I’m on bilstein 5100 shocks all around with OME coils in the front currently set at 0 notch which gives me 2.5 inches lift. I want to adjust go to slightly higher to 3 inches. If I go up 1 notch (.85), it will lift at 3.35. If I use 1/2 spacer, it will be exactly 3 inches. I have a slight rake in the back with 2” rear spring. I think if I go 3” in the front it will level the truck.
Are there any differences on ride quality when with preloading vs using a spacer? Are there any pros and cons between the two? Is it even worth going up? I already have JBA installed so going up shouldn’t be no issue. My concern is if I’ll loose significant in ride quality. I’m riding close to stock, if not better.
I understand it’s better to probably just get a slightly bigger spring rate but for my use I don’t think it’s necessary my 4Runner is mainly a pavement princess. Swapping to a higher spring rate could result to a stiffer ride.
