Bilstein 5100 for front with CB 3+ Shackles

I was planning on Spacers and blocks, RC 3/2 or RL 3/2, and it seems everyone her is pretty much against spacers and blocks... I have 2016 TRD offroad pkge (Bilstein 4600). I want to keep the rake look. MAX BUDGET $800 INSTALLED, ALIGNED, HARDWARE.What is your opinion?

1.Bil 5100 for front, top max top set with CB+3 = Roughly $600 hardware cost.
2.Bil 5100 all around = $400 hardware cost, level out, no rake.
3.Just stick with RL 3/2 but instead of 2" block rear, do CB+3
4. Any other suggestions????
Thanks guys and I realy do appreciate all of your opinion as this is my first truck and don't have too much experience. Just a bit nervous about blocks....

 

thanks..... so 5100's, what is your thought on quality, longevity, etc..

 

i would recommend bilstein 5100's on all 4 at top setting, Toytec shackles set at 1" in rear and call it a day.
I love my 5100's.

 

Find a way to do install yourself and save a lot of money. It's not too hard. Then just get an alignment and bam...done.

 

Will this setup give me the rake look or should i go with shackle +2?

 

fixed. hope you don't mind but the way you wrote it causes confusion. the rear 5100's are NOT adjustable.

 

Sorry thought that was an automatic

@PlatinumPro how did you edit my post? Didn't know you could edit other people's posts.

 

Got it. Toytec webiste says front 5100 is adjustable, while the rear can handle up to 1" lift. Well that would mean 1" block or 1" shackle is required if I want the rake... LAST QUESTION. Again this is due to my budget.
5100 FRONT with top setting, Bilstein 5160 with 2+ shackles.... Factory recommend 6112 for front if youre going with 5160. Pehaps my thought is I can upgrade to 6112 down the road once I have this above setup. I live in Texas (flat) and not planning to go offroading.

 

I did 5100 in the rear with +2 shackles no problem at all. Still rides great.
I have about a .5" rake and I also have two CoachBuilder shims on top of front struts to add another inch. So my front it lifted a hair over 3" and my rear is 1.25" with a slight take.

 

Will I finally pulled the trigger and got 5100 for the front, 5160 for the rear with Toytec Shackles (on sale by the way) and Diff drop kit. Local 4x4 shop said they will install everything including alignment ofr $395... In all I spent approx $700 on parts. Of course over my budget. I guess It's better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission....

 

Should I set the 5100 on top setting and if so what should I set the Toytec shackles? OR what do you suggest?

 

I WENT WITH 5100'S ON THE FRONT AT MIDDLE SETTING AND TOYTEC SHACKLES ON THE REAR SET AT 1 INCH.
