opinions on bilstein @ 2.8 and 1.5 inch zone body lift

I want to know opinions on bilstein 5100 level @ 2.8 inches and 1.5 inch zone body lift

I'll let you know in a month or so. I have Rancho QLL's and a Zone 1.5 lift right now, but I am swapping out the Ranchos for Bilsteins to gain at least another inch as I only got about 1.5" from the QLLs. IMO, this is the way to go... it's an easy and inexpensive way to gain 4" of lift while still leaving you the option to add a 4" or 6" suspension lift later on.

This is bilsteins @ 2.8 with 1.25" body lift and then with 4" superlift

ricky2010hemi · Mar 18, 2016

And now with bils @ 2.1, 4" superlift, and 1.25" body lift

For those with the body lift, did you have to purchase any extensions for the brake lines, steering, etc... I'm sitting on bils @2.8 and want the BL to give it a little more height.

ricky2010hemi · Mar 18, 2016

For the 1.25" no, but recently I've been thinking of switching to the 3" body lift and it looks like it comes with more hardware, brackets etc.. Which is making me wonder what would be involved in switching to the 3" BL when I've already running 4" suspention

RAMthevbied · Mar 18, 2016

Thats good to know. I'm set to purchase the zone 1.5. Would love to do the PA 3 inch or a 4" suspension, but working in the city with parking garages, won't allow for the extra height, so the 1.5 inch is the acceptable medium. Thanks for the info. OP when i get this installed I will post an update in this thread for you.

I'm assuming the 1.25 BL comes with bumper relocate, but what are you guys doing with the receiver hitch? And does any1 have have a side pic so I can c what the inner fenders and frame is looking like.

Both of these trucks were mine (since traded in) with Bilsteins @ 2.1" and Zone 1.5" body lift. Tires are Duratrac 315/70/17 with Method wheels.

IMO, it gave the perfect amount of lift to fit the 34" tires and not be over the top. Plus it's relatively inexpensive.

Express.... Did you have any fitment issues with the tire size. Im leaning towards a 34" tire as i think the 35" is too stuffy looking. Also how did you turn your exhaust tips up, or did you?

The body lift kits come with everything you need to complete the lift. No need to worry about the brake lines and such. If you're going with a 1.5" BL and Bils, I'd say go with 34's.

No issues with the tires rubbing. The wheels were 17x8.5" with 0 offset. Also, with the exhaust tips you loosen the clamp and adjust the tips up. With the 1.5" BL it doesn't require what a 3" BL would require to get the exhaust tips looking right.
