    So I have been getting deep on this level/lift I am going to do on my ride...

    First things first, I want to do this right...so I am down to the Bilstein 5100 or the Toytec 2.0.

    Since I am not 100% convinced that I want to lift the rear as opposed to just leveling the front, I am leaning toward the 5100 and going on the middle settomg. It seems with the Toytec it comes set on 3" lift for the front to go with a 1 1/2" lift on the rear.

    If I go with the Bilstein for the level, should I get some to match in the rear (over stock)? Would that make for a better ride?

    This is where I am now...NewT3 (1).jpg

    Id go with the 5100s all around over the toytec spacer from these choices. Beware you don’t want to sit nose high with the TSS system so you might have up the rear a bit. I’m talking when towing or carrying load.

    The Toytec 2.0 is the Aluma series coilover, not the spacer kit.

    In that case aluma all the way.. get a UCA too. The aluma vs 5100s are two very different lifts and significantly different price points.

    sounds like OP needs to decide what he’s using the truck for.

    The 5100 is not a spacer it is a whole new adjustable shock correct...I DO NOT want a spacer type level!

    Toytec 2.0 Aluma 3/1.5 lift with JBA's UCA Falkens AT3 295/70/18
    0424211438.jpg I did the whole researched threads after threads here and asked a few question and two....Figure whats your budget....What type of lift? Application? and other components, UCA, wheels, tires, etc? Daily driver with some offroading like me just going to our hunting cabin.....twice a year.
    I went with the Toytec 2.0 Aluma Coilovers fronts and 2.0 rear shocks 1.5 rear lift and my truck rides better than stock... Toytec is solid and proven. Good luck.

    Call Hugo at Toytec and mention what your budget is, ride you are looking for, how often you venture off the road, etc. He'll set you straight.
