Did you guys just use one of those cheap ones that you tighten with an impact or what was it?
I snapped my cheap one and then had several places tell me they could only do car springs...

Ah right i thought it was necessary to ad a rear spacer... So if you have the bilsteins in the front at 2.1 you still have rake (wich i want) and can run 35 inch tires right?

Probably to get a tad bit of rake. So he isn't staring at jesus every time he is hauling
I dunno why that made me laugh so hard...

You should be set with the bilsteins in the front set at 2.1 then the rear at max. The 4x4's are a little higher stock than the 2x4 I believe and to the best of my knowledge, people are able to fit the 35's on the ram with just a leveling kit

Correct!
But with th correct offset wheel.
20x9, 0/+1 offset works without rubbing or VERY minimal. Most likely no rubbing.
Anything else will rub

Yes I have seen this done and looked great. Setup was 2.1" front Bilstein with a .75" rear spacer to keep rake. The rear spacer isn't mandatory, but preferred:
stock difference is ~ 2.5" so raising the front 2.1" nearly eliminates that...then the .75" rear spacer keeps back tires from looking stuffed in there and overall you basically cut the stock rake in half for a great look with 35" tire...stock rim works I believe. (initially the front is 2.5" lower than rear, +2.1" front brings you to .4" lower front...then lifting the rear .75" brings you to 1.15" lower front so the initial 2.5" rake is ~ cut in half...great look seemingly from the factory once it's all done and should still ride GREAT...would be nice if there was a progressive spring available at .75" lift...but all the ones I have seen are 2-2.25" and that's too high with 2.1" front and I don't want to max it out at 2.8" personally)

Here are some photos I have saved of 2" front and .75-1" rear (spacer) lift/level with 35" tires...so, not the Bilstein set to 2.1" but this is the look of that much level/lift at least...
Specifically, the white one is 2" front spacer and .75" rear from TGC on 35s and the blue is 295/65/20 tires under 2" front and 1" rear spacers.
After about 2 months of "research" I plan to order a 2013 CC 4x4 Sport A8 soon and do the Bilstein 5100 set to 2.1" and use a .75" rear TGC rear coil spacer, and run 35" Toyo ATs as I feel the white truck here looks awesome. A little rake left for tow/haul purposes...tires don't look stuffed but the lift is reasonable also and not "too high" like 4-6" would be for my personal use and likes...

I am sure that this has already been answered somewhere on the forum but I am going to ask anyhow. I have a 2013 1500 4x4. I have purchased a pair of bilstein 5100 which I plan on setting at 2.1 and .75 inch spacers from top gunz customs for the rear. Here is my question, I have the 17 inch 5 star factory wheels, which I really like. Would it be possible for me to run something like a 315/70/17 or something like that on these wheels or do I need to swap to 20's?
