Bilstein 5100 lift question

[ProfessorChaos]

I have looked through many posts to try and figure this out before posting but haven't found anything to give me a definite answer. My knowledge is also very limited on this. About 2 weeks ago I had 4 bilstein 5100s installed and the front were supposed to be set on the highest setting. Reused the stock springs. On the rear I had the daystar 1 1/2 spacer put on. Now to me the front looks a little higher but not 2 1/2 inches higher and also it still looks lower than the rear which I thought it would be level after installation. Now I am thinking about having new springs put on the front. From what I've read the OME 884 are the way to go. I've also seen on toytec website the ADJUSTABLE FRONT COIL OVER KIT FOR BILSTEIN SHOCKS is also supposed to add up to a 3 inch lift. Finally my question. Would either of these add any more lift to the front or are the bilsteins already giving me all I'm gonna get? The pic is with the bilstein 5100s and daystar rear. Thank you for any input and help. It is greatly appreciated.

lift springs and the toytec kit is going to provide more than what you have now. your stock springs have probably sagged a bit over the years and likely aren't capable of giving the advertised 2.5 inches with the bilsteins. best way to tell would be to take before and after hub-fender measurements

I have the same lift and the back sits 1" higher than the front. If you go with some different coils you will get more lift but if you haven't already you will need to swap out the UCA as you are very close to it's limit right now. If you go with that option then you may as well buy yourself a whole kit be it from Icon or Radflo or wherever and be done with it. The Bilstein coilovers are the same thing you have now as far as a shock goes, they are just in a coilover setup so you can adjust them to desired height. You may be able to eak another 1/2 inch or so out of them, but as stated above you risk your UCA. It all depends on your wallet. You could get the cheap UCA's and some lift springs and be good, or you could spend a little more and go with a full kit. Decisions decisions.

Get a set of OME 883 or 884 front springs set on the second notch up and Toytec rear springs ...call it a day.
