bilstein 5100 generic poll

[Thatdude596]

Curious to how many people have them installed at 2.8 with zero issues vs how many people have them Installed @ 2.1 with no issues on 2009 -2012 1500 4x4

I have a feeling just like when I was one of the first to have a leveling kit some of us had numerous issues while others had zero issues

Include setting, issues, other lift height

2.8 had em 5 months at this height. No issues

2.1 with 1" spacer in the rear. Have about 1k miles on this setup, maybe a month or so........no issues at all.

Contemplating 2.8!

I seem to have the worst case of vibration from the 2.8" setting. This was before the 35's and body lift. Only happens in 4 wheel mode.

Zero issues at 2.8in. It's been like that past 1500km doing washboard roads and city roads with lots of pot holes (canada). No vibration whatsoever on 4x4 either

Nice to see some mud on a truck for once lol

I had mine at 2.1 and had a spacer lift in the back. Way too much rake. But they worked really well. Recently replaced everything with an Icon stage 4 kit, now it's pretty level and rides like a dream. But if I was installing the billies again, I would have gone 2.8

To really be useful I think you'll need to change this poll - all 4th gen 4x4s is too broad, since they updated the front axles for 2013. From what I've seen, lots of the earlier design trucks have issues at 2.8. None of the 2013+ that I know of have any vibration issues. Which makes sense, given that the 2013 redesign was to accommodate the air suspension's different heights.

I edited my post If a mod could edit the poll that would be great. Thank you for the knowledge tripower
