Differential drop Kits with 5100 Bilsteins & 285/65R18s...?

I picked up a new 2021 Tundra Limited 4WD with the TRD Off Road the weekend before last on 5/29!

This last weekend I picked up some take offs of the newer TRD Pro black 18" wheels that came with some barely used BF Goodrich All Terran T/A KO2 LT285/65R18 tires.

I have a new full front & rear set of Bilstein 5100 shocks on the way.

My goal is to simple level out the front of the truck. I think I will stay at or below 2" in the front. I do not plan on doing any other lifts or mods at this time unless I need some airbags later on for trailering.

Do I need a differential drop kit for the front 5100s? I plan on setting the shocks on middle or high settings. How many settings are on the Bilsteins and what are the various settings? How much lift can be obtained before a differential drop kit is needed?

If I do need a diff drop kit, which ones are recommended? I have seen kits by Mammoth, Supreme Suspensions and ReadyLift. Any thoughts there?

Also, with these tires do I need to worry about any rubbing with stock shocks or the new 5100s?

Thanks in advance!

 

I'm no expert but 2" is the standard lift on the PRO's and they don't have a diff drop on them. Think you'd be fine without.
