Finally a decision

[jknappen]

After going back and forth on level lift or both and seeing a couple of lifts in person, I think for practicality purposes i am going to just level with bilsteins set at 2.1. Now what is the purpose of rear spacers. Do i need them? I want to run something like a 285 or 295 series tire. I do not want to run a spacer and i do not want to have any rubbing issues.

I am running 35s on Bils set @ 2.1, no spacers. I too was going to lift, and may still. But pretty happy with level and 35s.

Running a spacer in the rear just gives you lift in rear, but you'll need to run something up front of course.

If you want to start out w/ a level and 35s, best way to go would be with bilsteins; you can use those with your lift as well to level out any rake which is left (no need for spacers in the rear neither).

I have seen a lot of people here using spacers in the rear and level in the front and still look level. I just want a level look. Do the brand of the 35s. Matter in the rubbing category?

depends on how wide of a tire you run

I' am kinda in same spot as you....level or go with 4in Zone lift, but issue is a money factor. I would absolutely do the 4in lift BUT Its not in my budget now for new rims/tires and the 4in Zone lift.

So I am getting a set of Bils 5100 and Zone UCA's now. Then either running 295 or possibly 35's on my factory sport 20's next spring, but If overtime is good to me this winter and I can do the lift as well in spring I'll have the Bils and UCA ready to go.
Oh If my budget wasn't a factor I would be running a 4" Zone lift/UCA's with bils at 2.1 with 35's on -24 offset rims..... so essentially it would about 6inchs of lift.

As others stated really no need for rear spacers for lift just Bils up front will be fine. And depending on rim and tire choice up front you may have to possibly run a wheel spacers.

It's not the brand you'll need to worry about, but rather the actual width of the tire.

Not sure if i want an actual 35. Would rather go with a 285 or 295.... I know i can run a 275/65/20 and be ok. What width can i run on a 285 or 295

 

[DRkNESS]

Is it 275/65 or 275/60 on your 2013 ? Mine are 275/60 on my 2011.
