    TRD dual Exhaust, TRD Pro Skid Plate, TRD CAI, Demello Hybrid Sliders, Bilstein 6112/5160, Total Chaos UCA, Toytec rear Shackle lift @ 1.5", SCS Ray10 18" with spare, Cooper STT Pro 295/70r18 with spare, Extang Solid Fold 2.0 Tonneau, KB Voodoo Hi Rise Crossbars Oh Sh!t handle add
    I'm planning on installing the Toytec shackles tomorrow and I'd like to set them at 1.5" - but I can't definitively find out if they are made for 0-1" lift or 0-1.5" and I am finding both of those specs at different retailers. I can't find a specific part number based on my order so my question is:

    - Does Bilstein make 2 different versions of the 5160, with different lift hight max's
    - I do go offroad but I'm not doing whoops at 75mph - so while the 1.5" is the look I'm going for I could settle at 1" if I'm going to break something. 1.5" would get me to an oh-so-slight rake

    The 5160 will handle 0"-1.5" of lift. The 5100 will handle 0"-1" of lift.

    This may be a dumb question, but I am dumb, so that explains it: I am putting on 5160's on the rear of my stock TRD Off Road. Can you actually adjust the 5160's? Assuming not, won't they keep the truck the same height as stock?

    Shocks will not lift the truck. You could use blocks or shackles and the 5160's will accommodate up to 1.5" of lift provided by the blocks or shackles.

    Those shocks alone will not give you any height and are not adjustable. They do have 1.5 inches of extra travel though.

    That's what I thought. But I was getting thrown by the "0"-1.5"" I was seeing everywhere, including on this thread and on the specs sheet on the site from which I got them. So in other words, confirming the direct replacement of stock Bilstein 4600 with 5160 there will be no height adjustment (which is what I want).
