Doing my Bilstein level tomorrow. Going 2.1 hoping for a very slight rake. What are you guys seeing on you 2.1’s ? I’m still waiting on my bora spacers, going on 15 days.

Very good question, with the lighter engine it should be higher.

please take before and after measurements and post them

If hemis are getting a full 2” then I’m concerned I may be a little high

I have a V6 and I have mine set @ 2.8", it's not like the V6 is that much lighter..... it's level, so if you set yours @ 2.1 you will have a slight rake.

Here is my pentastar v6 last year shortly after leveling with bills. They are set at 2.1. I didn’t want to max them, fearing a harsher ride. Glad i didn’t. 2.8 would have been to much for my liking. I don’t mind a small very small tad of rake. Even though I barely see any

Sweet looking truck!!!! The ride is still great and one heck of an improvement over the factory setup even @ 2.8 setting.

I just got the truck back. It’s measuring 39” up front (+2”) and 38.75” rear (-.25”) Looks like Ill be adding a spacer in the rear. It looks way nose height to me even though it on measures +.25” higher. Any thoughts on a adding a rear 1/2” spacer?

That looks great. I’m considering going up in tire size but I’m concerned that It will make it too sluggish. What tires are you running with your v6? Any noticeable changes in performance?

How bad did the 12.5 wides affect the truck?
