5100 Bilstein Setting

2017 tundra platinum 20" stock wheels
I installed 5100 bilstein adjustable shocks with the setting set at the middle ring. Which is about 1.57" lift
With new 275/60/20 nitto g2 tires before/after Let me know if this helps anybody out there

 

How is your ride on Bilstein 5100s compare to OEM shock ride?
Is it better? Stiffer feel?

 

The Fronts should be planted but close to oem since they use the factory springs.

The rear 5100's suck and will leave you looking for more. I have had them for just over a year and wanted to swap the rears with in a week.....but never got around to it.

 

Thanks. I m looking at that option. Did you do just the front?

 

I was more referring to strut stiffness. OEM is bouncing up and down far more then my liking. It seems that the front shock doesn't have enough stiffness to dampen the ride, especially on the perpendicular road waves and when you getting in and out of plazas parking, feel like an ocean boat...

 

The fronts are "OK" they wont bounce like a boat but definitely leave more to be desired in performance.

I might switch over to the Falcon shocks soon. Was looking at Kings and Fox but for me those r a little over kill. I also like the Toytec 2.5's

I'm also not looking for more then 1.75" of lift tho. So I'm an odd ball in that front. Not one to have a huge lifted truck anymore especially one that already gets shitty gas mileage
