Hello all, I recently purchased a set of Bils and plan on setting them at 2.8. My two part question is.... 1st, what is the exact ( or as close as possible) measurement (inches) of the 2.8 adjustment. 2nd, I also plan on lifting the rear with spacers, but am unsure as to what height would provide me with a) complete level, b) slight/minimal rake. I have been lookng at TGC and Daystar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My truck is a 2012 Express CC and currently my front fender measuements from ground through center line of tire to bottom of fender is 36.25 inches and my rear measurement is 39.5 inches.

You're going to want to install the Bilsteins at 2.8" for sure. They'll give you between 2.6" and 2.8" of lift depending on the truck. If I were you I wouldn't worry about a rear coil spacer at all. Your truck already has 3.25" of rake from the factory which is on the high side. Not to mention that spacers clunk around and make noise when going over bumps or offroading as it's steel on steel contact.
