@SportyJ,
2nd pattern , I like the fronts due to the black lug nuts & maybe a black center cap ?

Still like the front R/S pattern #1 the best . Typically I dislike 20 " wheels as I prefer 17/18s

Looks great and a fantastic setup as I have the same , but 1.5" TGC Spacers.

I was going to sent the 1" back and get the 1.5" but never got around to it. I'll change them as some point

Why switch the 1 for 1.5?

Likely because he wants a bit more factory rake back ....

Hell who knows , he's a Georgia Bulldog fan LOL ! Ha ha !

Well, I finally have all my parts needed to level the truck!

Bilstein 5100 - Setting a 2.1 to reduce the rake to 1"
Motorsport Tech 10mm hub centric spacers
Zone Offroad UCAs

Scheduled to roll it in the shop next Friday, to get these installed with an alignment!

Keeping stock rims and current tires are BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 with 10k miles on them, so it may be a while for the large sneaks get put on!

So ive had mny 5100s installed for about 3k miles now. I developed a squeak in the front drivers area. Anyone else have or had this

Hmm , what setting on the 5100s?

Have you checked the uca ball joint for protruding upwards ?

Did you torque the nut the top of the shock or just make it "good-n-tight"? This is somethin common with newly installed Bils. The top nut if not torqued to spec with come loose and cause a "squeaking" noise. You will need a pass through socket and and Allen key to retorque it

Ill look at this today or tomorrow. I saw a spread sheet of torque specs for a 2012 on the forum. Should be the same, yes?

Also did you install the washer that came with the bils on the piston Shaft below the threaded area prior to installing the rest of the components and the top nut ?
The washer does not go on just prior to the nut and in direct contact with the nut .
The washer goes on under the oem hat because the bils piston outside diameter is slightly smaller than the oem piston .

This usually caused a light clunk or squweek if the washer was installed in the wrong location.
Lots of folks and professional shops have done this before. .

If the above is true you have to remove & disassemble the bils in reverse then reassemble. ...inspect the lower inside of the hat for damage prior to reinstallation.

Hope this helps !

-_- seems silly. Guess ill just take it apart and redo everything.
Just to make sure here.... slip on washer. Then install strut into pillowmount.
