Does anyone here have Bilstein 5100s with Westcott preload collars on a SR5

Hi all

I am interested in the Westcott preload collars for my Bilstein 5100s and and looking for some help. Does anyone know which setting I use on the strut (bottom, middle or top) for a full 3” lift?

 

Mike, did you ever find out the answer to this question? I’m in the same boat as you.
They recommended 1 for driver side and 3 for passenger side (from bottom) but that doesn’t seem right to me. For some reason in their videos they have more then 3 notches on the 5100s

 

So they seem to be giving directions for 4 runners not tundras. From what I have found on my search is tundras are set at the lowest setting. My kit came the other day. You get the preload collars and shims for the top. You need both to get 3”. I need to get my rear lift still so I am not high in the front. This guy used the front end kit on the lowest setting https://www.tundras.com/threads/army-green-trd-sport-build.95913/#post-2511771

 

Hmm … it looks like he may be on the middle setting I feel like I can see a grove visible under the collar? It’s also the driver side so maybe middle for driver side lean?

I’m rolling with 2” coach builder shackles for the rear.
I’m supposed to do install on Friday. I thought I had everything squared away now I’m just confused ha.

 

I reached out and he told me bottom

 

Thanks Man, I appreciate the help. So bottom setting with the shims that come with it…. I reached out to Westcott again today .. Still the same answer


We do settings 3 and 1
3 driver
1 passenger

(That is up from the bottom)

With the coach builders you’ll have a slight rake with it giving you near 2”

The 3/1 clip settings will help you address lean

 

Let me know how you make out with your installation. I’m still waiting on me rear lift

 

How did you make out with the lift

 

Good Man! I’m really happy with it.
I’m on the 1st setting(clip 1) of the Bilsteins. Got about a .25” of rake with the 2” shackles. No driver side lean. Running 34s on 9.5 wide +12 offset. No rubbing. Did have to put on bumper shims

 

Great to hear.
