5100s installed and tires put on today

Love the way it looks, nothing crazy but way better to me. after middle setting and 275 70 18s. 2.7 inches up front and 1 in the rear. look so much better.
did the bilsteins myself but brought in today for alignment and tires

 

Looks great! I kinda like the white lettering out.

 

yeah that was a debate in my mind that was not easy. I like it some may not

 

I definitely like laces out on white but had never seen it on silver. I like the way it looks more than I thought I would. My tundra is silver also.

 

yeah I wasn't sure either on silver. as u can see I black out everything. my whole grill is plasti dip along with back bumper. looking at picture I need to do front bumper ends. can't help it I just hate chrome

 

Middle setting is only a 1.57" lift (average). Looking at your truck, it looks like 1.5" range, not much more (but thats fine). Top setting would level it out better, unless you want to keep some rake for hauling heavy loads in the bed. Looks very good either way.

The one advantage to the middle setting would be you could probably keep decent Caster on alignment - without UCA's. Higher than that and you really want some aftermarket UCA's to add more caster.

 

The tires are bigger I was accounting for that. I should have specified total height not wheel well height.
technically should be 2.57 in front and 1 inch in back. I went from 36 to 38.75 in front and 39.25 to around 40.3 in back. Like you said though as far as a level brought the front closer to back by around 1.7 my calculation
...Yes I tow a heavy camper and I wanted some rake left. You can see the monster in background

 

Looks good bro!
Did 5100s top setting last weekend. Today just finishing up the +2 shackles.
Those bushings are a giant PITA!

 

What roof rack is that?

 

Thanks it is the rhino rack vortex roof rack. Its great. lower control arm bushings?

 

Pulled it in my neighbors garage to work on when he was away, and had to take off my fishing rod holders on top off rack. Haven't put back yet

 

Leaf spring bushings.

 

Oh I didn't do those. I put airbags in mine

 

Good call!

 

I did put 5100s in rear also, one of the shocks was a fckn nightmare. The top where you would put a wrench or vise grips on was like a broken nub. Nothing to grab. Ended up cutting shock rod so I could work on it easier and splitting the nut

 

So I just took my truck out for the first time after putting those on. I’m getting a weird rubbing grinding kind of noise upfront. Anybody have any ideas what to check? Everything got torqued So I don’t think any thing is loose.

 

Okay, that makes sense. I run 5100's too - so was just wondering how it could have ended up so high. Been all through the settings personally... Rake is definitely nice to have some if your putting a lot of weight on the back for sure. Truck looks great.

 

theres a shield close to the rotor. I accidentally bent mine a little during install. reached in an bent back noise gone

 

May be a dumb question but did you get the 1" in the rear from the tires or from the shocks? I was thinking the shocks were stock height...? I'm thinking I'll add 5100's with fronts on the lower setting to account for a future winch but keep the rake for the future TT. I like the level look but I want to keep mine raked some for the extra weight when I have it back there.

 

yes from. tires. I still have 1.5 rake. airbags even at low pressure brought it up higher than stock

 

Thanks. It can get confusing at times trying to figure all this out.

 

@parkerbows , are those OEM fender flares? If not what brand. Looks nice and clean, not too much.

 

thanks I bought it used and the were on already. I can't find markings

 

Congrats, looks killer

 

So it seems like they are bushwacker extender flares

 

Thanks
