Need help with lift info.

[df662]

Ok guys , need some help with purchasing a lift. I currently have bilstein 5100 front and back, front at 1.75" and back has a 1" spacer, riding on 275/70/17 tires on trd pro wheels. No other add ons to the vehicle.

I would like to upgrade to the wheeler offroad T1 2.5 front / T13 1.5 back springs. My guess is the vehicle will ride better than the current pre loaded springs with the bilstein setup.

My question is, what can I use to correct the driver side lean. I read something about people using the OME trim packer? Can that be used for this setup.

Also would love to hear if anyone has suggestions for any better springs out there.

Thanks for your time.

PS Does anyone run this setup with 275/70/17 tires? Would love to see some pics.

What do you mean by a "better" ride? If you mean a stiffer one, then by all means switch to stiffer front springs, but I have a feeling that's not what you're looking for.

Ride stiffness is related primarily to spring rate and shock valving. "Preload" does not affect the spring rate -- it only decreases the available suspension travel. If the ride with your current setup is too stiff, switching to springs with a higher rate (like the Wheeler T1s) will only make it worse.

To get a better (as in softer) ride and also increase your lift without sacrificing suspension travel, you'll want a spring that has a lower rate but is longer. I'm no spring guru, but I'm sure there are better choices to accomplish this than the T1s.

For the rear, the T13s would give you additional suspension travel versus a spacer, but won't make much difference in either the amount of lift (most people don't seem to net more than about an inch with them) or the ride quality.

I have the T13 with trim packer. Pics and more info here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...2-new-t-13-rear-lift-coils-3.html#post2693117
