  3. IMO, I don't think lowering your B's back down and adding spacers will make much difference since there not designed for that. how long have you had them on the truck? may need to break them in a bit. When I leveled my truck the first time with the Ranchos they were stiff as a board, the B15's were much better at top setting than spacer.
  4. I have a 2015 Z71 with the 1500's at top setting and is about 1.75" lift, I test fitted 285 65 18 (32.6 x 11.2) which is just about the same as a 295 55 20 (32.8 x 11.6) and the fit just right. IMO, anything bigger (305 55 20, 33.2 x 12) will look like you are trying to stuff the tire in and looks funny without at least a 2.5 or 3". I will say that the B1500's are night and day compared the Z71 Ranchos that I replaced.
  5. I have a knock off Magnaflo without resonator, sounds clean. could be a bit louder IMO. but im happy with it. Be prepared, you may hear the v4 kick in, I can def hear it with the Res gone. Deleted the afm and happy now.
  6. Local shop here is CA quoted me $50 / strut. Big O tires will do it, if you have that shop around.
  7. No, just the fronts. Thought it would give you some idea of what it would look l like. My wranglers have 23K and about 10K left. cant wait to upgrade tires.
  8. This is a 2" front w/ factory tires. I don't think another .5" would look that bad. when time for tires just go up to a 33
  9. I did, but I'm glad I went with the airlift, feels a bit more stable when towing. I also am not a huge fan of the rake.
  10. Hey bud, we've chatted before. How high do you think the 6112's will raise the front. I have the 1500's now and not as level as I had planed. Great ride but I think I will swap with the 6112's when they come out
  11. Not at all, you can squeeze then when that low. Do you have the same exact kit? Are you installing a compressor? If not, take the bolts out of your rear license plate and run your valves through the holes then nut back on the plate. looks clean and easy to get to.
  12. Yep front and rear, I also installed Airlift "Ride Control" #59565. Only because with the truck now leveled, it dropped lower in the rear. I only have to put 60psi in and she sits nice and level when I tow. Ok, so I guess that's the only issue.
  13. I tow a 6k# travel trailer, no problems with the Bilstein s at all!
  14. Does anyone know if the 6112's will give the truck more lift over the 5100's? And will upper CA's be recommend??
  15. I guess that makes sense, I just like the Z71 decals. Probably too late to remove them now. Do you think it would be darker paint under the decals after 2 years in the sun?
  16. Takes bumps a lot better, there's a road I drive on every day that's bad. Before I would have to slow down a bit because it would make the rear end hop to the side. Now it glides over and no bucking at all. Takes turns better. I would say much better ride over the Ranchos I had before.
  17. Hey guys, I have B1500's at top setting now. I was thinking about putting back down to factory setting, then installing RC 3.5". Will this work?? I decided that the 1.75" isn't enough and don't want to get rid of my Bilsteins
  18. I also have a 2" level, Tire shop test fitted a 285 65 18 ( 32.6 X 11.2 ) and it looked good. They recommended not going bigger than that. Look at the blacked out Z71 above, that's what he's running!
  19. Your truck looks good, What level kit did you go with?
  20. 2015 Z71 5.3 DIABLEW 91 TUNE AIR AID JR W/DROP IN FILTER MAGNAFLO CAT BACK BILSTEIN 5100 ALL AROUND FRONTS AT TOP SETTING PAINT MATCH FRONT BOWTIE (AMERICAN BRO DESIGNS), DELETED EVERYTHING ELSE
  21. I'll look into that, paint match bumper look sick!
  22. That's good photo shopping, what program is that?
  23. I fabbed my own 2" spacers and with the Ranchos it wasnt bad, little stiffer I guess. I upgraded to the 5100's, the ride is better but it's not huge. Also, it's not a 2" at top setting so if you want your truck level these won't do it. My truck sits 3/4 higher in the rear. And it is not recommend to add spacers with the 5100's to compensate. IMO, leave it alone, your gonna pay$$$ for a little bit better ride and you will have to replace them anyways in the future and pay$$$ again. hope this helps.
  24. I installed my 1500's 16000 miles ago, highest setting. No complaints! Thanks MRT!
  25. Ever think about ditching the mud flaps? Cleaned it up a bit.
