I have a 2.5” Daystar level kit id like to transfer over to the new struts. What is everyone using that’s not using Bilstein 5100s?

I didn't know Eibach made those. So the same thing as 5100's and I see no reason to do anything different than that. Adding preload to the spring gets you lift but doesn't put the travel outside of design specs so there's less risk of destroying parts way fast.

Personally I have a 3/8" spacer between the frame and shock plus I'm running Bilstein 4600's at the +3/4" setting. Nice clean OEM+ look that suits my taste.

Sell the spacers, get a pair of Eibach lifting struts.

set the rig for 2.25", or get yourself a real set of aftermarket UCA's and set the ring for 3"
this is your best bet and definitely nicer. Or if you’re dead set look up kyb or Monroe I think are the 2 stock replacements that are popular.

I have bilstein 5100 and eibach springs on my truck with a 1/4” thick puck spacer over my strut which nets me 3” lift. Eibach makes a full setup but I already had the bilstein so just kept them.
