Will this set-up work?

[steve73]

I could not find any information..

I would like to know if this set-up would work O.K

2011 TE(In driveway)
4x Bilstein 5100(ordered)
2'' All-Pro rear springs(in shopping cart)

would like to run front shocks set to 2.5'' up front and the All-Pro springs out back.

Running 2.5" up front on the Billies, might, might require some aftermarket UCA's to get your alignment dialed in...

As far as the back springs, stay stock, save money and add a spacer.

Will the rear springs work if I run the common 1.75'' setting?
or would the ass end sit too high.

I would think too high.

I'm not trying to deter you from running what you want. If you want 2.5"/2", then go for it...When you start lifting that high though, you start losing adjustability in the factory upper control arms for alignment...Again, not saying you will need aftermarket ones, just saying you "might".

It sucks when you try mismatching components from different manufacturers...It can get tricky.

Some 2" springs are softer/stiffer and may/may not look right when installed with different front parts...

The best thing to do, is use the search function and see what others are running on their rigs. That way, you can visually see the differences.

Yes you are right...I think i will go with the 1.75'' raise and a spacer for the rear.

I have went through almost every lift archive here.

I'm a Jeep(EX) guy so this is all pretty new turf for me

Do you think a 1.5 rear spacer would do the trick,to level it out?

Thanks again

this would work just fine, a couple guys on here have that same setup.

Bilstein at 2.5" with 1.5 rear Daystar Spacer

My 2010 TE started with about a 2" rake. I raised the front to the full Bilstein height of 2.5" and added rear 1.5 Daystar spacer, which only added 1" due to the weight on the rubber spacer. I now have about a .5" rake.

Not to argue, and it is probably the angle of the camera, but it looks more like a .5 reverse rake to me! Nonetheless, very nice looking rig!

A ton are running the Bilsteins, but who's running the 2" All Pro rear springs?

1.5" springs or a 1.5" spacer in the rear and 2.5" up front usually level out the 4R, as stated in the above post.

2" springs will usually give you a pretty good rake (1" or so).

You are correct, I think it looks like that in this pic. It must be the angle of the camera and/or the level of the ground. When I lifted the front to 2.5 and added the rear spacer, the shop measured the height all around.
