Has anyone ran a dealer installed leveling kit with the Bilsteins set at 2.1 or 2.8? My level isnt really level. Does the kit mean that the adjustments on the shocks wont be the same amount of lift? In other words, if the leveling kit is a 1" will the shocks only give an actual 1.8" of aditional lift? Or will they still get the 2.8" of lift? And I understand that the shocks may not actually give exactly what they are supposed to according to the 2.1 or 2.8. Just really want to know where to set the shocks at before they are installed. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to take the spacers out to run the Bilstien
The adjustables have an adjustable spring perch that lifts the truck the same way as the spacers do and you limited to about 2.5" of lift with this method
