19 Warlock leveling

[Idahohunter]

Thank you. You gave me a lot of great information. I really appreciate it. Definitely sold on Bilstein. My Warlock came with 20x9 wheels, so just to be safe I’ll go with 285x65 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I’ll post pics when it’s done.

Done - I'm happy with how it turned out. Thank you everyone.

Bilstein's in the front set to 2.8. Sits about 1in high in the rear unloaded. With the warlock factory lift you'll only see 2in of lift with the bils. The Factory lift is only about .7"

So did you have to to UCA's also with doing the bilsteins? I'm looking at leveling mine. My difference from front to rear height it almost exactly 2 inches

I did not have to get new UCA's when I went up to 2.8. I was able to get everything aligned in spec and didn't have any problems. My angles were just fine when I was on stock tires, But when I went up to 35's the angles were alot better. I drove around 18,000 miles on stock tires and bils at 2.8 with no problems. I went up to 35's and for another 9000 miles had no problems as well. I just replaced the stock UCA's with ones from zone that I got from nick@gotexhaust I did this at 27,000 miles on stock arms and 2.8 in of lift. I did not need to replace them, I simply just wanted to as I upgrade things on my truck. I think I saw somewhere else you have a Warlock too. If thats the case the 5100's at 2.8 will sit you level. As you'll only see 2" of lift from them.

Yes it is a 2019 warlock, 4x4 build sheet said it was already “lifted” an inch. I ended up ordering a kit with Mevotech UCAs and the bilstein 5100s. But the Mevotechs don’t look much different than the stock UCAs. Hoping to slap it on soon. Hope I bought the right stuff! You’re saying that if I put the bilstein at 2.8 I should sit level? Or would I be better off putting at 2.1 to still have a slight rake forward? Since I’m sitting exactly 2 inch difference from front to rear?

Good! the mevotechs are the same as stocks, just much beefier and a better ball joint, so not a bad buy. Something like zone or icon UCA's will correct the angle. I'll show some pics as comparison later. I would 100% go 2.8. I have around 1" of rake even at 2.8, as do most with the warlocks. If you want even more rake you could take out the spare, as it's useless with larger tires anyway. Without my spare, bils at 2.8, and my hard trifold cover, I have 1.5" of rake.

thanks for the info. I’ll set them at 2.8 when I put them in. I plan to go up a tire size or two from the stock sra. I guess having the 1 inch factory lift is what is confusing me as far as the actual height I will get from the bilsteins. do your 35’s rub at all? What width are they? I plan to keep the stock 20’s for now

I’ve had both 35x12.5, and 315x70r17 which is a 34.5x12.4 and neither rubbed

bilsteins installed. Thanks for the advice. Now for new tires!

I did 2.5” in from & 1” in rear. Sits level and I’m happy with it.
