Leveling ride height on 21 SR5

Ok guys I know this has been beaten to death but here I go.

Please give me the make and part number of the shocks needed to get my Tundra level. Fornt and back if necessary'
Also if I went with just the spacers up front, what make and model works best?

Thanks and don't be mad that I didn't search, posting this on the run!

 

Good luck in your search, man!

 

A spacer is a spacer. Anything made of strong enough material will function. They require the bumpstops to be spaced as well, which means you have less suspension travel. Ride is gonna suck.

 

I used Bilstein 5100s on the middle setting and it made my 21 Limited DC sit level. I've used Low Range Off Road spacers in the past, but it lifted the whole truck (Front 3", rear 1") and you lose some of your turning radius because of the bump stops. I've been very happy with the look and ride with the 5100s.

 

What is the ride like going from OEM to 5100 Series Bilsteins?

 

Honestly i really couldn't tell much difference at all. Didn't change it much at all.

 

The ride from a spacer is NOT gonna suck. Travel will be limited, but the ride is the same. Just make damn sure you get the alignment right after install.

 

Did you go for a level look? What size spacer??

 

I see some are made of Nylon and other out of aluminum

nylon is going into the coils. Thats definitely gonna make it rougher. Aluminum is a puck on the top of the shock.

any increase in height affects the ride. No way around it with a 2-2.5 inch lift

 

2-1/2 spacer. I used Rough Country because it was cheap. But I would recommend aluminum.

I miss that ol' girl

 

My suggestion would be 5100's on the middle setting. The cost isnt much more than nice spacers when you are all done. Alignment with any setup.

You may end up 1/4" to 1/8" lower on the driver's side. I can't see it but if I measure the lean is there. There are shims you can buy to correct that.

I'm running 5100's on the top setting. It measured close to level but the tundras look nose high when perfectly level. I ended up putting tapered 1 inch blocks in the rear. Debated rear shackles but I want to make sure I can shove a larger tire where the spare goes first. I do plan on going to 34.6" tire when I'm close to needing new, for a little more ground clearance and to balance out the look of the lift/tires a little better.

 

Going with the Rough Country spacer set up. My friend just got the Bilstein 5100 set up and I was not happy with the ride on top setting which looked like level. To each his own. Thanks guys

 

Why did you not like the Rough Country?

 

@eagleguy I used Rough Country 2” leveling struts in the front and RC N3 shocks in the rear. I’m happy with the stance.

 

@eagleguy Here ya go if you’d like to check them out. It gives you and option for rear shocks to be added. https://www.roughcountry.com/premium-n3-lifted-strut-501090.html

 

Eibach Stage 2 Pro Truck right out of the box gives 2 1/4” in the front giving 1/4” rake. My truck has no side to side lean.
