2 inches of lift on 5100’s

Hey guys new to the forum. Got a question that i have yet to find any helpful info. Has anyone seen a thread or know anthing about putting 2-2.5 inches of lift on a bilstein 5100? I know they are made for 0-1" but I'm not flexing my suspension very often. Mostly on road driving and old dirt logging roads. I currently have a 2017 tundra SR5 with bilstein 6112s up front on the highest setting and 5100s in the rear along with the icon 1.5" rear leaf spring expansion pack. The truck is pretty level but i tow more now and im looking to be an 1 inch higher in the rear to account for trailer weight. Bottom line question is well the 5100s hold up with 2-2.5 inches of lift? or will is over extend them?

thanks!!

 

5100s would be perfect. In fact I'll trade you a brand new pair for you used 6112s if you pay shipping. PM me

 

Just adjust the 6100s to the low setting.

 

You just destoyed @Stig 's come up opportunity.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

I think you both failed reading comprehension.
He’s not asking about the front shocks.
He’s asking if the rear shocks (Bilstein 5100 built for 0-1” lift) are long enough to hold up to 2” of lift since he’s doing only on road driving and he’s not flexing out his truck often.

 

Well then, I believe they do not recommend a 2" on the 5100, I think they make a long travel version.

 

Failing reading comprehension is bit of a stretch. I'll admit to glancing over the post and misunderstanding it though.

If glancing over causes you to not understand the post maybe you should slow down. You read what you wanted to read and not what was written. Aside from that, your post was an obvious attempt to take advantage of someone for your own personal gain.

 

DICK:
noun
a condescending asshat who posts like @Scuba

DISCOUNT TIRE:
proper noun
a vendor you should think twice about buying from, for they are represented by asshats

 

I called it like I saw it and pointed out the obvious. Stig was being a vulture.
If you consider that as being condescending than you might be a millennial.

 

The only advantage I was taking over the OP was for some internet laughs. Don't need or want his shocks. Lol

But thanks for trying to explain comprehension so I can better comprehend what you're trying to say

 

Awww, thank you @Scuba for making this old man feel younger by calling me a millennial. Hugs and kisses xoxo

Everyone knew you were being sarcastically humorous @Stig , well, everyone except @Scuba

 

Op, you should consider Firestone Ride Rite airbags. They will keep you level towing. I highly recommend.
