Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!

Yep. She looks a lot better with the Bils on, and I've enjoyed the ride quality improvement so far. I'm happy I went with them and that setting.

Finally got it done. '17 Express, Bils 2.8", Zone UCA's, TGC 1" spacer in the rear, 275/65/20 General Grabber AT2's on 20x9 Raceline Assaults. With the taller tires and lift it added 3 1/4" in the front and 1 5/8" in the rear. Ended up with about 3/4" worth of rake, I think I'll order some airlift's to keep it from sagging too much hauling the fishing boat.

Debating on running boards now. I don't have a problem at 6'5" getting in and out, but "normal" people might.

my finished level. Bils at 2.8, TGC 1.5 spacer. Next thing is tires. those 275s are looking a bit tiny now.

Got it done!!! Bils up front set at 2.1. Airlift 1000 leveling bags in the back for when I tow my 16 ft trailer and 4 wheelers. Stock sized BF Goodrich KM2s..... Very Happy with the ride and plan to add Bils in the back as well

See to me that looks perfect. The way it should come from factory. Beauty truck. Maybe some aggressive tires would help offset the size appearance. That’s with a spacer in the back? This is exactly what I want for June eventually

Mine are sitting in my office, I can't wait to get them on...

For anyone that has done the bilsteins and rear spacers do you have to get brake line extensions or anything ?

After lots of back and forth I think I’m gonna get the bils at 2.1, UCA’s and rear bils with 1.5 spacers. Am I missing anything ?

yes you are missing that front bils at 2.1 level truck without rear spacers...

but no u do not need to extend anything.

i still have rake with rear 1.5" and bils at 2.8

 

[Georgiasport]

I went with 2.1" and a 1" TGC rear coil space. I have a bit of a rake which I personally like. Didn't want it dead level. I also put the Airlift 1000 air bags in for when I go camping and ****.

 

[revitupmoto33]

5100’s all around
Set at 2.8 in front
Icon 1.75 lift coil in rear
Continental TerrainContact

Bils all the way around set at 2.8 with mevotech ucas, 1” spacer in rear and 295/55r20 pro comp mt2s. Dealer installed wheels and tire, eventually I’ll go with 20x10s and 35s. But this will do for a while

And the bils use the stock springs all around ?

What I find confusing is on the bil website I added the front adjustable and rear 0-1” in my cart and it’s $600 CDN. When I look up the kit it’s $1000 CDN part #P5155797.

So why the $400 difference. This is so confusing LOL

IMO if the truck is new just do bils in front UCA's if you wish and spring spacer in rear. I did the UCA's and glad I did since I can look and see how nice and vertical my ball joint is. I dont know about anywhere else but round hear if you have an over extended ball joint and hit one of these pot holes it's ruin your day for sure.

Yes no need to replace springs. Some guys do...

you SHOULD install bils in rear that are made for 1-2" taller spring IF you add 2" spacer or a taller spring by 2" (someone correct me if i am wrong here)

I got rough country upper control arms $299 Amazon shipped direct from Rough country
Bilstein 5100 adjustable front struts $94 each Amazon
rear 1.5" spacers off ebay $28 for set

will leave the factory rear struts until they need replacing
