Bilstein 5100 rear lift?

[Texasez]

Has anyone ordered the 5100s and done the 2.75 in the front and done the 1" in the back. Any thoughts on pros cons on having it lifted an inch in the back compared to keeping it more level?

Not sure if you know or not but you can't use bilstien adjustable shocks in the rear to lift the truck as its a different style suspension then the front

There are plenty of people who have used .75"-1.5" spacers in the rear along with bilstien adjustable in the front and hopefully they'll start putting up pictures

It all depends how level you want your truck, it certainly won't look bad

Thanks. Why do they have the option for 0-1 lift on them?

The reason is......it allows for 1" additional of travel.
You will still need to at a 1" rear coil spacer to it to get height and this does not change the geometry of the shock.
But it doesnt lift or adjust like the fronts.

But I do know of a few members who have done this and it has worked out great for them

Makes sense.

Exactly, the shock is designed to be used for trucks with 0-1" of lift
There is a different/longer shock for trucks with 2"-4" of lift and so on
