I'm thinking of leveling my truck, im still running factory sized tires (albeit grabber ATX'S) and im reading that a 2.1 setting on the bilsteins should get me what im looking for with out having to put rear spacers in. Can anyone post a pic of what that might look like? I appreciate it.

There is some noticeable rake in it at 2.1, but unnoticeable rake at 2.8, I had both. I like the ride better at 2.8, but 2.1 is safer for suspension parts, yes that little difference makes a lot of difference in travel. Blew a cv boot at 2.8, but I don't really know what happened. When I get around to it I'll probably go back to 2.8. I do believe you might want new UCA's at either height with your year. I went down from 20's to 17's, just wanted more tire.
