Suspension finally sorted!

[Travis Whitmore]

After an unsuccessful go with Fox coilovers I was able to get the truck squared away today. Bilstein 5100's at top setting, added a 1/4" top spacer and Cognito UCA's up front. Added Readylift 2.25" rear spacers as well. So far happy with the stance and ride. On Toyo AT2's in 295/60/20 my fender to ground measures 40.5" up front and 41" rear.

looks great - as someone who also has Cognito UCAs and bilstein 5100s, I agree that's the way to go, very smooth ride!

How much lift the bilsteins give you?

How much lift the bilsteins give you?

 

Looks like about 2" and the additional spacer gave me almost 1". I gained 1.25" over my 2" spacer leveling blocks that did give me exactly 2" so thats about 3.25" over stock. However, things may settle a bit, not sure.

First impressions after driving it today. Feels a little more firm over small bumps. Large stuff like speed humps are way better than before. No more pogo stick feeling front end. Much more controlled and it feels like the tires are staying in contact with the ground.

Looks great, you use the Ride Height Bilsteins I presume? Also did you go with Bilsteins in the rear or just keep stock rear shocks?

[Travis Whitmore]

Yes, 5100's at highest setting with an additional 3/8" top spacer between the top hat and upper spring perch. It was sold as a 1/2" lift spacer from motofab but I think it gave me a bit more. 5100's on the rear as well with the readylift 2.25" block kit.

What issues did you have with the Fox coilovers?
