I just ordered Bilsteins and am a little hesistant to run them at 2.8 with stories of vibrations in 4x4 and everything, but I'd really like to. Just wondering, if I ran the Bilsteins up front at 2.1 with a 1.5" Readylift coil spacer on the back would it look alright? If I were to run the Bilsteins at 2.8 would that change anything up front having the 1.5 coil spacer in rear?

Not 100% sure with the 1.5" spacer BUT fwiw, I have my Bils @ 2.1 and just added a 1" spacer in the rear and I think the truck looks great. With just the Bils my truck looked a touch nose high but that may be perception as the tape measure said otherwise.

And I'd say try the Bils at 2.8 if that's what you really want! With mine @2.1, the ball joints look great (seems to me that 2.8 would not be an issue at all) and the same goes for the cv's. To be honest, the cv'c have just enough angle to not look dead level (if that makes sense).

My advice is to set them at 2.8", especially if you'll be running the RL 1.5" spacer. I went with 2.8 and the 1" Daystar in the rear and I wish I went with a bolted in 1.5" spacer in the rear. It looks great unloaded but with any significant load in the back I wish it sat a little higher.

I also debated 2.1 vs 2.8 before lifting my new 2015, but in the end I couldn't find anyone that had vibration with the newer front suspension design (2013+), so I went for it at 2.8" and couldn't be happier. Visually, the difference between 2.1 and 2.8 is pretty significant.
