    2013 tundra double cab
    3" lift, 33” tires open country AT2, 18" Mayhem rims, flowmaster exhaust, K&N intake, smoke rear lights and 3rd brake light. Optima RED Top battery, LED Lights all around, Mesh black Grill, Alpine double dash Nav head unit. Suspension 5160s rear 5100s front.
    Got a 13 tundra with 3” leveling kit with 33” x 12.5 open country tires. I just bought bilstein 5100 for the front and 5160 for the rear. I want to keep a 3” lift in the front. So I was thinking keeping the leveling kit and setting the 5100 at zero lift so still using the leveling kit only for lifting. Is that ok? Has anyone done that before if so how was the ride?? Thank you!

    This is my setup I bought from dealer. I don’t know the name of lift or if it’s even factory lift. It’s a 2012 DC 4x4. I know it’s not exactly what you’re asking about but it’s as close I can get you. My ride quality is pretty stiff feeling like a truck. Hope this helps. Good luck getting your answer.
    Oh and I think it’s a 2/1 lift. I’ve got 33” tires on stock rims. 275/65/r18 I believe. Should be in the picture.

    Yes, set it to "0" with your kit to keep the same level as you had it.
