Hey everyone, I plan on installing bilstein 5100 tomorrow on my 2012 outdoorsman. I am on the fence between 2.1 and 2.8. 2.1 seems to be the safe way to avoid problems. If I set it at 2.8 beside the possible 4wd vibration, is there any other negative side effects on the cv angles? Like premature wear and tear. I've been going through old threads and just can't decide on which setting. Thanks for any advice.

Also i just measured, the rear sits 2.75 inches higher than the front so after 2.1 it will be just shy of level. I think I answered my own question.

My personal opinion is that 2.1 is just enough rake to look great, especially if you haul/tow and don't plan on adding airlifts. Also, it will be less likely that you will have vibrations in 4wd.
