Corn fed and Bilsteins 5100s

[SilverFox2020]

A couple months ago I bought some new 5100s from a member here, and yesterday I got my Cornfed 2/1 spacers so now it’s time to do the level/ lift. Where should I set the front shocks at to get the level stance, 0” lift or .75”?
My rig is a 20 ORP with 20k miles that I do wheel around NC and Tenn. For now I plan on keeping my stock wheels and moving either to 275 size tire or toying with the thought of going to a 255/80 pizza cutter. No plans on changing the front or rear bumpers so I’m staying with the stock springs.
TIA.

Why install a spacer with Bilstein 5100 up front?
Just set the Bilstein 5100 at top notch to give you 2.5"
Add 1" spacer in back and you will be level.
Do a search and you will see photos how it looks.

First, I have Eibach shocks not Bilsteins. Walked in the shed after posting and had a facepalm moment. :dizzy:
Second you raise a good question. Are front spacers necessary?
My thought was they would compress the spring some adding a little stiffness and with the shock set at the lowest setting I would get more travel.

The spacers that go on the top of the strut (small Cornfed or Rough Country) do not compress the springs over stock, thus the ride remains the same.
