Suspension Install - Just need confirmation....

[jthoms1]

Ok, I've stalked and read a ton of threads on suspension installs. I just need quick affirmation I am getting the right parts to accomplish what I want. I have a 2011 SR5 with 80k miles. So I'm going the route of replacing the shocks all around. I want a moderate lift and level. So, here's what I am planning on ordering.
1. Bilstein 5100's front adjustable
2. Bilstein 5100's rear
3. Sway-a-way coils w/1.5" lift

I'll set the front adjustable's to the 2.5" setting and install everything.

Do I have this right? Anything else I'll need (aside from time and tools)?

Thanks in advance.

I'm currently only running part of your configuration, but your configuration seems to be configured correctly for capable quality concurrency.

how much harsher did your ride get?

not harsh at all. definitely stiffer in the turns, but in a good way

I just had the same set up installed on mine...small exception is I added the Toytec adjustable kit & coils in the front. I absolutely love the ride and the look. Best of luck with the install.

Hey you guys with the 5100's.... I have to ask because I like the OP am working on making my decisions and confirming pretty much exactly what he is, and I've been considering the 5160's and 6112's, still haven't figured out a rear coil that will accomplish a level lift at roughly 2-2.5 in front


But comparing 5100's and 5160's/6112's... is it worth the extra $$$? I'm basically trying to accomplish improved off road capabilities while retaining or improving on road manners and reliability.
