I run bilsteins and 1.25" bl and rear spacer..do the bilsteins and rear spacer (can get spacers at topguncustomz site) and adjust bilsteins so you still have some rake...Then do body lift

Hey, Chad! Exactly as Jake mentioned above.
Many are running this exact same setup....as am I as we discussed.
The rake will depend on
1) what you set the Bilsteins too
2) Depending what you set the Bilsteins to, what Coil Spacer you will use

I have a 0.5" rake with my Bilsteins set to 2.1 and running a 1" coil spacer.
Now, i am expecting my Bilstein to settle anywhere between an 1/4" to 1/2" more...So I will land anywhere between 3/4 -1" rake, which is what I want.

But you need to measure you fenders now....so you will know what to set your Bilsteins at and if you want to run a coil spacer for added height.

You may also want to use or get airlift 1000 kit.
I will be ordering this in the coming week or so.....

For your exact same reason.....squatting!

Airlift has confirmed that the kit will still work with a lifted truck and for $90-$100, you cant go wrong!

I think 1.5" is the highest/ what most members go with, with the lift kit you/we got

Take measurements so you know your current rake and go from there....

I'm assuming you have a 1500 which has rear coils and not leafs..So you use coil spacers and not blocks..but check out topguncustomz.com ..rear spacers go from .75" up to 2.5"..just make sure you have enough shock for the increased height.

I think those shocks are 12" travel that come with the kit..not sure..so around 29" extended im guessing...You will be ok bc I've seen alot of others use the 1.5" in the rear with the kit shocks...You can always upgrade to 14" travels later...could also just check to see how much extension you have in your shocks now then you'll know how much travel ull have after the spacers.

Chad, exactly what Jake said.
It is all dependent on your shock length (collapse and travel)
