Bilsteins 5100 OR Rough Country 2.5" Leveling Lift Kit


Recommended Posts

I am trying to decide between the Bilstein 5100 for the front (max height setting, 2.75"?) and rear (1") and just getting rid of the junk Rancho's. Its $360 on Amazon.

 

Front - Bilstein 24238304 Shock Absorber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T367RUS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7P91ybEK4MRDR

 

Rear - Bilstein 33-238319 Shock Absorber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T369HRY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zQ91yb8RC4E1M

 

OR

 

$150 for the 2.5" Rough Country Leveling Lift Kit but keeping the Rancho's.

Looking to fit 33x12.50R20 with either 0 or -12 offset wheel.

 

Thoughts? Truck only has over 1500 miles.

I'm installing the Bilsteins this week if they get here soon. Decided on this route after having several other styles of leveling kits. If they don't lift enough ( 1.85") then I will go back to the stock height setting on the Bilsteins and add a level kit.

Front and rear? Going to max out the front settings? Let me know how they turn out after driving on them for awhile and settling :)

Bilsteins maxed. Rides 1000x better than rancho. Completely changed how my truck rides, corners etc. Not 100% level which I'm good with don't want a squat with light loads. Just about 1/4 inch lower in front

I'm only doing the front for now. I tow and haul quite a bit of weight time to time so I'll wait to see what it looks like "leveled" and hooked up to a trailer and load with tools. I may want to swap out the factory blocks with a taller version. I got my front Bilsteins for $199 shipped.

Looks just right to me. Are those stock size tires or one size over?
