Lifted plan thoughts

[Texasez]

I have an outdoorsman and ordered the bilstein 5100s for all four corners. I measured and I'm at 36.75 in the front and 39 at the rear. This is measured to the fender flares. I thought most had about 3" of rake so Im not sure why mines less. I was going to set the front at the 2.75 and then add an inch at the back since the rear 5100s can be set at an inch. Does that sound ok. I know a lot are doing 1.75 in the rear but I didn't know about doing that with the bilsteins. I didn't know if that would be over extending them or causing extra strain on other components. I like a little rake but I want it to work with the 5100s and don't want to change stuff so much I start causing extra strain on stuff. I saw TGC has the steel coil spacers for the rear. Does anyone know if Moes carries them. I only saw lift kits on their site.

The rear shocks aren't adjustable like the front are
You will need a coil spacer to raise the rear
There are several people going from .75" to 1.5" in the rear with TGC spacers

Since they are for lifts from 0-1 does that just mean that's how much play they have. If I do a 1.75 coil spacer will I need a shock extension.

Like mentioned, only the front shocks are adjustable. The rears are designed for trucks with 0-1" of lift, but they are not adjustable for 0-1" of lift.

Just my opinion, but I would run your front's at 2.1" and leave the rear alone. This will make it sit almost perfectly level without throwing your CV angles too far off.

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I wanted to get as much out of it I could without messing with the cv angles too much.
