Leveling 2020 1500 Classic Warlock

[ricardosanchez]

Looking to level my 2020 Warlock. I am thinking about going the Bilstein 5100 Series for the front. The question I have is if I set the 5100 at the top height, do I need to replace Upper Control Arms? I don’t do much off-roading if at all any, but would like to not have any issues if the situation rises for it.

When I leveled my truck I did upgrade uca’s, wanted to keep geometry angles adjustable for alignment, but there is lots of members here who run stock ones with no problems.
Make sure to measure the rake/ stance you currently have as our trucks sit at different heights, the highest setting might level my truck while you could end up nose high.
Also keep in mind the hood is higher than the bed so a true level will look nose high, mine is about 1” - 1 1/2” lower in the front but looks level.
I had the Bilsteen’s while having my struts/shocks rebuilt, no complaints.
Check with the forum vendors before you buy anything & good luck!

Yeah I’m trying to make my wheel wells look even, planning on putting 20x12 rims with -44 offset and dont want any rub at full turn. Yours looks identical to mine with rake stance but I’m 2” difference from the front and back. Just need to raise the front 2 inches and I should be good. Didn’t want to use the puck style kit. Just want to make sure the 5100s and the uca for 3 inch lift will be ideal

My understanding of levelling a 1500 is that 5100s set to +2.1 without upgrading UCAs are sufficient.

100% correct.

Using the 5100's with the stock springs and setting the fronts to the 2.1" raised setting will be pretty much level with only a very slight rake forward. Almost unnoticeable.

You also won't need to install aftermarket UCA's either.
I run LT295/65R20's (equivalent to 35's) for my summer set up on my stock 20x9 Warlock rims with this set up and zero rubbing.

If you go to the 2.8" raised setting then you'll need new aftermarket UCA's, and you'll have a slight rake in the front end.

Also, I recommend that if you're using the 5100's for the fronts (or any brand for that matter) that you also get the matching rear shocks, too.

The dampening and rebound should be equal front and rear for a solid set up with control and feedback.

Thanks for the quick confirmation.

Thanks for all the information, I’ll be getting the 5100s, uca, and rear shocks. Anybody recommend a set of uca for basically a 3” lift?
