Converting bilstein 5100 adj to threaded adjustable

Anyone convert their Bilstein 5100 adjustables to the fully adjustable/threaded/spanner type? I know toytec sells a complete set but I was thinking about trying something like this:

I don't need the full package with coils but it would be nice to be able to change it up when the new bumper gets put on. I haven't found any info on just the threaded parts to convert them over.
TIA.

Interesting... but I think I would pass on it. It just seems like adding complexity and increasing potential for issues.

I like the pre-set height perches on the 5100 and 6112. It actually makes to less drama during install. Set it and forget it.
 
Got the Demello bumper on and I guess the FJ springs might still be a little soft for the added weight, so I went ahead and got the Toytec coil over conversion kit with stiffer toytec springs, the 650# I believe. Called them and they set up a package for me, super helpful.

I'm excited to hopefully be pulling them apart for the last time to adjust them, only a spanner wrench from now on!
 
How are you liking the toytec coilover sleeves? I was looking to get them also for whenever i get a bumper also but went ahead and got 6112/5160. Now my 5100s are collecting dust.
