Bilstein 5100 question(s)

[Badlizard]

Hey guys, just need a reality check here, and TIA.

Earlier this year I had a Rough Country leveling kit installed. However, now I'm feeling like I want to replace the struts/shocks all around because the truck is feeling like it could benefit from new ones. It's a 2013, but only has 39k miles. If I go with the 5100's, am I correct in thinking that the front strut spacers will go away, and the 5100's will be adjusted accordingly?

Question 2: will the Rough Country rear spring spacers stay in place with the installation of the 5100 rear shocks?

I'm thinking 'yes' to both, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
Bill

Take out the front spacers, the Bilsteins will do the lift with their adjustable spring perch. The rear Bilsteins are not adjustable.

If going to 1.5 or more you may want to keep the rear spacers to avoid a reverse rake.

I'm at 0.85 and close to level with no spacers.

I second this. Remove the front spacer with the 5100’s and leave the rear spacer if you are going to use the second notch on the 5100’s up front. This should level everything out for you.

Bilsteins at 0.85, no spacer in the rear. I do have airbags but they were at 5 psi.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input & affirmation of what I suspected. The Rough Country leveling kit included a 1" spacer, which resulted in an approx. 2" lift in the front. I want to maintain my current vertical stance as-is (don't want the front any higher or lower than it currently is).
