Bilstein 5100 strut and 4600 shock install finally

[Delux7]

Finally got ER done. Lil’ rake but I’m diggin’ her. Bilstein 5100 struts, top circlip selected with 4600 rear shocks with 1.5 spacer installed. All panels, mirrors and front/rear bumpers painted. Next up, tires…

Looks good. How's the ride with the Bilstein's.

Pretty good, It’s only been about a week though. I did this same setup on my sons 02 4Runner and once they set in, about a month, they’re really a great ride. Fn to drive.

What size of tires are you running?

Currently at 265/65/18. Thinking about the new shoes at 265/70/18 or 270/70/18 Looking for any suggestions as well.

I did rock auto motorcraft complete struts when they were cheep on sale. And did 3” front 2.5” rear spacers. With 1.5” wheel spacers. Running 285-70-17 tires. Looks good to me. A little stress on the cv’s but I don’t do a lot of. Twisty off roading. Lol

@Delux7 Nice work. I have been running the exact same setup for about 2 years. Made a night and day difference. Rides amazing on and offroad. I am running 33 inch tires, but probably have enough room for 35s (if I wanted to change the gearing). I rebuilt the steering, too, so it drives like a new truck for about 1% of the cost. Anyway, your rig looks good. Take care.
