Can you run bilstein 5100s (D558) with stock coil for leveling

[yota_addict]

I know the lift question has been beaten to death but I still haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Can you run bilstein 5100s (D558) with stock coil for leveling or possibly 2" lift? I have bilsteins front and back on my 06 Tacoma and like the ride. It seems a little less straight forward to setup my 97 4Runner. I'm trying to replace all worn suspension parts and at the same time level or possibly achieve 2" lift to avoid rub with 265/75r16 tires. Any help appreciated.

Yep just move the c clip up 3 leves and you'll get the desired height

You can, I have them on mine at the highest setting for a little over 2" of lift.

And I run 265/75 16s with no rubbing.

What are you running in the rear? Stock coil and shocks?

Im running Taco 5100s with oem 99 coils on the middle of the three settings on my 98 4runner. The 99 coils sit about .5" higher than the stock 98 coils, and setting them on the middle ring preloads them to add another 1" or so. So Im probably sitting right at 2" over stock height. Keep in mind that all a 5100 does is add lift by preloading the coils, and preloading the coils will make the ride stiffer. The more you preload the stiffer it will become. Im actually planning on dropping mine down to the bottom perch because I dont like how stiff it rides at stock weight

Yes you can use your stock coils with the front 5100's. I have mine set to the 2nd perch and as for the rear I'm running 5125's off a tacoma with a 1.5inch spacer

What are you running in the rear? Stock coil and shocks?
