May need 1"- 1.250" rear spacers!

[sporty87]

I am installing Bilstein 5100 front adjustable shocks set at 1.750" this week on my 2010 4Runner SR5 to level out the front end. Does anyone know where I can buy 1"-1.250" rear coil spring spacers in case I may need them if the front is too high? I can't seem to find anyone who sells a spacer that height.
And why are all rear spacers I do find regardless of size some type of poly material and will it last? Seems to me aluminum would be better.
Thanks all.

what size tire you going to run? I'm debating weather to run a 285 or 265 with the bilstein leveling 5100s....

They're polyurethane for a less harsh ride. They'll last as long as the truck.

Daystar makes a 1.5" rear poly. Poly gives a better ride and like someone said will last with the truck.

Are you keeping stock springs in front and just adding the Bilstein 5100's ?

rear your keeping stock , unless you need a spacer right.


Where did you find the shocks , everywhere I've looked they have been out of stock .

Sounds like a set up i want to do .

The rear I am keeping stock unless I need a spacer if the front is too high. I found a 1" spacer thru Burtman Industries but it's a little expensive. A local guy here on Long Island is getting me the shocks and should be here by tues. 1/11/11. He called his guy and two where in stock. I paid a little more for the shocks thru him but his labor is cheaper. Long Island labor is high! Downsouth Motor Sports has the Bilsteins for $182.99 with shipping but they won't have them till end of Jan. or middle of Feb.

Sporty - I'm also looking for a 1" spacer for the rear. I've got the Bilstein 5100 adjustables on the front set at 1.75" and it leveled the truck but the line of the running boards and windows give the look of the front being higher? I want to get a little rake back, but can only find 2" spacers for the rear. I went to Burtman's website but couldn't find the 1" spacers you mentioned. Did you call them?

As far as the Bilsteins, super happy with them on the front. Completely solved the nose dive issue. My advice though is to get the 5100 rear shocks as well. I bought them after I had the fronts on for a couple weeks. Huge difference in body sway and corner lean. I can't believe how much better it made the truck handle. Definitely a firmer ride though...but I can just fly through bumps with the larger pistons.

are you running 285s with just the 1.75 5100 upfront? does it rub?

Yeah, 285s with just the 5100 set at 1.75, but I've also got spidertrax spacers to widen the stance since my 285s are on the stock SR5 wheels. No rubbing on the UCA but had to trim the fender well plastic a little due to minor rubbing. Never had any rubbing since. Been pretty happy with the setup, but if I were doing it again I would go 2.5 on the 5100 setting and throw a 1.5 or 2" rear spacer in.

Just go to Burtmanindustries.com
Then look on right side of screen under Lift Kits you will see 03-10 4Runner listed click on the link and you will see a 2" front 1" rear kit. I then emailed them to only buy the 1" rear spacer and was told no problem $165.00 for just the rear. Which I think is pretty expensive!

Crenkas, do you know the part# for the rear Bilstein shocks you put on your 4Runner? Thanks.

Thanks Sporty. That does seem expensive for spacers. You can buy springs for that price!!

The part # for the rear 5100s is BE5-E703-HO. I'm in Canada. The Canadian distributor is for Bilstein is Essex Distributors (Essex Distributors) and they can ship same day. I know they have both the front 5100 adjustable and rear non-adjustables in stock since a friend just ordered a set. Free shipping too.

Thanks for the link. The custom rear spacers are exactly what I'm looking for to just add about an inch of rake back. But I'm also considering biting the bullet and paying to get my front 5100s reset to 2.5" and then add a 1.5" spacer or spring in the rear. That way I will get a bit more lift in the front too. If I was doing things over again, this is the route I would take. But now it will cost me another couple hundred dollars to have the shop redo the 5100 height plus another wheel alignment.

Sure...if I can figure out how to compress and upload some images. Had trouble last week, but didn't spend too much time on it. You could also message me your email and I'll blast a few through that way...

Spacers and Tires

Yeah, 285s with just the 5100 set at 1.75, but I've also got spidertrax spacers to widen the stance since my 285s are on the stock SR5 wheels. No rubbing on the UCA but had to trim the fender well plastic a little due to minor rubbing. Never had any rubbing since. Been pretty happy with the setup, but if I were doing it again I would go 2.5 on the 5100 setting and throw a 1.5 or 2" rear spacer in.

Hey Crenkas - I just ordered 5100's all around for my 2014 SR5. Was trying to determine what rear spacers to put on if I set the front 5100s to 2.5". Will 1.5" rear spacers keep the front a little higher and the 2" spacers make it level? Not sure what I want. Also any brand differences on the rear spacers or are they pretty much all equal.

And on your tires - I wanted to put the 285s on my stock wheels as well but seems that the recommended wheel width for the 285/70/17s are all 7.5 - 9.5 and our stock SR5 wheels are only 7". Is it okay to throw those tires on there? How does it affect the tire?

Sorry for all the questions, I have been doing a lot of research and these questions just haven't been answered clearly enough for me.

I can now have any size rear spacer made. Custom, to any size you want, made to order. call or shoot a text.
