All four Bilstein 5100s for $117???!!!

The Tundras from factory have a slightly raked stance. Most people get the 5100s to level out their truck (1”-2” lift in the front). These would not work for you since it sounds like you want a 6” lift. I can’t help you there. You might want to post to the suspension section.

 

I thought about starting a thread to ask this question, but it’s related to this one and I think there’s enough people in here with shared wisdom to help me out.

Am I correct that the middle setting will level me and offer the most comfortable ride?
What is best for rear if I want to re-rake the truck?
Think budget friendly since I’m poor. Lol.

Thanks.

 

From what I have seen and read, the middle setting will still have a very slight rake (can be fixed with shims). That’s what I will be doing but no shims for now. All the ‘top setting’ pictures I’ve seen look a little nose high and I don’t want that. Especially if I ever need to tow or haul something heavy in the bed.

If you wanted to add lift to the rear, you will need an Add-A-Leaf, shackles, or blocks. I am by no means an expert so I’m sure someone with more experience will chime in.

 

If you want to leave about 1" of rake, you could go on the bottom setting, which will give you the best ride and leave the rear alone. Middle setting will be real close to level.

 

Well done @AlmightyCrash ! Beautiful!

 

Seriously. I'm in awe of your talent @AlmightyCrash! Well done!

 

I’d pay for my doggos to be done @AlmightyCrash

 

Amazing

 

Awesome job!

 

Feel free to pm me.

 

Waiting for a response from from our beloved vendor before I go directly to Amazon

 

There was only 40 people that ordered?

 

I forgot to vote after I received my item. I voted now.

 

Oh snap, dang why did I say I was going to bow out???

 

I'm still waiting on my mystery item, it's in transit according to Amazon...can't vote yet

 

So today I called Amazon. I had received my 2 sets but not my refund for the difference yet. Long story and 45 minutes short they tried to do the same thing as 4wheelonline.

Amazon- Sir you were made a false promises and we cannot do that.

Me-So you are telling me YOUR employee had me float $745 for you to not follow through? You realize you are doing the same thing the company you banned did correct?


In the end they are having the shocks picked up from my house and credited $100 to my account. I however did not get the credit until I ended the conversation with transfer me to where I can cancel my membership. That quickly brought resolve and I was serious.

Needless to say this did not play out how one might have hoped and Im disappointed that I cannot hook the OP up or my other buyer but sometimes such as life.

 

So I just got the weirdest thing happen on my Amazon order. They told me to keep the shocks they can’t issue a price match but will be refunding the full amount back to my credit card! So In the end I got my shocks for free!

 

That sucks. I can’t believe Amazon would back out like that!

 

At least most everyone got some free Amazon money!

But for those of us that didn’t get shocks and can’t afford them, what’s the safest option to level?
AutoZone has poly coil spacers for around $6, I think.
I could pull the fronts off and stretch the coils, then heat/cool them so they stay.

I just don’t know.

 

I'll sell you my lowrange off-road 3/1 lift kit for $200. It is brand new in box. Hasn't even been taken out. You are the only person I'll sell it to at that price. It's $299 +shipping from them new.

 

beyond impressive!

 

Holy sheet! Nice work Crash! You have some incredible talent.

 

I have officially lost.....didn’t even get a mystery item

 

Out of curiosity, if you look at the tracking details, how heavy does it say your package was?

 

They never gave me a link to track via ups or anything. All it said was shipped with freight.

I did get the refund email from Amazon

 

Maybe you can contact Amazon and have them send them to you from another vendor...

 

Awesome work @AlmightyCrash .

 

Still waiting on a reply from the vendor as to why I received a pipe fitting.

 

I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

I'm just waiting a few days then I'll contact Amazon directly.
