Trailrazer Build V 2.0

So you have the front and rear DS spacer's like mine and you added the 5100's all around with the FJ coils all around? Are the rear 5100's adjustable?
I see some people choose the Air springs suspension kit for the rear. Do you know the difference between the 5100's and air springs?

The rear 5100's are not adjustable. I would only add air bags for towing in the future. In my experience air bags compensate for heavier loads by keeping the vehicle riding level. They also firm up the ride in the rear. I had them on my Ram. It had a 6" lift, which the rear was a softer spring rate. When I loaded bikes in the bed or pulled the travel trailer I added air to level the truck.

Some users talk about inflating rear air bags to lift the back. I question that approach, but do not criticize it. It seems that air bag use would mask improvements from the shock valving on a daily driving use and cheat a true rear lift. For me it's FJ coils, front and rear spacers, along with 5100's. The result has been fantastic for the money and a great ride. I spent just under $500.00 for everything and installed it myself.

Yep I'm on there with the same screen name, I'm a Senior Moderator on AZ.

I thought I recognized you. I'd love to do a 3.5l build on the Acura. The tranny has to blow up first!
