Bilstein Shocks

I have a 2018 XP 4runner with a 2" rough country lift front and rear with stock toyota shocks on the front and rough country on the rear. I want to install bilsteins shocks front and rear, i want to set the front shocks on the highest setting and not put the spacers back on the front and leave the the spacers in the rear with the bilsteins shocks will this still give me the 2" of lift i have now. Hope this makes sense.... Thanks

 

Bilstein 5100 settings for the front are 0", 0.8", 1.75", and 2.5". In your situation, you'll have to choose between 1.75" or 2.5" of lift. Another option might be to get 2" Dobinson lift coils (I think they make these, but not positive) for the front and set the 5100's at the 0" setting to have the coils do the lifting.

The 5100's in the rear will work with a 2" spacer.

 

thanks

 

Like Jake recommended,
Btw. Your rear shocks are on the way.
Dobinsons C59-302 Front Lifted Coil Springs for Toyota and Lexus (exitoffroad.com) 2.5" lift.
Good luck Dan

 

thanks

 

got the dobinsons springs but is there suppose to be a left and right spring both these are the same and neither one says left or right.... Just asking thanks

 

Hello Dan,

The C59-302 are a set, same spring left and right. The setting of your Bilstein 5100 shocks need to be set on the lowest settings; It's the springs giving you the lift and the shocks the damping. Me personaly would buy a rear set as well Dobinsons C59-505 Rear Coils for the price, hell yeah. Mike from exitoffroad is a great guy, he will give you the best advice, he is the type of a person that's not out to take you money, honest guy and an expert in the field.

Btw. The coils pig tail are differently set on the left and the right side, when taking the old ones off look at the way the old are set; install the new exactly the same.
