Hey guys, have 19' TRD Off Road, currently just have bilstein 5100 all the way around with 285/70 17 Cooper at3. I can't remember exactly what I have the bilsteins set at, basically the setting so the truck sits level. Was hoping to just get a little extra height, would spacers be the way to go to achieve that?

Bilstein 5100s are designed for up to a 2” lift.
If you are still running the stock springs, the cheapest solution would be spacers. The better, but more expensive solution, would be new springs all around.
I have a 4th gen (2004) with the Toytec/Bilstein 5100 lift kit, and it gave me a 3” lift (2” with taller springs and the extra 1” from spacers) in the front and 2” (with taller springs) in the rear. It now rides level, and on 33” tires. It also has a 1” Toytec body lift. A pic of my current setup is in my signature. I used to have a 2.5”F / 1.5”R spacer lift (no body lift) that I was happy with, but my 16-year-old stock springs were worn out, so I got new shocks and springs all around and did the body lift in 2020. I am very happy with my current setup.
