Leveling my 2019 5th gen

[dc73pdsgt]

So I went to my local 4x4 shop yesterday to get a price on getting the truck leveled. Was asked if I wanted to go for spacers or Bilsteins to do the job. They recommended the Bilsteins but I’m not sure. Price quoted was about $600 installed. Looking for feedback here. Also if I do this what size tires does it allow me to upgrade to? I’m running 285/65/20 right now.

Def do the bilsteins. And you can easily run 35’s.

You are running a 285/65/20? That is basically a 35” tire.

Just checked actually I’m running 275/55/20 not 285/65/20

Ok 1so if I do the bilstein leveling what size can I upgrade to? I know I can ask my 4x4 place who is gonna do the work but was looking for non biased info here. Obviously they are gonna want to sell me tires if I ask...

How much height do the bilstein's give you?

I have only had independent front suspension vehicles. Spacers = terrible ride quality. Is that true for solid fronts? I love the ride quality of my 2019, will spacers ruin that?

well, do you have a half ton or a 3/4 ton. Half tons have independent, hd’s have solid.

I thought Bilstein's weren't out for 2019+ 1500's????

 

[Bradley Newdom]

They are available on their site. 264.00 for the two fronts.

so I decided to do the Bilsteins in the front... I know they are adjustable up to 2.6". question now is what height should I have them set at? Im thinking either the 2.2 or the 2.6.... but I don't want the rear to look low when done.....

then go with the 2.2 or 1.7.

IMO, the 2.8 setting needs a rear spacer or it looks like its sagging ass. Even the 2.2 would be pushing it in my eyes.

kewl thanks

ok so my Bilsteins are due in today... now what height do I set them to? Im leaning toward the 2.2 inch level height....

I would measure the front and rear height and then decide how much rake you want. I personally think about 1" of rake looks the best.

No, that's why asking the question.

No as in what... you do or dont have a half ton?

I installed a 1.5” coil spacer on my 2500 and it drives just like stock.

Ok so had the Bilsteins installed yesterday... 2.2 inch level and the truck looks great. The ride is so much smoother now too... thanks all for the help, photos coming soon....
