Then there's how she is now. FJ trail team wheels, URD TCAI, Body Armor rear bumper and side steps, US Off-road winch mount bumper, 10k Engo winch, devil horn emblem, wet okole seat covers with custom logo.
 
Demo man, any issues installing the rear body armor bumper? I also like those okole seat covers. Did you get them for the back seats too? So expensive.

No issues except for having to buy a license plate frame with a light. That's about it. Did it by myself. I gave just the front seat covers as of now. Getting back for xmas.
 
I wonder if anyone had issues with adjusting them to the next c spring bracket setting? ? I looked everywhere online to find 5100 bilstein adjustments instructions but have come up empty handed
 
Several things come into play here. Factory weight of the front of the truck or not. If not how much have you added? How might you add in the future? That will help determine the spring load you need! Then the height is easy. You can get 3.5" of lift, but, then CV axle angles are going to help cut, rip grease boots more quickly! Then rim offset and back set come into play with where or not your hitting/ rubbing Body Mounts, inner wheel wells, Swaybar, inner corner of the front plastic bumper cover. Factory Toyota wheels of 7.5" in width bolted to the factory hubs usually mean cutting the Body Mounts for 285's. First Tire width and height, then rim width and diameter. Then someone at a shop who knows wheel brands and offset and back set for what you pick out can fit it all correctly!
 
Where'd you get the devil horns from thinking of getting white ones because they look sick

Thanks for the insight silver!
 
I went to a shop and the guy mentioned putting a ruff country lift on top of my 5100 bilstein shocks. But I've been reading about not putting a lift kit on top of my 5100s. Another shop guy mentioned putting a toytec 3 inch lift up front with 2 inch block on the back. He mentioned a stiffer ride which I already knew would happen from reading about it in the forums but can I get away with adding a lift kit on top of my 5100s to fit a 285/75/16 tire?
 
Stock front bumper ? Not adding any weight? 2884 OME front coil springs with the 5100's 2-3" of lift won't ride rough ! Then through 2" blocks longer u bolts in the rear. I'd do longer shocks in the rear to.

Stock bumper. The front I have the avid off road bar plus a skid plate which of course will add extra weight. There's currently a slight front rake. So 2884 ome front coil springs with 5100s set a which setting? I noticed they are currently set at the second from the bottom setting. Also I have the bilsteins with oil reservoirs in the rear. Would longer rear shocks be necessary? Thanks for your help. I'm trying to find a lift that is cost friendly and that can work with what I've got on the baja. Currently have the red trd Springs in front I believe they're maybe ebachs.
