Adjustable 5100 bilsteins
I installed LC coils on the rear of my 2000 t4r and tundra coils and struts(yellow) on the front. I'm now sitting at 36" ground to fender on front and 39" rear. So, a 3" rake. I'm buying new 5100 adjustable struts for a 2006 tundra if they will level the truck a bit more. I don't mind a small rake, but 3" is too much. Will the advertised lift amount of 2.5" be true on the t4r or will it be greater? I haven't found a good answer yet from google and hope someone on this forum has the answer. I am sure this has been covered, but all I can find are questions about fitment and ride height from stock. Thanks.

If you use the Tundra Bilstein 5100, that may work. Not sure though about the other Bilstein 5100s such as those for the 4Runner and Tacoma. Have you measured the distance between the hub center and the bottom of the fender flare?
Btw, which LC coils did you use? How many wraps are they?

When I ran the 5100's in my 99 SR5 I just did the minimal lift and got a spacer for the rear. i think the difference was about the same so the rig set pretty level. I did have some camber issues in the front though. Did you run into any of that? I IMMEDIATELY noticed my tires were riding on the outside lip and really loud. It eventually quieted down as that tread wore down, then reemerged when I rotated my tires, then down again. Didnt seem to 'damage' the tires but the outsides are def don't have as much tread as they used to.
