    I'm planning to lift my 2020 Platinum this upcoming summer and I was wondering if there are any lift kit suggestions. Hopefully I don't get roasted but with my current life style, the truck will see little to no actual off roading. I personally prefer the look of the lifted truck and larger tires/side wall.

    With that being said, I've been doing research and would prefer something around 2"-3" lift and ~35s on 17-18" wheels with little to no cutting/trimming. I would like to keep the same ride quality or better ;) I've been looking at the Bilstein 6112/5100 set up but was wondering if there are anything else around that same budget (<$2000)….I have a couple of months so why not ask around.

    Let me know what else is out there :) and if you could, leave a photo of your set up! Thanks for the help.

    Billies should be perfect IMO.

    Agree... for you price point and what you are trying to get out of the setup, I think you headed the right direction...

    The following thread will probably keep you busy for a bit, but should confirm or dispel your path...

    Thanks for the advice, I've already been keeping an eye on this thread. Probably on page 10 out of the many to go haha

    5100s are ok, I think 6112s are better. I would also suggest you look at Eibach Pro Truck setup, which is nice for the coin. The latter is fully assembled coilovers and rear shocks that can be adjusted on the truck vs billies that need to be removed to change the clip locations.

    Even the Eibach 5100’s equivalent (shock used with factory coil) have better small bump sensitivity and have a smoother ride quality in the cold than Bilstein…. Definitely worth the look OP.

    I meant to write 5160 instead of 5100 but still not sure what the difference is yet. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into Eibach too. Haven't heard of them but will check them out

    Love the look of the it. I'm assuming "top setting" is 2.5"? Was there any rubbing with this set up?

    I would get TRD PRO suspension. In fact, I'll do that next summer. Don't like harsh ride with 5100. I wasn't thinking much about it, but when wife got her TRD PRO Sequoia, I'm jealous...
