Have 5100 all around installed on my 2012 SR5 4x4. Stock springs, front set at 0.85.
1. Now the nose dive issue is basically completely gone, even hitting brakes very hard, the front just sink a little bit, but absolutely not annoying like before.
2. The body roll during turning still exists. It is improved but certainly not as much as nose dive.
3. It’s a STIFF shock... My rear view mirror is shaken loose and makes shaking noise after installation. At first the tire was inflated to 38 psi, bumpy as hell. Then I lowered tire psi to 35 then 32 then 30, much better but I’m still getting used to it. I researched on forum and found that lots of people say FJ spring is better paired with 5100. Will FJ spring makes the ride more bumpy since the spring is more firm right?
4. Random rattle noise from front end. I heard a tiny rattle noise now and then from front end. It’s not loud at all, I can only hear it during mild accelaration from 20mph-40mph. It’s like a small bell ringing sound, I’m not sure if this is the best way to describe it. During the installation, ABS wire was stretched and replaced. Maybe the wire was not installed properly and makes noise? The mechanic who install the suspension said he cannot hear anything (of course) and they offer no warranty on customer supplied parts, so I have to diagnose the cause myself, any feedback is appreciated!
