Rear spacers with bilsteins 5100's?

[Cfpdscott]

Anyone add rear spacers to the back. Just recently added bilsteins up front set a 2.8" and the truck is just about exactly level. Just curious if anyone adds spacers to the back as well and how the truck ends up looking with them

I got Bilsteins set at 2.8", and I put a 1.5" ReadyLift coil spacer in rear. I wanted to keep a bit of rake. You wouldn't wanna put anything bigger than a 1.5" max.

You have any pics by chance?

Here is my 2010 with the front set at 2.8 and 1" rear daystar spacers. Still stock tires there.

Bilsteins at 2.8 and the 1.75" Rough Country Spacer in the rear. I have a little over an inch of rake. Would prefer to step down to 1 to 1.25 inch rear spacer.

What is the purpose of a rear spacer if you are trying to level? Also does anyone sell bilsteins with springs and mounts already on them?

The reason that I leveled was to get the front fender up off the front tire. It looks silly sitting so low. I put the spacer in the rear to give it a little rake because it squats so badly under even the lightest load and I didn't want to blind people when hauling a load or pulling the boat.

everyone driving the opposite direction is thanking you without even knowing it.


does anyone re-aim their headlights after a level or lift? i used to have access to a hoppy headlight alignment kit. it was super easy to use.

I have bilsteins at 2.8 and 1 inch rear spacers

I ended up installing the bils at 2.8 and the truck was pretty much level with the front end sitting just a tad higher than the back which kind of bugged me so I bought some 1" billet spacers off fleabay for under 30 bucks. Got them installed yesterday and turned out great I'll try and get some pics when I get a chance. Now I just need the wife to give me the go ahead on some 35's
