Bilstein settings...best result

[JesseMcD]

Brand new here, been reading all over the suspension threads and I guess I just missed it so Im sorry if this is redundant...Feel free to delete after you guys can answer it haha...

So Im getting a set of the Bilstein 5100's...when they are set to MAX height, what size/brand rear spacer would you suggest for a nice level lift.

Thanks so much...happy to be here!

This sticky has all the information you could ever want on suspension stuff.
That said, I think the max front lift on 5100s is 2.5", so a 1-1.5" rear spacer should eliminate the factory rake and make things pretty level. I have Daystar 1.5" rear spacers, they work great. Are you replacing front springs as well? New springs will probably yield slightly more lift than indicated if your stock springs are old and sagged.

Unfortunately no new springs...needed new shocks really bad and figured these were the best option! Thanks for the tip!!! Also, should I do a Diff drop with the 5100 being maxed?

I ran the same setup with Daystar 1.5" spacers in the rear for a while. It's a great option if you're just looking to get level.

Thanks man! What size tire did you run with that setup?

Real Quick guys...with the Max setting on the Bilsteins, should I or will I need a diff drop kit?

No, max the Billies and throw a 1.5" spacer in the rear. Good to go!

I have new 5100's all around. Fronts set at max. New Moog V8 Springs ($106) all around and a 1.5" Daystar Spacer. No diff drop needed.

Robaroni, what height were your rear billies?

Huh?
5100's only come one way.
