Who's running Bilstein's @ 2.8"?

[Danimal77]

I'm getting the adjustable Bilstein's installed in the morning. I really want to have them installed at maximum lift (2.8"). I know a lot of people say to be safe and run them at 2.1 because of cv angle and vibration in 4x4. I do zero off roading and stay on pavement 99.9% of the time. Anybody have any last minute advice , for or against setting them at 2.8". Thanks!

I've had mine maxed for almost 20k miles, not one issue

With lift or factory height?

Sure thing! Ran them them maxed with 35s before the lift. Left them maxed with the lift and cvs are still holding up ok.

What tires where you able to run 35s with no rubbing? Did you have to use any spacers?

Thanks in advance...

I ran 35x12.5-17 cooper st on 17x8.5 wheels 4.5" backspacing, think that's -6 offset

I have had mine in for 3k miles they run smooth and have them set one down from highest setting it's as close to level as possible, hoping to get the rear set soon

Not to kill the thread but are you doing anything to the back or just the front set at 2.8?

Here's how mine sat with maxed bilsteins and 35s

Got them installed this morning @ 2.8". I freaking love it!!!!! Looks amazing and ride still feels great. Front fenders went from 36"-36.25" to 39". It's amazing what a difference a leveling kit makes. Next weekend hopefully the Zone 1.5 body lift, Top Gunz 1" rear spacer and rear Bilstein's will go on. Then I have all winter to pick out wheels and tires. Thanks for the help fella's.
