  1. I am also interested in this. Did you have any luck finding pictures?
  2. Nice truck! Thanks. Just got my 275/65r18 (of course wish I went bigger but still looks nice). Gonna try to get the bilsteins installed this week and then see how it looks with the trailer attached. If it says too much I’ll get a “add-a-leaf spring” or a 2.25 block for the back.
  3. I got the 5100's for all four corners from fourwheelparts.com for $335 with free shipping. As far as installation I am not sure, I am doing it myself when they come. That is something I am sure you can find out by calling a local shop that does suspension and explaining what you want to do.
  4. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I just ordered tires (nitto Terra grapplers) just one size larger (275/65r18). Also ordered the bilsteins yesterday so hopefully by next weekend I’ll have those on along with the new tires and I will remove the air damn. I’ll have to had a new block in the back, I seen a 2” block from rough country, would that work? Or do you have any suggested brand to check out? How’s the ride quality with this set up?
  5. Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I was looking for. Do you have any pics you can send? I also feel the same way with the stock ranchos and front being so low. I plan on removing the air dam as well. what brand did you use for the rear 2.25" leaf block? Stupid question but what size is the stock block? 1.25"?
  6. Ok thanks for clearing that up. What what you recommend i set the front to in order to lift the truck but still leave a little rake when towing so the nose isnt sticking up too high?
  7. On the product description it said the rear can be raised up to 1". Is that not true?
  8. I have a 2014 Sierra 1500. I am due for new tires so I am going to go a size bigger and keep the stock rims (265/65r18 to 275/65/r18). Before I do this, I plan on changing out all of the shocks and installing the bilstein 5100's. I figured this was the best option for ride quality, while still being able to add a little extra height to the truck without putting too much stress on any other parts. My question is, has anyone set the front shocks to the height setting (is there any downside to this?) and then the rear to the highest setting (1"). If so, can does this still create enough rake to give the truck a leveled look when pulling a trailer? I dont like the nose high look. Looking for any recommendations on what i should set the shocks to in order to achieve more height on the truck, but be able to tow without the nose being higher than the back. Include pictures if you have them! I am also assuming i should get an alignment after installing the shocks and new tires right? Thanks, Ted
  9. I am interested in doing this as well, if I put the 5,100's on the front and back along with the 2" zone leveling kit, would i be able to adjust the back shocks so the truck still has a little rake and then it will level out when i am towing a boat?
  10. Love the truck! hope to get mine looking like that pretty soon. Did you install the Bushwacker fender flares yet? i would love to see some pics.
