Bilstein 5100’s and LC coils

I am replacing my suspension set up and have LC coils to go in the rear and Tundra springs up front with 5100’s all around.

My question is what perch should I use on the front 5100’s to get a minimal rake? I also have a 1” spacer for the front coils if needed.

How many wraps are the LC coils?

Pretty sure this info is around - did you try the alternate search methods listed in the "sticky"?

It's not recommended to go past 3" of lift in the front (I think the 3rd perch on tundra 5100s with tundra coils)
 
Whether u got the tundra or t4r bilsteins u shuld keep them on the lowest perch,if u go any higher youll have too much lift and youll blow the shocks and itll be super stiff,i only have my front done right now,but they are on the bottom perch with toytec eibach springs,it gave it alot of lift,for the rear id suggest using the spacers,depending on what wrap coil you have

Not true - otherwise I would have a stiff riding 4runner with blown out shocks, which I don't.

LC coils:
2WD = 7 wrap = about 3.5"
4WD = 8 wrap = about 4.5"
4WD SE = 9 wrap = about 5.5"

Tundra TRD spring on the Tundra struts will get you 2.5ish" on the second clip from the bottom. Each notch gains you about .66". I would not go above the 3rd notch.
 
Very true,depending on weight in the front and whether u get tundra or 4runner bilsteins,but my buddy blew thru 2 pairs of 5100s on the 2nd perch,(t4r billys)was also stiff,im playing it safe on the bottom perch then again i have lift coils too so if i went higher it wuld suck,theres so many different applications its really plug and play imo..listen to rkntoy tho,he definitely knows wats up

Have had mine on the third perch for two years with zero issues other than torn CV boots. Tundra 5100s w/Tundra coils and a plate front bumper w/winch.

Even with the shortest LC coils you're going to have a pretty good rake. I had them and thought it looked like a stinkbug. Went to OME 891 instead.
 
They are 8 wrap LC coils.

The tundra shocks and springs will give approx 2.5” and a 1.5" spacer should get me close then? Assuming I leave it on the 2nd perch form the bottom of the strut?

Regardless of what perchh you set the 5100s, the LCs will most likely be higher of a lift. I have tundras up front on 2nd perch with a 1.5" spacer, and its still shorter then the rear with LC 8.25 wraps
 
If by "close"- you mean a blown out front end- yes.
Our rigs are not fond of 4" of lift on the stock arms, BJs, TREs, CVs, etc.
You first said you have a 1" spacer, then you asked about a 1.5" spacer.
Just to clarify- how thick is the 1" spacer you have?
I highly recommend not going above the 2nd setting up from the bottom on your 4Runner 5100 shocks.
