Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Shocks on Non TRD Limited

Would love to get some thoughts from the Tundra Family.

Currently:
Only 295/60/20 R/T tire w/ Bilstein 5100s on the 4th clip (1.7"-1.8" front lift). Drives more like a German car now - picture attached.

Wanted to change:
Fronts: Move front shocks to 5th clip (2.2"-2.3" front lift) and add 1" shim bringing front 3.2" if my 2nd grade math is correct.
Rears: Take stock out and add 5100s and 1"-1.6" spring puck for rear lift.

Question poll:
1. I'm seeing mixed info on mods for differential drop, red/silver front axels, and UCAs at 3 inches but guys w/ the Westcott 3-1 seem to be doing just fine on stock.
2. Would a 1" rear puck vs 1.6" provide more of leveled look based on the picture?

Trying to avoid the truck looking like I'm doing too much - LOL - Might be too late

 

My 5100 after 13 months.

You be the judge.

 

I’d say the leaking Bilstein shock is rather abnormal as a whole. They’re really quite well known for their durability and service life.

Obviously sucks that yours failed. A rebuild or replacement isn’t too expensive relative to other shocks, but hopefully they’ll replace it for you under warranty.

**Edit - just saw you have another thread about leaking Bilsteins. Honestly surprised to hear it.

 

Thanks for sharing thoughts and pix

 

I love the look and planning on doing something similar when I get a little more wear out of my factory tires. How is the ride quality and what brand of tires did you go with?
