Pic and info request on leveling a 4th gen V6

[JBecker]

Looking for pics and info from anyone that may be running their V6 4th gen on Bilstein 5100's on the middle setting with stock springs and no additional spacers or lift with 265/70/17 tires.

I'm in need of shocks and tires and wanted to see how this setup will work out. Will be running stock rims and also plan on changing the spare tire as well. Hope that it will still fit up there.

If it makes a difference, I will be getting General Grabber AT2 tires.

Josh - the lift pic sticky at the top has a ton of pics. I am sure you will find that setup in that thread if not maybe PM a few of the folks in the suspension sticky.

I've looked through it a lot, but most of the pics I see are of trucks with more lift than just the 5100's offer. Sometimes it's hard to tell what exactly I'm looking at when they don't list the specs.

Ill take a look tonight see if I can see the pictures I was thinking of in that thread.

Here's mine with fj springs and 5100's @ .85 (probably close to stock springs by now accounting for wear)
I apologize I do not have 265/70, but it looks about the same just a tiny bit beefier. They won't rub with stock wheels.

As far as info, 5100's are amazing for a DD. They ride so much better than stock. And fj springs really help a lot too. The best money I've spent on my 4runner by far.

FYI there are 4 settings on the 5100's
Stock
.85
1.75
And ...2.25???

I'm assuming you mean middle as the 1.75 setting??

Thanks! Yeah I was planning on sticking with stock springs and putting the front shocks at the 1.75" setting.

My friend has a TRD tacoma that's stock suspension and he just out 265/70/17 BFG AT tires on it and he doesn't have any rub.

My stock shocks are pretty worn out at 75,000 miles. The truck is pretty splashy and the front bottoms out over some speed bumps. I also hate the rake it has and want it to be level.
