Bilstein 5100 front level and back level on a SR5

I recently bought the Bilstein 5100's for the front and back to level out my SR5. If I go with a 2.5 front level what would be the adjustment for the rear, .5 inch or 1 inch to make it level? I want to thank everyone in advance, I am not the most mechanically minded person.

 

If your keeping rear stock I would say 1" lift in front will level vehicle to rear. If you've already purchased Bilstein s and are lifting 2.5" up front your gonna need at least 1"-1.5" in rear to level.

This will give an idea what your rig will look like with different settings front/rear. Also maybe an option for lifting the rear of your vehicle.

 

I did the 3rd clip position of 1.88inch up front and that made me about dead level. Ended up adding a 1" rear spacer to prevent squat. If you go the full 2.5 up fromt you may need to look into uca's if you hope to get it aligned properly.

 

This might be a dumb question, but can you adjust the rear shocks or do I need to add a spacer?

 

You cannot adjust OEM rear shocks on your SR5. You will need spacers or new coils to do any lifting in rear.

 

Only the front shocks are adjustable with the 5100's. Oem shocks are not ride-height adjustable at all. No spacer needed at 1.88inch *3rd clip* i just wanted it.

 

Even if I have the Bilstein rears? I'm not questioning your knowledge, I truly don't know and I want to learn. Thank you for all of you help and information.

 

Bilstein 5100 rears have no adjustment for height. Or for terrain for that matter. Simply an improvement over stock.

 

Thank you, I appreciate all the info, I guess I miss understood a post someone had saying they had a rear with .5 lift with them.

 

No worries. Rear are just a bit more firm but provide zero lift. The 5100's are designed as a leveling "kit" not a lift kit. Honestly the rear shocks are a piece of cake to replace.
