Does anyone know if it's possible to lift a 2WD 1500 a few inches, while maintaining stock or better ride quality? Given that Bilstein doesn't make a 5100 for the 2WD, my options are not immediately apparent.
Thanks!

I may just go that route...
How about using a 4" Spindle Lift up front, from CST, then using a Bilstein or Rancho shock on the rear to get 2-3" there, and keep it level? I believe that Bilsteins and Ranchos will fit 2WD on the rear, just not the front.
Would that work? Would the ride be weird, with stock shocks up front and Bilstein in the back?

Wouldn't work, rear shocks aren't adjustable but you could use that shock just for a good quality shock with a spacer or a lift spring

Based on my research, the CST spindle kit keeps all of the stock components up front, all the rear is is just a 1.5 inch coil spacer. They recommend a longer shock to compensate, but only for the rear.
In the case, they recommend a bilstein or the rancho.
