I currently have 1500 with 6” Superlift. I am wanting to know about how much extra lift I can get by adding Bilsteins? I know I will have to take out preloaded spacer. I am running 35x12.50 Kanati mud hogs on 22x12 -45 wheels. I want to go up to 37’s but my 35’s already rub front bumper since wheels are 12” and backspace/offset. I think (but not real sure) if I can get an extra 2” roughly I can clear 37’s and not rub. I don’t really want to go with body lift nothing wrong with them just a bigger job than I want to do.

And if able to achieve the lift I am wanting will it be to much of a angle on cv axles?

Also what Bilsteins would I need 5100 or 6112? Truck is driven daily and I do rarely do a little off-roading nothing to extreme.

I have the 5100s on my 6" superlift. They are set at 2.8 my 35x12.5s rub but they are on 24x14s. When the shop installed they screwed up and left the preload in and it cleared then. Now it rubs at 1 turn the lower inch or so of the bumper. Valance was trimmed

Do you happen to know what the height measure from fender to ground?

Also your truck looks good. I was debating on getting red wheels to be different from everyone else but was afraid I wouldn’t like them afterwards. Now I wish I would have.
