Bilsteins at 2.8, what size rear spacer?

jsteinm1 · Jan 27, 2015

I've got a pair of Bilsteins sitting in my closet waiting to go on. I'm looking to sit pretty much level (would prefer to err on the side of rake, and not nose high). My question is, what wold be the best rear spacer to match up with these? Right now I'm leaning toward a 1" spacer. I see quite a few with a 1.75" and it looks like it has a good amount of rake yet. I also want to do a 3" body lift down the road if that has any affect.

Truck measures 36-5/8" in the front wheel well and 39-1/4" in the rear

I added 1" in rear with bils in rear also. Rides sweet and has slight rake.

I added 1" spacers also from TGC. Also added the BIL 5100's on the back to compliment the bil's up front.

Your truck has 2.62" of rake stock. You want to retain at least 0.5" of rake to avoid looking nose high. So a 1" spacer would work well for you.

Do you guys have any pics with the 1" spacer?

Also, do you guys think running billion the rear is worth while?

No pics, maybe I'll try to snap some today.
Absolutely I think running them in rear makes a difference. Stock shocks are garbage.

Your best bet would be to install them let them settle and take measurements to know what you need to get you where you want to be, any other way you are just guessing but would still be pretty close
