Pics, Bilstein 5100, .85 265-75-16 BFG KO

I know this is a very popular setup, so I just want to show what the results are on a 2016. The truck sits level and it rides very well. I am pretty much done with the truck, I do have to order the Firestone air bags and Daystar cups for towing my Rockwood A-Frame.

I should also be getting my black vinyl inserts for the tailgate, I already de-badged everything.

 

Looking sweet, nice job!

 

Can I ask your gas mileage?

 

Right now I am getting 21.3 with mixed driving . My 2010 4Runner which pretty much had the same setup was getting 17.

 

Looks good. My wife has put the King suspension on hold until after the first of the year so I will be doing this same lift with 265/75/r16 Duratracs until the bank account comes back up from the purchase. Thanks for the pics.

 

Looks great. Can't wait to get my bilsteins.

 

That looks tough.. Good job..

 

Thanks guys! I am hoping to get a trip to W.Md. soon and get some dirt on the truck.

 

Looks great I plan on doing the same thing hopefully mines come out level like yours

 

I've never used the Bilstein 5100s, how do they compare to stock?

 

Thanks for the pics. Hoping to do the same thing to mine (but ST Maxx tires) after the first of the year.

 

Looks good. Wish I was getting 21mpg. I'm not even close to that.

 

In reference to how the Bilstein`s compare to stock shocks, I honestly don`t feel a big difference on the road. I have not had my truck off road yet so nothing to say about that.

My gas mileage has stayed right at 21mpg, and that is on a mix of highway and 40mph state roads. The only time I use 6th gear is when I'm on the highway. When I`m on the state roads and in traffic I stay in 5th gear with ECT engaged.

 

Only set up I see myself doing. I don't want crazy lift, just a little extra clearance. No crazy rock crawling for me, more if an overlander.

Looks really good, even on a limo

 

Did you get a chance to do alignment yet?

 

looks very nice. So the only mod you made to achieve what is seen in the picture is the adjustment to 0.85 (and of course the tires)?

Are the 5100s configurable only in discrete intervals, or can they be adjusted anywhere within a range?

 

My alignment was checked after the install and everything was still with-in factory specs.

 

Sorry Last question but which is the .85 setting is it the second notch from the bottom? Truck goin in shop Wednesday to get the 5100s up front and I'm jus wanting to get get leveled. Thanks

 

Love the SR5 rims! Maybe more so than the TRDs

 

That's correct, second notch from the bottom. You can find installation instructions with pics of the notch settings by doing a Google Image search. I made sure I had a copy of this with the .85 notch position highlighted. Please post a few pics when you get it finished.
