Thanks! That makes sense. I’m going to order some and put them on. Great Forum.
Thanks Again!

The rubber bushing and washer should have came with the struts in the hardware bag, along with a new top nut. You will not be able to install a new bushing, washer and nut without compressing the spring and strut.
 
Any black Friday sales?
I'm looking at getting these to help with the ride but I will also want to add some new coils to give me a bit more of a lift.

How hard are these to install on your own?

Thanks

The install is certainly something you can do yourself, but it all depends on what your mechanical ability is and your access to tools/equipment. The springs/strut is under a great deal of compression, so caution must be used... You can find instructions on the forum. I installed both front and rear 5100s with Cornfed spacers in rear solo in my garage. Without a spring compressor.
 
The original P rated Dunlop 265/70/17 tires on my 2018 TRD ORP are done and I am considering replacing them with either:

1. Falken P rated 265/70/17's alone, or

2. Falken LT C rated 275/70/17's with Bilstein 5100's front and rear.

The local 4WP shop tech has been very helpful and is suggesting that for what I want (minimal lift, better ride on/off road) I should consider going the second route and using Bilstein coils for a 1" lift in the rear and adjusting the front 5100's to level out the ride (at about 2-2.5"?).

What do you think? I will try to attach 2 pages of the proposed invoice with details of the parts and the pricing. Do you think the labor is too high? I am in California! LOL

Thanks for your help with this decision!

We wanted to share a Quick Update on Bilstein 5100's.

The Rear 5100's, Part #33-187174, are currently on Manufacturer Backorder.

The production facility in Ohio was shut down for a few weeks, but opened
up last week and started resuming production.

We shipped out our last stock of 5100's over the weekend.

We hope to have these back In-Stock and Ready to Ship in the next couple of
weeks at the latest.

Bilstein has always been good at spreading out availability to Distributors and Authorized
Dealers, so we could see limited availability start arriving at anytime while they work on
getting stock levels back to normal.

We look forward to sharing details on availability and shipping as we hear from Bilstein.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

I installed Bilstein 5100's in my rig, along with Bilstein springs. every time I go over a bump, there is a clunk coming from them, both sides. I have them at 2", yes they are assembled correctly, and its a KDSS model 4runner. factory UCA's. any ideas?
 
Hi all! Going to go for a 1.75" front / 1" rear setup. Pretty much settled on the 5100's for the shocks and front lift, but I'm still debating on what to do for the rear.

Can anybody chime in on if going for new coils over spacers is worth the extra money for the rear? 1" spacers are $100 or so, and new coils would be about double that (looking at Dobsons C59-505, ~$190). I don't do super serious offroading, but do occasionally find myself down some rough trails.

Any other recommendations would be appreciated!

So I debated putting a spacer in the rear but in the end decided to pay $190 and purchased a Dobinson 1” spring. I wanted to completely change out the stock suspension and the wife really liked the teal springs. Will install them today. I also decided to purchase the front Dobinson 1.75” spring as well. The 4Runner doesn’t see much off roading so can’t help you there. But as a Jeep owner, we always say, don’t fear the spacer
 
Shout out to total automotive performance. They were super helpful and quick to reply with any questions or changes I had when ordering my 5100’s and Dobinson springs. Thanks again!
