Bilstein 5100 1.75 Setting

[4runnerjl]

Does anyone have pictures of a 2006-2009 4th Gen with Bilstein 5100 set at 1.75 on the front, and stock springs? I am currently at .85 setting but want to raise the front to the next setting. Thanks

search back for my thread in the wheel and tire thread. I had pics of mine with just the stock springs set 1.75". I'd search for you, but even if I found the thread I cant see pics on my work PC

Thanks Man, I searched high and dry and cant find your post. Well, from experience, was it nose high with that setup or was it pretty level? I am using stock size tires with limited wheels. 265/60R18. Thanks

I thought it might have been a little nose high. I ended up adding a 1" rear spacer and its got a little too much rake. I personally think 1.75" upfront with 0.25"-0.5" would be just right. At this point im just too lazy to take the suspension apart again.

The ome rear trim packer us pretty cheap and should give you just under .5", just saying.

Best thing to do is use a jack under the front/center. Measure the current height, then use the jack to raise the front 1". Then step back and see how you like it.

Here's a pic of mine at 1.75 setting. It's an '05 V8. I liked it at that setting, it was almost perfectly level but the lines on these runners make it look nose high. I think I had about .5" rake. I also had FJC coils on there. This pic was taken right after we did the install. I wanna say it settled a little but not much.

I have an 03' Limited V8 and want to put 5100's at 1.75 and thinking 883 OME springs. I do NOT want to replace UCA's but am anal about having my 4runner aligned correctly as well as add real off road performance without stressing other components. Is this possible? (even without replacing UCA's?)
If so, what is the best spring combo with 5100's set at 1.75?

I am riding 265/60/18 with no intention to change. (maybe up to 265/70/18 someday) Also have 3/16" steel weld on sliders-- I'm hoping this combo on my v8 limited will add roughly 1.5 inches of lift. I would prefer the car to be level (if not close)
