Hey guys, I got my Bilstein 5100's on at 2.1". I also put in raptor stainless steel 6" magnum nerf bars. Here are some pics. What do you guys think? Should I put 1 or 1.5" rear coil spacer on or leave it like it is? Any input is appreciated. Thank you

Looks good, seems to sit pretty level as it is (of course that could be my neck almost snapping trying to get a good look) so I wouldn't bother with spacers. I don't believe that recommend stacking them anyway. Are you staying with your current tire size or going up?

Any way for someone to turn the photos around, as whenever I turn my IPad to see it flips around the other way. :(

Hey guys I'm having a problem since my truck has been leveled yesterday. I feel something in the steering wheel when I am driving. Is this normal? I don't know whether to explain it like a vibration or not? Also when I am turning right I am noticing a clicking feeling and I can hear it as well. Advice please? I leveled at 2.1" no rear coil spacer and did alignment following the level

Your truck looks real good! I'm interested to hear from some of the other guys if the vibration and clicking is a common thing. I'm considering putting the bilsteins on my truck as well.

Did you get an alignment? Mine are @ 2.1" and I threw a 1" spacer n the rear, looked nose high from some angles even though the tape measure says otherwise.

Yes there was an alignment done. I sat there and watched them do it. I really need someone in the know to tell me why I am feeling clicking and vibration in the steering wheel

Did you install the bills yourself ?

Was there any clicking / steering wheel vib prior to the front end alignment?

I also have a 2014 4x4 I installed mine and set them to 2.8" , I can assure you clicking while turning and steering wheel vibes are not normal ..
I can tell you every truck is a bit different in the way they respond to suspension mods .

Probably from your stabilizer links, a lot of people tighten the links or torque them while the vehicle is jacked up or no load on them, best to snug them and put the truck on the ground and let it settle (push up and down on it and load the shocks and springs) then turn your wheel and torque the links to spec, if it's not the links it's probably your tie rods if it makes the noise more during turning

I agree on the stabilizer / anti sway bar , lots of people seem to overtighten them , whether you did the install or not , I'd put a wrench on everything that was disconnected.
