Adjustable Bilstein shock suggestions

Hey so I just installed my adjustable bilstein adjustables. And the coils have settled much lower than expected. Could I get some OME 881s or something to match with these if I leave it on the stock or 1.5 in setting??

A lot of people don't like the ride quality with those bilsteins. I personally have them and they ride is fine but they are a pain to mess with. Try putting them in the middle setting. If that doesn't help then yea you could get new coils and put them on the lowest setting. You might have a small rake.

They are currently in the middle setting but the coils have just decided to pretty much die..

So should I get stock coils or 99's? or go OME and leave them in the middle? Because something definitely needs to be done.

Well like Mauzer said u could get some Tundra coils and probably fix the issue. I wouldn't put the setting up to high cus the ride would be very stiff and bouncy. You wanna stay at stock levels and keep the billies get the Tundra coils.

That sounds like a good idea. Ill probably be able to find those easily or semi easily. I am guessing the 00-06 are the years Id be looking for right?

Correct, check your local JY, tundrasolutions, or here is an ebay listing (the seller always has tundra coils)
