    Hi

    Between lifts and leveling what would be my best option. I won’t be doing any major off roading in this vehicle.

    It’s between
    Bilstein 5100 shocks
    &
    Toytec

    Bilstein 5100's. It seems like not too many on this board like spacer kits. There are many threads about this very subject.

    I’d go coilovers over spacer lift any day.

    If you’re looking for a 3/1 and don’t want to pony up $800-1200, the toytec in cool spacer is the next best option up from an on top spacer, if you’re gonna be happy with 2.5, billies are the way to go

    I’m going to pull the trigger on 6112’s in front and 5160’s in back. I just want bigger tires so just setting then to 2” in front and 1.5” rear to keep some rake.

    Rear shocks will not change your rear ride height, you need to change the leaf spring, or put a block in.

    @DiegoC, what did you end up doing? Both Toytec and ready lift are having sales right now and I'm about to stimulate the economy.

    Went with the pro comp 3” spacers in front. Bilstein 5100’s weren’t high enough to fit the 285/65/20’s. They added the block from the kit for some reason, but are replacing it with the add a leaf next weekend. Don’t know how they got confused. But the are correcting the mistake.

    Nice. Was there major work to fit the tire? Do you think you could have gotten away with anything less of a lift? Notice any difference in the ride?

    No just trimmed the front piece behind the fog lights about an inch. Would’ve been more trimming with the 5100’s at 2.25” compared to the 3” lift from the pro comp.

    I will. I just can’t decide the wheel set up size I want.

    I’m thinking 20x9 w/ 295/55/20
    Or
    18x9 w35s

    Do I want to do major cutting or? That’s where I’m stuck
