no bilistien 5100s on a 6in zone lift

[beasTEX]

Anybody running the zone 6in lift with the 5in rear spring without bilistien 5100s in the front? If you are could you post a picture?

I am running bils set at 2.1 without id be sitting at least 3 1/2 inches ass high. As it sits now I have an inch of rake.

Holy crap. What if I ran the procomp pro runner in front I believe the max setting is 2.75 would I be pushing it? I'd rather sit nose high than ass high. I could definitely get those tomorrow before 9am when my lift goes on. No one has bils in stock. And I could just sit ass high till I could get my hands on some I just don't want to void the lift warranty if I did it myself.

I could bump my bils up to 2.8 which would set me almost perfectly level. I decided not to max out the bils when I put my lift on because I didn't want to end out nose high due to the rear springs settling. Talking to zone their tech told me the springs are made to not sag so id see little to no sag.

I wouldn't base your measurements off homebrew as he's running a big, heavy grille guard on the front end which is why he still has that rake with the Bilsteins set at 2.1".
If you want the truck sitting level Bilsteins at 2.1" is that you need. Anything more than that will have the truck sitting nose high. Without the Bilsteins altogether your truck will have around 1.5" - 2" of rake depending on how it sits stock.

agreed, my grill guard drops the front a little even without a winch mounted to it. id start with 2.1 and see how it looks. keep in mind you do not use the preload spacers with the bils.
