    I have a 2019 crewmax TRD sport. I'm wanting to add a little bit of lift to the front to somewhat level it out. After reading about every thread on this forum, I have decided that I think bilstein 5100's on the front in the middle setting will give me the desired look. My questions are,

    1. I think I want to leave the rear stock. Am I crazy?

    2. I found a set on the toytec website, would I need to order anything in addition to the shocks?

    Thanks for the help. I am new to this and want to make sure all of my bases are covered.

    I did that exact set up a week ago, perfect for my needs and sounds like what you are looking for. Nothing else was needed to install. My shop charged me $410, that included install of Bilsteins, sway bar and an alignment.

    After install, looks a little nose hi due to slight grade in the lot

    All I'm rocking is the Bilstein 5100s up front top setting, everything else stock. 295 60 20s for tires.20190725_163513.jpg

    Now you have me thinking about the top setting. That looks really nice.

    If you haul or tow a lot mode setting would be good. It wouldn't take a lot to make my rear end lower than my front
