My truck has 35/12.50/18 tires. I want add 35/12.50/20 but would like to level the truck.
How much lift at front using 5100 adjustable shock.

Bilstein 5100s set to +2.1" will level a 1500.

Still on oem suspension? Being a warlock i think it comes with roughly an inch of added lift from the factory, so i think to level those or the off road package you need to go to the 2.8 setting.

Having a 23' Warlock myself - yes, the stock OEM suspension does sit a bit higher than a standard non-Warlock 1500.

However, as soon as the stock suspension is removed it's a fresh clean slate.

I have done the 5100's in the front and rear of my truck and had the fronts set to the 2.1" raised setting.

To level off the truck (Warlock or not), and say you're using the Bilstein 5100 adjustable fronts (reusing the stock OEM springs), or the 6112 (comes with springs), you can adjust to the 2.1" raised setting and you'll achieve a darn near perfectly level front end, with just the slightest rake forward, but hardly even noticeable. And you'll maintain the use of your stock UCA's as well.

However, if you go to the 2.8" raised setting you'll then need to also replace the stock UCA's with upgraded aftermarket adjustable UCA's to ensure you maintain proper front shaft geometry in a 4X4 truck.

Failing to replace the stock UCA's with aftermarket adjustable ones at the 2.8" setting will net you nothing but grief and more expense down the road.

I also recommend to anyone doing a front end level using an adjustable strut system to also replace the rear shocks with the same brand/matching shock as well. This ensures that one is getting the right rebound and dampening front and rear from the same suspension brand.

Handling and control are important, and different brands have different rebound and dampening characteristics that could affect how the vehicle handles overall.

Yea, its a fresh clean slate…but only up front.

I just figured if the back was also an inch higher from the factory, and you keep it at that height, then you would have to use the upper setting on the new front shocks to get it level.

I agree, having the front 3/4-1” lower than the back is about the perfect stance.

My 24 warlock, 5100s in the back, 6112s in the front at 2.0. Almost level.

The 6112s are 2.0 not 2.1 like the 5100s.

Cannot explain why, other than 6112s are built differently, however it still has a slight rake
