Do I have this right?

Phylodog · Jul 6, 2017

I've got a 2103 RCSB that I plan to install a Zone 1.5" body lift on this weekend. I'm then dropping it off to have Bilstein 5100's installed at 2.8" on Monday. Once they're installed the 295/70R18 NTGs go on. In another week or so I'm planning to have a 4" Zone suspension lift installed. Hoping for 5.5" higher in the back and the front leveled with the rear but I have a couple of questions:

Any issues with leaving the Bilsteins at 2.8" when the 4" suspension lift goes on?

Once the suspension lift is installed I'll be ordering a cap/camper shell. I'm not looking for many features so it shouldn't weigh too much but wondering if I'll end up needing spacers for the rear to keep it from sitting nose high?

Any issues with what I'm planning?

i personally would wait and have the bilsteins and the 4" suspension lift installed at the same time....you will pay labor and alignment twice if you do them separate.

Those tires will easily fit with just the 4" suspension lift. Do you plan on getting even bigger tires later that you want the body lift too?

I got a steal of a deal on the NTG's and couldn't pass it up. Once they're used up I want to go to 37's.

I have the wheels and tires that are in the truck now sold so I need to get them off ASAP or I'd wait like you suggest.

once you put the body lift on see if they fit, if the rubbing is minimal you could then wait it out on the bilsteins

If I get the BL on this weekend I'll give that a try

4" zone lift comes with 2" rear spacer or 3" rear coils, so you will only get a max of 4.5" with your plan. Why not just do a 6" zone lift with 5" rear coils and bils in the front to level it out? I think you'd come out about the same price.

^^^^^^ this right here

I'd like to do a 6" but I'm concerned about getting vibrations with the short wheel base. I was hoping the 4" +1.5" BL + maxed Bilsteins would give me around 5.5".

Do I have this right?
