Newb question about bilstein 5100

[Hellomoto921]

Hey guys im new here so im still trying to get a grasp on all the information that's provided by the awesome t4r community. I guess my question is if i get the bilstein 5100's for front and rear does that level off the truck as well as provide additional lift without getting spacers or leveling kit? Thanks.

I have been trying to ask the same question but but couldn't find the words to make sense of it. I know nothing about lifts and such!

I am hoping that when I order my Toy Tech 3'' Ultimate lift that it will come with everything a guy needs to level it out.

The front shocks are adjustable. They can be set at 0", .85", 1.75", or 2.5" lift. The rear 5100s are not adjustable. If you want to lift and level, do the fronts on the 2.5" setting and add a Daystar 1.5" spacer to the rear ($40).

Thanks ARK I will look into that because I am not looking to get a huge lift just slightly so this would be perfect.

Do i need to change out the springs as well to do this?

It isn't required, but can be done if you choose. If you have a lot of miles on the stock coils, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put on new coils also.

I only have 49k miles on mine, if i decided to install just the blisteins with the oem springs, can I still set it to the higher lift of 2.5"?

You will be able to get 2.5" lift in the front using stock coils. Some combine this with fj coils for a full 3" lift.
