Mild Lift w/ KDSS

[dproberts]

I want to do a mild lift and I was thinking about the TRD Pro suspension. However, now I'm thinking of the following:

SWAY-A-WAY 1.5" LIFT REAR COIL SET (SAW 102-1575-195)
5160 REMOTE RESERVOIR REAR SHOCK SET (BIL 25-227611)
TOYTEC/BILSTEIN 5100 ADJUSTABLE COILOVERS (TTAFCS-2005KDSS)
FRONT DIFFERENTIAL DROP KIT (TAC-DR-05)

Any thoughts? This seems better and cheaper than the TRD Pro kit. At what point is a diff drop needed and new uca needed?

This will not work.

You won't need a diff drop bracket , the UCA are really only needed if you are wanting them to clear tires/wheel combos with different backspacing or are not able to get your alignment (caster) back into specs.

I wish I had more information to elaborate on the previous posters "this will not work" comment. May have to do with mixing 5160 rear shocks with 5100 fronts but I thought they were similar with the 5160 series having a remote res. Not sure though. Someone who looked into the Bilstein kits more then I will have an answer for you.

I'm still waiting on my Nautical Blue TEP w/ KDSS, so I'm guessing this will work.
