My last lift question

[JCARTER7]

My truck is going in this coming moday for 6 inch lift with 5 rear zone kit. Also threw in the heavy duty zone control arms. Also for an added bounus they are going to install clear recon cab lights.

Now for my question. I have been told and read over and over again with the zone 6 inch lift and 5 rear. BILS at 2.1 will have the truck level. I have BILS set at currently 2.1. But the shop I'm getting my truck done at just did a 13 dodge 1500 set BILS to .8 and it sits level with the lift? Now come moday I dont know what do set them at! Thanks

This is the picture of that truck.

Don't look like the 5" rear coils to me. I did you exact lift and went with 1.4 setting and I have a slight nose down rake. Has the truck in the picture settled yet? At 1.4 mine was even for about a week then settled down some.

Just found out the kit installed on the red truck was a bds kit. Would this make a diff. Could he have still gotten 5 in the rear. And those are 37 tires many that's why the rear looks lower

The truck in that picture looks rear high to me. I bet if you measured it it isn't truly level, hence why the numbers aren't adding up.

A BDS is still different than a Zone kit. The strut spacers on each kit aren't the same size so you aren't going to set the Bilsteins the same for each kit. Bilsteins at 2.1" is correct for a Zone 6" kit with 5" rear coils to be level. Setting them at 0.7" would essentially be like not having them at all since you don't install the Zone 5/8"preload spacer with Bilsteins.

Ok so I should stick with 2.1. And what am I leavinv out again from the kit in the front end?!
