2500 Bilstein Level Settings, and max tire size after.

[SBelt]

I just bought a '21 Lariat with the Off Road Package. I believe this means I have Bilstein 5100's on the front. With those have any of you 2500 Crew Cab owners leveled with these and did you go to position 4 or 5?

Once this is done, I plan to put on 20x9 wheels with +20mm offset. With those wheels, I'd like to run 325/60R20's. Does anyone know if these will fit ok without rubbing?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

You have a diesel 2500 right? 325/60's will rub on a +20 offset they are 13" wide

2500's do not have height adjustable Bilsteins that is only the 1500 trucks and the adjustable is aftermarket they do not come factory.

Thanks.
Looks like my first upgrade is a set of 5100's then.
Once installed, my original questions still stand. Anyone have feedback on those?

@SBelt 5100’s are not height adjustable on 2500 trucks and a 325/60 tire will rub with a +20 offset

Thanks! I was afraid of that. What do you guys think the widest I can go would be, maybe 315 or 305 (if they make these)?

If you want a simple leveling kit on, it is a spacer that sits on top of the springs. Otherwise you could get new springs that are taller.

As far as those wheels and tires, I think you would be fine. Damn close to clearing anyway. Thats a tall 35 and wide 12.5...pretty straight forward normal tire for a leveled 3/4 truck.

The older trucks used to clear bigger tires. The new body style is not doing so hot. They hit the sway bar or radius arms. Going off memory the factory offset is +54ish op is going to move out to a +20 which will give him the room to go to a 12.5 wide. I'd have to recommend a metric 37x12.5 with a leveling kit. a 325/60 depending on the brand measures very close to the 37's as most of the metric sizes run smaller. It would be too close to call and I haven't done aftermarket wheels on a 21' yet at my shop
