Rear Bilsteins

[2016 Longhorn]

So if you go with Bilsteins set at 2.8 on the front and Bilsteins on the rear do you still need a spacer to level out or do they lift you an inch in the rear?

The Bils for the rear are not lifting shocks. Install spacer to lift the rear if you want.

 

[PassivAggressor]

They don't give you any more lift on the rear.

Thanks

If they do not raise your truck at all, what are the advantages of using bills in the rear compared to stock? Do they have a better ride/performance when combined with a rear spacer?

It's been said they improve the ride. If they are anything like the front, I believe it.

That being said, I did the front to level and will leave the rear until they are worn out. Then I'll put Bils on the rear as well.

Do you have any pictures of your setup with bills at 2.8 in the front and stock shocks in the rear?
I am thinking about going this route, thanks.

Not a great angle, but it's all I got. Mine with bils at 2.8, rear all stock.



I put on TGC 1" rear spacers shortly after as it was a pinch nose high stock. However, after a few weeks the front settled and now I have a little rake, but I'm good with it.

looks great!
and those look to be your stock wheel/ tire setup?

That's correct, factory wheels/tires (for now [emoji6] ) Here's a pic from the side after the rear spacer install to give you an idea. As I said, now that the bils have settled a bit, it'd probably be dead level without the rear spacers, but Im good with it.

Sorry, my truck is at 2.1 without a rear spacer on stock wheels and tires.

Even at 2.1 it seemed a little nose high, but it settled after about a month to level.

Before


After:


Some gratuitous pics Next to My 5.9L and a buddies stock Chevy



Front Bils set at 2.1 (no Cv vibrations in 4x4) rear springs are Superlift progressive rate springs supposedly to be 2" over stock and Tires are Nitto 275/65/20 (34") on stock rims no rub anywhere under any condition
The My Red Dodge 2500 5.9L you see in the pic is running 295/75/16 (33". something)
over all the Ram is bigger than the Dodge at the Hood, roof, tire. The door sills and wheel well heights a slightly higher on the Dodge
Though I would have sworn otherwise if they were not side by side
I need to get rear Bils for a 2-3 inch rear lift or another manufacture if anyone has a good recommendation equal to or better than bils
I have only been able to find for 0-1 for 2013
does anyone know the part number for the correct set
The stock shocks are stretched to the end
next mods are a Vararam intake other suggestions appreceiated

Very Nice! I kinda like that 5.9 myself. Sheet metal on the new trucks looks like it's all puffed up with air. It is. Older trucks just punched a smaller hole in the air.

I run a Headache rack 'cause rear glass ain't cheap.

Other recommendations from me always include this bar. It's the "Rancher Grille Guard" by GO Industries in Texas. I had the gloss blk powdercoat on my '09 1500 and I have the textured flat black tuff armour on my '17 2500. It's held on with four (4) bolts and you don't lose your tow hooks.
Here's a few pics.

PS: I hit 2 deer with the Red 1500 and so far I've got 4 with Big White. No repairs made. YOU find the damage, LOL. These things are Deer Slayers!

PSS: WTF is that on the front of that Chevy? A screen door? Lol.
