Suspension upgrade Bilstein 6100/5160

Would I still have a rake to my truck with the Bilstein 6112 set to 9/11 in the front to give me a 2” lift in the front
Then in the rear Bilstein 5160 set to 1.5” with Deaver stage 1 2” ?
thanks!

 

Theoretically yes, about a 1" of rake with no extra weight in the rear if you are lifting 2" front and back.

Note that the rear shocks don't provide any additional lift, they simply accomodate up to 1.5" of rear lift (Many people go beyond this recommendation). Your leaf springs will likely settle very slightly over time.

Your best bet is to measure your heights as it sits today, and then decide on circlip and rears that fit the stance you want. Proof is always in the math.

 

No shock provides lift; springs do that.

 

I “think” so. With that kit, reach out to Colton @memario1214 I’m sure he can help out. He owns/runs hotshotoffroad and always helps out.

 

That's what I said lol

 

It will look exactly like it does currently just 2” higher if you get a true 2” of lift.

 

Thank you!

 

What you described is exactly what I have.

37.5 front L&R
38.5 L rear
39.0 R rear

measured fender to ground with stock size wheels.

 

Perfect because I don’t want the rake to be huge nor am I trying to level the truck. Do you have the Deaver stage 1 too?

 

I can only speak for the Bilstein 5100s, but mine is set @ 2" in the front and a 1" rear block and my Taco is perfectly level, no rake. Stock coils a per Bilstein recommendation. ( I don't miss the rake, and the oem brake dive). Nor did I need to replace my UCA's.

In this pic, it may look a tad lower in the rear, but I have 4 rims and 4 tires in the box.

 

Thank you!

 

Yes
