No, because the springs are not progressive. They're the same rate throughout there travel. Mine ride great, but I'm not at Baja either, lol

Have a question on leveling my 2017 slt I don't the the measurements but as most 1500's the back sits up a lot higher than front. On my gmc I had a RC 2' leveling kit but it rode like a log wagon and I don't want thay again. My tire size is 275/60/20 all factory when these wear or I'm going to a at probably Falken I would like to go up another size without rubbing if possible so could bils be my answer? Appreciate any info
Appreciate the info JB I just want something to get rid of the grandpa look and also look good,AT tire in probably a 295 that doesn't rub and a smooth ride.
I have a 14 Ram 2500 and if I read this right to level it all I need are the Bilstein's? Is anything else needed?
Nope, it’s exactly what I did shortly after bringing the truck home from the dealer.I have a '14 5.7 crew cab that has factory 20" wheels. Is there any reason I couldn't go to a 17" wheel if I go to a -12ish offset? Trying to make a decision on what route to go with wheels and tires with my 2.8" bils level and 3/4" spacer in the rear.

Thought so. Thanks. What tire and size did you end up going with? I'm thinking 35x12.5R17 in the nitto ridge grapplers might be too wide.Nope, it’s exactly what I did shortly after bringing the truck home from the dealer.
Falken AT3W 315/70/17, check my build thread, i have lots of pictures and info in there.Thought so. Thanks. What tire and size did you end up going with? I'm thinking 35x12.5R17 in the nitto ridge grapplers might be too wide.

I have read all 368 posts. I have a 2015 5.7 quad cab and I am running Rebel factory wheels. I will be upgrading to the Bilstein 5100's to level. Will probably be adding a 1" spacer on rear and setting fronts at 2.8. I would like to go to a 35x12.5x17 BFG tire. 2 questions
1. What is the offset of the factory Rebel wheels? Will my set up work with out spacers?
2. Has anyone used the pro comp shocks with height adjustment over the Bilsteins?
Have you searched through the lifted section? There's tons of combinations out there.I currently have 3 inch coil spacer leveling kit on my 2013 1500 and the rear end is stock. I have not had any problems out of them in the 16 months I have ran them. I have been doing a lot of reading on upgrading to the Bilstein 5100's. I am interested in putting them on all 4 corners of my truck because i enjoy the lifted look but not wanting to go 6 inches. I am not sure what other have done when running these shocks but is there any information that would be helpful for the look i am going for?
Would anyone recommend a body lift for additional height
Well for reference. This is bils at 2.8" with a 3/4" spacer in the rear on 35x12.5. I love the setup. Use it mostly for towing my motorcycle to the race track.SO.....MANY.....OPTIONS!!!!! Normally I'm a motorcycle gear head and keep my trucks stock, so I really don't know much about doing this right. I love my '16 1500 Hemi, but I do want to level it while also raising the back an inch or so. (not looking for a 6" lift!!) I installed some fender flares and running boards already. I plan to change out the stock wheels with some 0 offsets so I figured the extra height would help a bit.
Could any of you guys smart on the subject give me some guidance? After reading through some of this thread, I'm thinking the Bilsteins on the front and short spacers in the back?
