Whats up everyone. This is my first post on here. Bilstein 5100's all around set at 2.5 in front and using a 1" spacer in the rear to bump it a little bit. Just got my new 17" VTX Viper wheels mounted with Nitto Ridge Grappler 285's today and couldn't be more stoked with how it looks and rides. There was some trimming necessary in order to get the 285's to work, but it wasn't as much as I would have thought.

I know you posted years ago, but I purchased the same exact parts as you did. 5100s with a 1 inch spacers in the rear for my 08 4runner. Haven’t installed it yet. Did 2.5 inch lift in the front make the ride too harsh? Thanks man.

Yes it's a "Toyota" factory color, but don't confuse it with Chevrolet/GMC who also has a "pacific blue metallic" which is much different, and much darker and a different shade of blue.

So if you're trying to find it or touch up paint be sure to specify "Toyota Pacific Blue Metallic"

Advice

I have an 08 sport. Please help me decide. I’m on a budget and already have billstein 5100s ready to be installed.

1. Should I just go 1.75 front with a .75 rear spacer? Tires would be 275/70/17.

2. Should I got up to 2.5 front with a 1.5 spacer rear? Tires 285.

I don’t off-road at all, sort of wanting 285s, but don’t want to do a bmc or have ucas. Any advice? Ideas?

I know there are others on this forum far more knowledgeable than me in this space, but I’ll give you my thoughts…. I worked through this myself recently. If you you definitely want to stay away from UCAs and don’t want to get into the BMC, I would go with the 275/70/17.
I added Dobinsons equipment and got to 2.5, and I just wasn’t happy with the vehicles tracking on the hwy. especially coming out of a corner accelerating, and I believe that unweighted tire was tucking in even more and had not enough caster. Not until I added UCAs and realigned getting as much Caster as I could was I satisfied. I’ve been trying to be $ aware also. I added Freedom UCAs and am satisfied now and sit at the 2.5. But still will run 275 because I also don’t want to get into the BMC

If you want to manage the budget and have no issues I’d go with the 275/70/17 tires. If you’re running the billstiens and willing to do the work you could go higher in the front and if you don’t like it just bring it down to the 1:5. But I believe the 285s are going to force you to do more modifications, and thus dollars OR just drive straight

Can you post pics of the install? Did you take before/after measurements?

Yes pictures help. Commonly either the coil is installed upside down or the lower coil mount is upside down.

I put OME883 springs up front with the Billstein 5100s. Got about 2.25" lift and run 275s. Stock UCAs. Stock rims. No rubbing other than the front mud/dust cover thing.

Put the Eibach springs in the rear. Needed about 3/4" spacer in the rear to correct the lean.

Bilstein 5100s OME 886/896 BFG KO2 285/70/17

03 sr5 v8 4wd
1. Bilstein 5100s with OME lift coils front/rear 886/896 roughly 3" front and 2.5" rear lift.
2. BFG all terrain KO2s 285/70/17 on 2018 4runner wheels
3. Absolutley love the results and would'nt do anything different besides put a bumper on the front with the 886 OME coils, for the cost this lift has been great. I have essentially no rubbing besides the stupid plastic bumper dust guard which I cut off.
