    Looks nice. I installed the same Bilstein 5100s front & rear w/rear AAL setup on my 2018 Frontier SV 4x4. One thing to pass on may be to loosen all brake & e brake lines before lowering the front or rear axles. You could see yours really coming tight on top or the rear pumpkin(as I cringed). But, it really looks good... Congratulations & enjoy!

    That's a perfect stance....I even prefer a little more rake myself. I don't know why the hell everyone's trying to level their trucks....mall crawling I guess. If you use your truck for truck things at all you're gonna want some rake....nothing looks worse than a saggy ass! I actually put in the Firestone airbag system for easy adjustment....I always wanted to do it to my old '03 but never got around to it, but works great on the '17.

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 роки тому

      I definitely liked the leveled stance more when I first bought my truck. And I think that’s fine if you don’t use your truck to haul much. But I started using it to haul stuff more and more and I started not liking it so much. So yeah I’m all about the take now. Just more functional

    Hello. I've been enjoying your off road videos lately and have commented on a few of them. This video came up when I was searching for info on Add-a-Leaf and Bilstein 5100's. If those are 5100's I've got a question. There are two 5100's listed for the Tacoma rear. One is to be used in conjuction with a 0-1" lift and the other for 4" lifts. Do you know which one you ended up using? Thanks a ton!!

  • @xlillo6175
    @xlillo6175 Рік тому

    Why did you opt for increased coil spring weights to get lift instead of just using a higher clip position and using stock springs? I've asked this question to some of the common Tacoma aftermarket suppliers and keep getting indirect answers. I watched your 3rd vid and I can say that I don't want as much stiffness as what you ended up with. I suppose if you were adding a bumpers, a shell and other gear it might equalize, but as an empty truck I don't know why heavier springs are being suggested. Also, I too would love to know if you ever determined any comparative on the TRD Bilsteins vs. the 5100? Yet another mystery. I appreciate the straight forward review.

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  Рік тому

      So essentially the reason I chose to do new springs instead of adjusting the clips is because the spring themselves provide the lift. Therefor, your will be more travel out of those springs compared to the stock springs. For me that was important. And they are honestly just 10 lbs higher rating, I think they just needed to break in. Also, if you’re planning on doing more serious off roading I would go 5160’s for front and 6112s in the rear. MUCH better suited for off roading than the 5100s. In fact, I’ve talked to bilstein and they told me that the 5100 are rated for a lift above 1”. Which isn’t a big deal on the street but if you’re flexing the truck then it is

    • @xlillo6175
      @xlillo6175 Рік тому

      @@OFFTHEGRIND Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems that stiffness you're realizing is from the higher rate spring. Also, too I don't believe you're getting more travel doing it this way. Seems like the range of travel is limited by your bump stop and shock length. So with the new 5100 regardless of the spring used (stock vs AM) your travel remains constant. The lift is variable by changing spring and or clip position. At least as I understand. With this I'm still at a loss as to why some companies are selling lift like this when truck weight remains constant through mods. Watch the videos from @TinkerersAdventure.

    @MrSeafoo 4 роки тому +1

    Good reasoning with thinking ahead. My TRDOR is stock but I’m building a cabin and I’ll be getting a snowmobile and a UTV. Now you got me thinking ahead with my future mods👍. Is there a 1” Aal option out there? Did your rear settle much?

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 роки тому

      Brent not that I could find. There’s a 1.5” three leaf add-a-leaf system, but from what I’ve read you don’t use the overload leaf so it actually hurts load capacity. Could be wrong, but that’s what I’ve seen. If you’re hauling stuff like that, I think you’d probably be better off looking at an entirely new leaf pack from OME
      And yeah, I think it may have settled, but half an inch at the absolute max

    How has the 5100's and the add a leaf been holding up under weight with a bedrock, rooftop tent, and camping gear, coolers, etc..etc? Now that you've been using this set up, is there anything you might do different if you had the chance? Great video, thanks.

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 роки тому

      I would guess that I have about 350-400 pounds of gear when I load up for a trip and it just about levels the truck. Off road, it does feel a little floaty but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that the weight of the tent is up so high rather then the springs getting soft under load. I think I’ll likely get a medium duty leaf pack eventually but for now they are great! Can’t say I’d do anything any different

  • @SpeediiEddie
    @SpeediiEddie 3 роки тому

    What clip setting are you running in the front? My truck has a 1” spacer in the rear that I wish to replace, it squats really bad with anything over 200lbs, and rides pretty rough when driving over potholes or rough roads. I also noticed my truck sits a bit lower in the front has a bit of rake, I crawled under and it looks like the previous owner set the front clip at the 4th clip setting, do you think that moving it to the 5th setting will raise it up a bit and level it with the rear I were to AAL ? Or would the 5th setting and the AAL yield the same stance I currently have?

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  3 роки тому

      The 5th and an add a leaf is essentially what I have here. They will give you about two inches front and back so it will maintain the rake. Difference is though that the add a leaf handle weight a whole lot better

      Glad I could help! Just so you know, I talked to Bilstien after this and they said that the 5100 is not rated for more than a 1" lift in the rear. I would highly recommend upgrading to the 5160 as that will handle the lift better. the 6112s would be a good upgrade for the front as well. But it depends on your use. If you're not doing heavy off roading where you are drooping or hanging a wheel, then you'd be fine with the 5100s

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 роки тому +1

      33s easy in the back and up front with a little cutting. For the price I don’t think you can beat it honestly. It is a bit of a rough ride specifically in the back, but with some weight in it it feels fine. I’d love some Kings to get that cloud feel but not going to drop that kind of money on those.

      The add a leaf, if you choose the single add a leaf, adds a little to payload capacity. It does however make the ride a bit stiffer when unloaded. Loaded though it feels great. If you’re just looking for aesthetics, then the block is fine. But if you use your truck for hauling or a roof top tent, then go for the add a leaf

      DavidJenk253 how about fuel economy with the 265’s? How much did it all settle, if any? I just bought 5100’s all the way around and doing an AAL too. I plan on setting the fronts to 1.5 and expect the rears to be within the 1.5-2 inch range, just trying to get an idea from someone with a somewhat similar set up

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 роки тому

      Not much of a change with the tire size. They are barely bigger than stock. The front settled maybe .25 of an inch but the back I don’t think settled much at all. It ended up being 2” front and rear and I really like it. I have a tent and stuff now so when it’s loaded it is level

      @@OFFTHEGRIND Yeah, she looks good man.The biggest difference is im planning on using the stock springs to get 1.5 up front and the toytec AAL in the back which I guess is approx 1.5-2. Did you have the infamous taco lean?I don't recall you installing the 1/4 inch strut spacer in your first video for the fronts. My truck does and im debating on whether to get it or not, afraid it'll be more pronounced with the lift.

    Not gonna lie I think your truck looks awesome with your wheel and tire set up you have now, I'm looking to do something similar to my 2012 tacoma I currently run 265/75/r16 toyo open country rt trails on black rhino shogun wheels 16's on stock height, I'm wanting to keep the same rake only just slightly lifted on both sides, thats if my melt mod won't help me with the slight rub on the front. Also, I'm not an offroader by any means, but would love to hit up some trails and a little muddin, what would you recommend? The bilstein and OME springs in front and block in the rear for what I want to achieve??? Thanks taco bro 👍🏽

I have called both Bf goodrich and falken who are popular for making this 275 size and they both told me the reason it weights so much is because they were meant to go on Jeep stock from the dealership and Jeep asked them to design it heavier.

    You did this by yourself, great job! I can save me some money 💴 if I do this myself. The average cost to take it in to get a lift kit, $5100. How much would I save and what was the hardest part of doing it by yourself? I was thinking the Add-a-leaf.

      No the bilstein 5100 is the lift kit. It cost around $800 from headstrong off-road. Honestly I have know how much you’d save cause I never priced that. But assuming technicians charge $100 per hour, I would imagine $500-$700 to install. The add a leaf really isn’t that hard. Honestly don’t know what the hardest part would be. It’s all pretty easy

But after purchasing it. I realize I've dig deeper into it. Progressive or a new leaf pack is far better and comfortable than a single aal. Single aal is great, but you'll need to have weight to keep the ride qaulity okayish.. block isn't the best, but definitely a lot more smooth and definitely gives you the lift of your desire. And I believe a single aal. Just adds more to axle wrap than stock leafs or blocks.
