Another Bilstein 5100 question

Yesterday I had my Bilstein 5100's installed. I went with the 2.5" setting up front and added a Daystar 1.5" spacer in the rear. Ditched the stock Dunflop tires for 275/70R17 KO2's.
MAJOR improvement in looks and ride quality!! No more major nose dive during breaking and it soaks up bumps better. Absolutely zero rub and I get to leave the mud flaps on!
I was worried about it looking "goofy" with that amount of lift on 275's, but I actually love the look!!
Looks sweet. Does anyone know the part# for the correct daystar 1.5 spacer for the 5th gen? So many options on amazon. Looking to raise mine from 1.75 to 2.5. Thanks.

you asked it anyone was running 1.75"/1.5" and I was just saying for reference someone was but used SAW coils. with that said, coils have a higher spring rate that can yield more lift and hold stable under load

These 2895E coils and 10mm trim packer should compliment my 5100 setup rather nicely! SO STOKED.

Anyone interested I listed my brand new Cornfed 1.5" rear spacers. Totally unused.

After 5 posts in 5 separate threads in one day including the For Sale one, yes, I believe the word is out that you have a pair of Cornfed spacers for sale....... :deadhorse:

My wife said I need to sell them before I buy the new "springy things" I want. I can't argue. I just ordered my Gobi stealth today, too bad it's going to take 8-12 weeks to get here. But they threw in a free ladder and took $100 for the Fire/Police/Military discount.

So, I've got TRD wheels with 275/70/17 KO2s on and I have Bilstein 5100s and daystar that I'm planning on setting at 2.5" up front with the 1.5" spacer in back.
My question is this: I bought 1.25" Spidertrax and I'm curious what to expect in the rubbing department? Or should I leave them off?
I have spidertrax on my 4th gen and the rubbing was a pain to fix. Thanks!

Not a great pic but I did some flexing with my 5100 + OME coils the other day. Super happy with the way it handled.

Which OME coils are you running, F/R?
I have the 5100s and am looking to add OME springs.

Any spacers in the rear?

This rig looks amazing! I'm new on this forum. And I'm not sure if I'm posting correctly. I came across the the problem of installing the 5100 Bilstein 2.5 inch front and stock on the back. I now have a nose high lift. Which I dislike. Do you like the Daystar 1.5 spacers? any problems?
I'm trying to find out the best way to fix the problem. Would coil overs be a more durable option than spacers?
Yeah, what he said ^^^^?
What happens with this set up when you are loaded up and/or pulling a trailer with couple hundred pounds tongue weight?

Anyone rolling with 285/70/18s? Bought a 4runner with these installed but I'm 99% sure it doesn't have a lift. With the wheel cut all the way I have about 1/4 inch to the fender.
I'm wanting to do 5100s set at 2.5 with 2" Toytec super flex coils in the rear. Any recommendations or issues I'll run in to? I wouldn't mind putting some spidertrax spacers on the wheels to sit them out slightly as well.

So I'm going to get 1.75 in the front and a 1.5 in Daystar spacer in the back installed tomorrow. I know someone asked last page in the thread but there was no real answer. Will I have any issues with the rear? It says I will be ass high but does that effect anything?

5100s, 1.5" rear spacer - Cooper 255/80R17
This is 5100s all around (2.5" front) and Daystar 1.5" rear. I can't see why 1.75" and 1.5" would cause a problem. You will be "ass high" as you say.
