Another Bilstein 5100 question

[ds4runner]

Assuming he used the same spacer I used for the rear, it is: Daystar KT09127BK Comfort Ride 1.5" Rear Coil Spring Spacer Kit

Thank you. What year and model are you running?

I have a 2011 SR5. Just had the 5100s installed at 2.5" and the 1.5" Daystar spacer in the rear along with wheels tires. The ride is incredible compared to how it felt before. No more nose dive or body roll. To me, this combination gives a great level look with a mild lift.

Set up

That is correct.

Perfect. So I can order that spacer for only $35 on Amazon. You don't happen to know who has rear 5100s in stock do you? Sounds like they are on backorder.

I heard they are a couple months away from being available

I'm really enjoying my 4Runner so far. I've been looking around on the forum if I need spacers in the rear if I install 5100's in the front and back. I know that there are millions of comments out there about it but I can't seem to find it. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction of where to find the information. Also, what will be the best height to set them for a DD and a little bit of off-roading. I want a little lift and I'm thinking around 1.75 all around.


Thanks

Thinking of putting these on my '06 4Runner. Confused about whether or not I'll need lift spacers in the rear to keep the lift consistent. Do you happen to know if outside the kit you need any other parts?

Only the fronts are height adjustable. The rear shocks won't provide any lift but can accommodate up to 2.5” via springs or spacers.

I bought the fronts from Total Automotive Performance and bought the rears on Ebay.

How do the OME's compare to the 5100's? For those who can't wait for the 5100's to come back in stock, toytec pairs the front 5100's with OME rears....the color difference would drive me nuts, personally....but my OCD doesn't help with that

 

[Yoderguy]

They aren't out of stock

The rear 5100's are out of stock/on back order per the toytec website.

Absolutely, if you watch there closely you can get great prices. The rears were on there for $80 last week. And fronts were $90. Just depends on the different sellers at the time

I promise Amazon is the only one with them in stock, so you should hop on that and order them while you still can. I spoke with over 12 off-road shops in my area and none of them knew when the rears would be back in stock.

My dealership has a waitlist going for bilstein 5100 rears.

Thank God for Amazon :usa2:

Supposedly Bilstein isn't sending out rears until the end of the year. Not positive but that's what I've heard.

I am on the hunt for rears as well, already have the fronts in. I ordered off Amazon, have to wait and see if they ship.
