Ep. 15. A Better Ride AND 2+ Inches On The Bottom Notch Of Bilstein 5100s For The Sequoia/Tundra,

[@toddkokko5049]

Just got my install done and went on a test drive. My first impression is that this setup is so much better than being on that third notch. This is an under rated mod. Thanks for the advice and your videos. Todd

[@1stgenoffroad]

Nice! Glad it worked out.

[@matt2565]

Did the Dobinsons C59-302 give you 2.5 inch lift in front ?

[@erikvan357]

I did this exact lift to my 06 Tundra. Thanks for the suggestion! It works great 1 hard learned reccomendation: dont use the polyurethane spring isolator. It will shit out the side and the spring will push it off. Use rubber spring isolators from a 2000's era tacoma or 4runner. Good luck!

[@robsnizzle79]

So are you using the spring/shock setup along with an actual lift kit?

[@marktra8two]

I just installed 5100's on my 1st gen tundra. I just used the stock coils on the 3rd slot to level it out. I live in a rural area, no machine shops around here so I just used the single spring compressor set that I have. It worked but man I was sweating the entire time. I think I will order another one and use 2 spring compressor sets next time. Thanks for the video.

[@MArleyzZz]

How much left did you get man?

[@marktra8two]

Pretty much just leveled the front out with the back. Mine is just 2wd though. I don't think you can go as high with a 4x4.

[@stangrunder9835]

@@marktra8two Hey Mark, I have an 05 tundra single cab 2WD. From what I see in your post you got your truck to level out and that is what I am trying to accomplish. How is your truck driving a year later? any tips? thanks

[@marktra8two]

@@stangrunder9835 I ran with the stock coils for a few months on the 3rd slot. It leveled the truck out nice but it was a little stiff in the front. I ended up upgrading to the dobinson springs. I also went with a 2" lift in the back to keep a little rake because I tow. This also allowed me to put bigger tires. The truck rides smooth and I have no complaints.

[@jawaring]

Josh, has anyone retrofitted that 4.5" Tundra lift to fit a Sequoia? Front seems like it should be bolt on and then I'm guessing a coil spacer for the rears + a carrier bearing spacer would make it work. I've always wanted that extra little clearance for 35's on the sequoia!

[@1stgenoffroad]

Yeah, front would work just like a Tundra. carrier bearing spacer, Dobinsons long travel shocks and OME 2860 springs in the rear.

Great information! Exactly what I was looking for. I just got a set of Dobinsons and Bilsteins for my lifted Civic Wagon. Just made a video about it too, the Bilstein came set up on the top perch. The ride is super bouncy and I lost a lot of flex. So I'm going to take it all apart again and go to the bottom perch to test that.

[@MS-oz2wu]

With this spring left have a negative effect or your front end parts or driveline; as Bilstine Manufacturer stated?

[@1stgenoffroad]

I recommend aftermarket upper control arms for any lift over 2". A diff drop is a good idea to prevent the CV boots from leaking grease after the lift. I also recommend extended front sway bar links. The factory links are on the short and skinny side and can sometimes snap after a lift. The extended links can accommodate the lift and still keep you stable on the highway.

Fine sir, may I please ask you a question related to this topic? On a 2004 Sequoia I have recently added KYB front shocks and use them with original springs. I also put a 1 inch strut spacer a.k.a. 2 inch leveling kit from Amazon on it. I have new ball joints and everything works intact but when I hit bumps at low speed I’m definitely getting a clunk from the left side. My question is could this seriously be from something as insignificant as the strut caps? Top hats is what I see some ppl call them. Thank you and your videos come highly recommended on the Sequoia forum from Reddit.

The lift is all spring and no spacer. The higher that clip goes, the more preload there is and the worse the ride is. This is bottom notch quality ride with 5th notch lift.

Will I get the same result with the bilstein 6112 with that spring on 1st gen tundra?

[@1stgenoffroad]

@@GrandmasFolly No. This spring is too small to fit on the Bilstein 6112.

[@GrandmasFolly]

@@1stgenoffroad Thanks for the quick reply, I guess I’ll just have to deal with the rough ride.

[@scubbarookie]

Tundras and Sequoias are a great base for any overlanding projects! You can daily most Toyotas and be safe knowing they're so reliable! 👍

[@Nacturnal702]

older video ,I know ,not 50 dollars any more try 150 each shock,, watch this now and when you launched this video,,going outside to do mine

[@hardog22]

I have a 06 tundra double cab. I want to put bigger tires on there. I have the 5100s what should I do.

[@1stgenoffroad]

Run 2885 springs with your Bilsteins on the BOTTOM notch. Here is that spring, it ships for free: www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/p255/TundraARBOldManEmuFrontCoilSprings.html You also need a new insulator here: amzn.to/2wh3zfb

[@hardog22]

Bummer I just got the dobbins in the mail. Could this still work.

[@1stgenoffroad]

Yeah. That will work!

[@hardog22]

1stgenoffroad go on 2nd notch as well on bilsteins?

[@1stgenoffroad]

@@hardog22 What Dobinsons springs?

[@hewpteehewptee3362]

Can you run 6110s with dobinsons springs instead of the 5100s, or would they be too wide?

[@jameslewis1179]

I meant 6112s

[@1stgenoffroad]

Yeah, 6112s are too wide for Dobinsons springs. The 6112s come with a 650 lbs spring. If you’re looking for a stiffer spring for the Bilstein 6112 shocks, you can get a 700 pound Eibach spring here: www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/p265/TundraEibach700spring.html

[@mrbmd710]

What size spacers did you use on top of these shocks?

[@1stgenoffroad]

That's the spacer from the Tuff Country 4.5" lift here: www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/p603/TundraTuffCountry5Inch.html

[@thetruthrover]

The bilsteins say you can only add up to 1" of lift on 4x4 models, why is that?

[@1stgenoffroad744]

Has to do with the increase angle of the CV boots. But it’s the same issue for any lift over 1”, not just Bilsteins. Guys do it all day long.

[@thetruthrover]

@@1stgenoffroad744 Thanks for the reply. Currently have 1-1/2" spacers and the ride sux. Would the Bilsteins along with my stock springs keep me at the same height?

[@rageface101]

Does the spring perform the same with the added weight of the tundra versus a 4Runner or Tacoma?

[@1stgenoffroad]

Haven't done a side by side comparison. I do like it better than what I had before and better than my stock '06 Tundra.

[@1stgenoffroad]

Because of where the springs in located in the tundra vs. 4Runner, these springs will feel stiffer on the Tundra than they do in the lighter 4Runner.

[@sandovalpaul]

Do you still have the white tundra

[@1stgenoffroad655]

No. Sold it to my Dad.

[@dylangraves8237]

Would these springs work on a 2004 tacoma?

[@1stgenoffroad]

This is what you want for the Tacoma. www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/p193/ARB_Old_Man_Emu_2880_front_springs_%2796-%2704_Tacoma.html

[@burnyknob9502]

anyone will these dobisons work on my 4600 stock shocks

[@geraldfiorello6231]

Good video great music 👍thanks man

[@JuanManuel-fm9jt]

WOULD THIS WORK FOR 3rd Gen tacoma 5100?

[@1stgenoffroad]

Absolutely. I might use a different spring based on the weight of your vehicle, but bottom notch of the Bilsteins with the appropriate Dobinsons or OME spring will provide all the lift you're looking for. Take a look at the Tacoma part of the website here: www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/c52/1996-2004-Toyota-Tacoma-Suspension

[@burnyknob9502]

advice anyone with experience bilstien 5100 with stock coils or rancho quicklift. i have a spacer right now.

[@berryreading4809]

I vote 5100s, it's a good time to update the springs if you can afford to, personally I'd go with the eibach pro lift strut over the Rancho

[@burnyknob9502]

@@berryreading4809 thanks ill check them out. I want something decent but not crazy expensive. I bought my truck with 285s already on it and spacers and if i take spacer out my wheels rub. So i figure the money it cost to buy new tires i could put toward a proper lift instead.

[@burnyknob9502]

will this work and add lift to my stock billsteins on my 05

[@burnyknob9502]

and is that the price for one coil or set?

[@tn2378]

Would this work for 02 sequoia?

[@1stgenoffroad]

Yes sir. Same way.

[@aljimbusinesschannel6257]

How’s the ride?

[@1stgenoffroad]

Better than stock

[@Joe_in_the_506]

How can we contact you? I want to buy one of your front bumpers for my 2006 Sequoia.

[@1stgenoffroad]

Two options addictedoffroad.com or bruteforcefab.com

[@Proteanlife]

I need this set up on my 2nd gen tundra like now. Running 5100 bilsteins at top notch wwith factory springs and lifted old man emu springs in the back and need another inch and a half to even out. How would that work?

[@lex4758]

You can get the toytec shim spacer. U can use the .5 inch shim. I think on the front suspension. The .5 inch will yield you an extra inch up front.

[@Proteanlife]

@@lex4758 Thanks!

[@landonearley6996]

I’m wanting to get the spring and I’ve look on your website and about the price. Is that for 1 spring or pair?

[@1stgenoffroad]

the springs are all sold in pairs.

[@landonearley6996]

1stgenoffroad I’ve got the bilstein adjustable struts on mine and it’s 2wd. I’m getting the coils and top bushing for it but with mine being a 2wd do I need to stay on bottom notch or can I go to the 2nd one.

[@landonearley6996]

1stgenoffroad I went back on your video and heard you say something about the 2nd notch on the shock. And how can I get a coupon for your site. I’m ready to order the green shocks and top bushings for mine. Befor I order I wanted to ask about a coupon. But if not it’s cool.

[@landonearley6996]

COIL SPRINGS...

[@1stgenoffroad]

Stay on the bottom.

[@boodyspringer4199]

Fabtech Tundra coilovers are better. Several more inches of spring travel.

[@Empath-xb6sf]

Bad choice with the extra spacer lift on top

[@1stgenoffroad]

So far so good.
