So I'm looking at ordering bilsteins for the front and rear. Depending on what you guys tell me is going to change what setting I do. Down the road I'm doing a 4/3 kit but for now I'm going to just do a spacer in the back with bils front. How much can I lift the back before I have to get new shocks? I'm looking at running a 1.5" spacer rear with bils at 2.7. I only have 2" of lean in my truck. If I can't go that high I know I can do a 1" spacer without a problem and just set the front to 2.1. If I go 2.7 am I going to blow the uca? I'm looking at the 1.5 partially because I'm going to piece my lift together over time. I'm going to order zone 1.5 springs down the road for the full 3" lift in the back and probably zone or bds components for the rest of my needs

Doing my Bills tomorrow.
Based on everything i've read, you can go up to a 1.5 spacer on the rear springs before you need to get a longer shock.
As for the front it is a 2.8 setting (0, .7, 1.4, 2.1, and 2.8)
Front stock UCA can handle up to 2.8 lift with very minor risk failure. Most upgrade the UCA to a Mevotech if going over the 2.1 setting (as i am doing as well) just for extra security.
FYI front bills are adjustable, rear bills are not.

Good to know. Thank you. I may just get the 2.8 setting and if the uca pops I can change it out later. Hopefully I'll have my full lift by then. I definitely want 1.5 for the back

Ok. I had an idea and I think I'm set on going with 2.8 front 1.5 rear. With the blocks the front is about 3.5" higher which is where I would be with 35s. The rear is 2" higher which is .5" lower than I would be with 35. Original measurements
Driver front 36.75
Driver rear 39
Passenger front 36.75
Passenger rear 39.25
New measurements
Front 40
Rear 41
