Thanks to all for posting their pics and results! Huge help, even years later!
the way the rocker is it looks neg raked or saggy to me unloaded w 1.75"/0".
stock springs are soft, just accelerating from stop will make it squat, 800lb of quickcrete and you're basically a hardtail riding on the bump stops

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks! I presume with so many going the .85 route, this isn't an issue at all. Thanks for the quick feedback. I know the look is entirely subjective based on whether you are focusing on wheel wells or the frame. Just don't want to try to pull max lift and end up squatting so much in daily use that it looks ridiculous.

1.75 will give you negative rake without any additional weight.

You are making a sound decision...if you haven't see this thread check it out, IMO it looks really good at this setting.

Thanks! I was already looking through that thread. Some actual pics of the .85 would've been nice in there. Lots of talk, very few pics. I'll be adding mine soon along with my new shoes...can't wait.

Here is 5100's set at .85, stock rear. I did tons of research prior to adding mine, .85 is perfect IMHO. Way to many people have reverse rake at 1.75, it is not worth it. Yea, their wheel wells look level, but everything else looks odd.

.85 Front lift

Which notch do you set the stop ring at to achieve .85 front lift? There seem to be 5 options? Thanks

If anything, I'll just put a 1" spacer on the driver side to correct the lean issue which should lift the rear L about .65" and the rear R about .35" from what I've heard.
Nice rig bro. Im running the bilsteins 5100's 2.5/1.5 and want 285's like you. Did your's rub at all? Did you have to do any cutting or anything? Im trying to avoid that..

I just had my 5100 installed Thursday. Set on max height / setting front. Gives the slightest negative rake... 1/4” at most. Ordered a 1 inch rear spacer. Running stock wheels with 275/70 KO2’s. No other mods. Rides like a truck, stiffer but smooth. Pavement princess lol. No rub at all for me

Here's 1.75 up front and Dobinsons 599 in rear. 285's haven't rubbed even a tad on road or off

For reference this was .85 up front and stock rear with 265's. Surprisingly the 1.75 front handles as well so far

Bilstein 5100s all around 1.75 up front, 1" spacer in rear

I installed 5100s all around with the 1.75" setting up front and 1" spacer in the rear to preserve a little factory rake. All springs are stock. Then I threw on some 265/70R/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s and went camping! In this shot it's still nice and shiny before hitting the trails.

Have you installed your 5100 and have it set at the top setting (2.5)? How does it feel?

I have 1.5"rear lift springs in the back whe the front are set at 1.7. Im debating on lifting the front to the highest setting to make it a bit more level.
