Pic request: Bilstein 5100 with .85 and 1.75 settings

[RO1973]

Hi guys,

I used the search function but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I just purchased the Bilstein 5100s. I am staying with the stock size tire but upgrading from OEM to Toyo AT3s. I'm debating between just leveling the T4R (.85 in the front) or going with 1.75' in the front and 1" spacer in the back. Does anyone have that exact set up? Mainly looking for people who have either of those settings with 265 tires on. Thanks in advance.

I went with 1.75 with bilstin 1in coil and 5100’s in rear. Looks and rides great if only going .85 it’s a waste of money IMO.

I am at .85. and have been since 2014 with stock sized tires. It leveled it out and improved the "nose dive" and ride. I didn't buy them to "lift" the truck. I bought mainly for ride improvement. I don't agree with previous poster them being a waste if you don't go higher that. Even .085 made a visible difference in well well height.
Sorry no pics. I can't find one.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Any noticeable difference in ride comfort when you went from .85 to 1.75?

Well the first set I had was Bilstein 5100s and the second are Bilstein 6112s which are a little stiffer. But either ones over stock are way better.

I got the. 5100’s were the 6112 worth the upgrade? Ride much different?

5100's on all 4 corners, front set to .85" with Cornfed 1/2" spacers in the rear.

No, definitely not. Had a spring break and the rear shocks went out @ 20K miles or so. I did get a warranty replacement spring but it took almost 3 months to get. I'd get Old Man Emu over them any day.

What size k02 are those?! Thanks for posting both this decision is killing me

 

[manofsteele2003]

Those are the stock size, I've since upgraded the wheels and tires.

Bilstein 5100 1.75" front, 1 inch Cornfed spacer with 5100 in the rear.





I wish I'd have gone to the 2.25 in the front.
