Anyone have the 24-187367 Bilsteins on a regular cab 4x4 ? I want to go with the 1.4 or 2.1 setting, are you seeing more lift on a regular cab than what the instructions show ? I only want to go about 2 in. of lift in the front I have a 2016 4x4 1500 short box. Thanks

I've got mine set to 2.8" and the lift is right at 2 5/8" after everything settled in the front. I run 285/75r18's with no rubbing on a +1 offset wheel.

5100's use your factory springs so you get pretty much what Bilstein advertises. Springs are not universal OE springs are vehicle specific. I will say 1.4 rode better than the 2.1 I am at now At the 2.1 setting I have roughly 3/4" rake which is about what I wanted .

I went with the Rough Country Bolt On 3" kit but instead of using the front spacers from the kit I installed the Bilstein 5100's and love the look! I'm running Rebel wheels with 285x70R17 Toyo Open Country AT

Yes, I have my Bilstein's set at 2.8. Ride is smoother than original. If you're worried about lost MPG, mine hasn't changed any from OEM.
