Lift Decision Paralysis

Purchased the front and rear Bilstein 5100s for $336 with free shipping through AutoAnything. Was a bit skeptical as their site says they are in stock. Called them up, the guy said they take a week to ship, they valve them at Bilstein then send them out? Anyway that's what he said. There is a 10% off coupon for them use AA10. Then picked up the OME 10mm rear spacers from Wheelers. Super excited!

Congrats on your new setup! I've been going thru it also trying to decide on a suspension upgrade for my '14 Sr5. Did you get the trim packers to lift the rear or level something out? Also is Bilstein custom valving your shocks to your specifications? I along with everyone else am wanting to lessen the nose dive and body roll.

Trim packers are to lift the rear slightly to keep a bit of rake. This way the end isnt lower than the front when there is weight in the back. Bilstein valves the shocks to our specific vehicle generation, I'm not aware of any valving you can have done to your personal specs. Unless you step up to re buildable shocks such as Icon, King, etc. They shipped yesterday, so front 5100s are back in stock!

right on thanks! thought you had a hook up on valving the bilsteins lol. keep us updated on how it rides.
 
Just finished last night. Rides better than I imagined, firmer, no nasty nose dive, and smooth. The wife loves it too which is important. Now to adjust the headlights down a bit!
