anyone using adjustable bilstein fronts?
Hey
I see these bilstein 5100 coilovers on toytec's site. They say they are adjustable from stock to 2.5" of lift.
http://toyteclifts.com/index.php?pag...mart&Itemid=53
I am looking to do about a 2.5" lift in the front of my truck (97 4runner sr5)
I have used the search function and tried to research these.
I am wondering who is using them on their 3rd generation 4runner and with what mods.
Also, how are they holding up, ride quality, etc...
I want to know if this is a wise purchase or not.
Toytec lists them for the 4runner, but bilstein's site does not. They are for the runner right?
(I posted ths in the offroad tech section a few days ago and cannot delete the post. I do not mean to double post. sorry, Figured I would get a response in this one)

Yeah I be running them....
I like them and they ride good now.. they were a bit stiff at first ( i opted for the heavy duty springs), but now they are a lot better. I am running mine cranked about .5ish inches and it is lifted roughly 2" in the air. You can easily run 2.5" of lift in the front.

I run them to and I love them, they ride firm but not harsh at all. They are basicly the same as the ines used in the Sonoran steel lift. I wouldnt install anything other than Bilstiens on my trucks, cars, YES they are that good!!

Toytec is local to me and they are a reliable outfit. I have visited their shop and it is professionally run.
My lift however is not from them and you can do better price wise buying parts individually.

I thought you were not supposed to go any higher than 2" of suspension lift in front. Otherwise the CV angle is to extreme. True?
Also, what is the purpose of a top out spacer?
