Can someone advise exactly what I need to purchase if wanting to level/lift 3” using Bilstein 5100?

Yes, I’m extremely ignorant on this. I’ve read for days this and that regarding leveling and lifting but it’s still feels like someone is talking to me from the bottom of a well with all this info.

I drive a 2019 Toyota Tundra 2wd and I’m wanting to level it and lift 3”. It seems the recommendation that I want to go with is the Bilstein 5100. But I’m unsure as to what kit this will be and if I need to purchase anything else to make the package complete. If anyone can provide a link and info it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to figure this on my own has gotten me nowhere. Apologies for the stupidity.

With your truck being a 19' a 3" lift up front needs to be paired with about 1.75" in the rear. this will allow your TSS system to work at 100% also help with handling and weight distribution. We will gladly help get your truck perfect. feel free to call in anytime and will go over in better detail.

Go with David's advice. You can't go wrong with shackles, etc., from Ekstrom Design. He won't steer you wrong!

 

Check out my build thread... VVV

 

5100 all around
1 coachbuilder shim for drivers lean
+3 coachbuilder shackles
Coachbuilder brake line and abs extension
Upper control arms (if you’re doing 5100 you most likely will go with ball
Joint Upper control arms. They are easy to maintain and last longer than SPC uniball)

 

You throw a question like this into the fray you will get everyone’s personal preference.. let’s try to hone this in on what will actually be BEST FOR YOU. Help this thread out with the following:

• What’s your budget to spend on parts?
  • Don’t forget about labor if your not confident to install yourself.
    • 5100s are not fun to do solo with a manual spring compressor which you would have to buy or rent if doing yourself.
• What do you plan on using your truck for?
  • pavement queen, occasional trail runs, or...
• What wheels/offset you planning on running and with what size tires do you want?
  • Perhaps some sample pics of Tundras that inspire.

I would agree that some UCAs are likely required for 3” lift. Depending on your answers to the above, different UCA options should be considered.

Cheers, and good luck!
