the back.

I've got everything but the JBA control arms due to material shortages at manufacturer level. I'll be doing the work over the weekend and hopefully the UCA arrive this week while I'm off. Looking forward to getting everything done and aligned. I'll post before and after pics too.

I know a lot of people run Bilsteins with OME springs, but I would suggest OME shocks if you can -- they are valved to match their springs and they are beeefy
