5100 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

Would mid setting with one .25 CB shim on each side ride better then just the top setting with no shim? Already measured each side. I have no drivers side lean.

 

That’s if you’re trying to increase overall height. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t need to.

 

25k miles later and the 5100 are still real nice. Although looking for an upgrade in the near future.

Why and what are you looking to upgrade?

 

2008 2WD, 5100s on middle setting, rear stock, Moto Metal MO970 and Kumho AT52 265/70 R18

 

I ended up going just middle setting with no spacers. I like it. Doesn't look noticeable high or low.

 

Might look into ADS in the near future.

 

Middle setting is the way to go.



5100s (middle setting)
OEM wheels
285/75/18s

 

Looks great! I wish I would have went with a 285/70 or 75 when I put my Pro wheels on. They look great

 

thanks! They fit very well and the rubbing was minimal that a little massaging took care of.

 

I am getting ready to add 5100's all around and curious if all off you replaced the springs on the front as well. After looking at the pictures, I am thinking top setting for the front. It's a hard decesion because some of the trucks look great at the middle setting.

 

I'm pretty happy on the middle setting. Still has just a tinny dip to the front. Looks like it should.

 

Honestly, even with mine at top setting and 3/4” shackle in rear, it’s sitting leveled now I’d say.

All the towing I’ve been doing have been putting a toll on the OEM leafs and they’re looking real flat.

 

Two quick and might be a dumb questions, should I run a different shock on the rear if I am running the 5100's on the front and do I need to do anything else to the front to make sure the geometry is right since the lowest setting is a .875 lift?

 

No, doesn’t need to be matching and it won’t kill you if it doesn’t match.

No, although some do experience the driver side lean if you have the bigger gas tank for the Tundra. Therefore, some will add a shim to the top hat in order to negate the driver side lean.

 

You should be fine., Show some pics on how the stance w is at the lowest setting.

 

I’m trying to make my decision as well but am still not sure what to do…

I’ve got a cheap spacer style Motofab 3” front, 2” rear leveling kit. I love the stance, and am currently clearing 285/60r20 toyo open country r/t trails on factory 20” wheels (2018 1794 package, 4x4 crew cab)

It’s time for me to upgrade the factory shocks since I’ve eclipsed 83k miles. I’m wanting to upgrade to 5100’s (I think). I want to maintain the current ride height and clearance since I like to off-road occasionally. (Don’t mind a touch more, but don’t want any less height) I don’t currently have the budget or the need for any monster suspension upgrades… just city/highway primary driving and weekender offroading.
Can anyone talk me off the cliff, OR be a good bad influence on me and confirm this would be a viable option for my wants?
any forum sponsor vendors I can reach out to with specific questions and possibly make a purchase? Wanting to figure out my next steps in the next week or so.
Thanks in advance for any help! Hope this is appropriate to be posted on this thread.
