Bilsteins and leveling kit

[Lees10ram]

Couldn't find much on this. I have zone upper control arms and the 2 inch diff drop brackets, with the 2.5 level. I have 2.5 rear coil spacers and fox shocks in the rear. I want to add the bilstein 5100 to bring it back up to level height. Anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance!

Anybody? Saw on the sticky not to because of CV angles and ball joints, but I shouldn't have those issues

Your knuckles have been replaced?

No. I have the zone leveling kit that has the 2 inch diff drop brackets and control arms. Factory knuckles

Unless you do a lower control arm drop bracket and longer steering knuckles then no, I wouldn't recommend doing it. Your control arm angles will be far too steep and you likely won't even be able to get the front end aligned because of the angles. If you want to go higher you'll need a full lift kit.

My contol arms aren't to radical right now, but I wasn't sure what the situation would be with the knuckles and lower a arm

If Brandonjansen advises against it I'd listen, he knows his **** about suspension lol

I'm not arguing lol. I worked at a Dodge dealership for almost 10 years and saw a lot of ball joints seperate. That's why I bought the kit with aftermarket arms. And then got the fever to go higher of course

Lol yea I wasn't saying you were. And that seems to be many peoples issue, go up a lil bit and then wanna go a lil more lol I myself fell victim to that disease with both my trucks

I'm gonna do the zone 6 inch kit when I get the money together. I like all the stuff I've used from them so far
