Do I need anything else for this lift scenario to work?

    First off, sorry if this question has been asked a million times already.

    I have an 04 double cab 4wd currently with Bilstein 5100s on all 4, with everything else being stock in the suspension. It is currently set to the 2nd highest setting as recommended by the manual for 4wd, which is about 2 inches.

    I'd like to add the following lift/spacer kit: With this combination of the 3" lift and the bilstein 5100s I have a few questions.

    1) will the total lift be additive? 3" front lift plus 2" leveling lift = 5inches?

    2) do I need to buy any other components for this to fit? Coilovers, etc.? Or will my current stock suspension parts work?

    3) anyone else who has this setup know what the max tire size is that can be run?

    This will not work. Your upper control arms will be hitting your coils if you do this. 2-2.5" is max suspension lift on these trucks. If you want to go to 5" you will need to do a bracket lift.

    If you want more lift, next time around, you can go with OME. Depending on the spring setup, you can get 4" of lift at the front. For the rear, you'll need either block/AAL or archive garage leaf springs. I am going Archive garage custom leaf springs. Not sure exactly how it will measure out just yet but should have them in about 3 weeks so I can get them installed and see how the truck sits with the OME setup.
