Hello All, It's been quite awhile (Since April) since I put these on and I wanted to give a quick update. Everything is good, it rides great no complaints. However, I am looking to get into a bigger lift. These are great and the ride is great but its just not high enough. I'm going to go with a 4" lift once I figure out what I need. Anyone else find this leveling kit to not be enough?

Added picture of the wheel/tire setup. I love how they look. They have a textured finish that is almost impossible to get dirty. Just rinse them off and they are good to go. I wanted something other than the normal fuel wheel setup most people have.

Gentlemen, Sorry for the late reply as I've had these installed for well over 2 weeks. I've attached some pictures. The truck was completely leveled with the Bilstein 5100s at the highest setting. Front and rear it was spot on. Some notes: As others have said, take your old strut assembly somewhere to get them swapped. We had a hell of a time. We tried a floor mounted spring compressor to no avail, and the rentable threaded rod tool also. I ended up giving up and taking them to a local shop. Much easier, cost around 45 dollars. The rear installation took about 15 minutes on a lift. Super easy as expected. The ride has improved so much from the stock Ranchos. Those things are garbage. With the wider stance the truck feels much more stable as well. This setup rubbed at about 3/4 to full turn, and reverse was almost un-useable. I went and bought the Rough Country Fender Trim pieces and broke out the angle grinder. This was much easier than I thought it would be, and now i have ZERO rub. Full lock turn, full lock reverse. Can't even tell I did it. I saw people doing the NorCal mod but for 17 dollars, the trim plates seemed like the way to go. This setup is great. Rides great, looks great. I might go with a 4" Fabtech sometime next year. I'm not quite sure. I'm so happy with the ride quality i'm not sure I need to do anything different. I would only consider it to lift the truck up a bit more. The next day I took my truck to get aligned as it was off pretty bad. I highly suggest getting this checked after doing the install. 2018 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 Midnight Edition Tires: Nitto Ridge Grappler 305/55r/20 Wheels: Black Rhino Barstow Matte Black 20x9.5 -18 offset.

Sorry. Didn't get them on last weekend. Doing the install this morning! I will post pics as soon as I can!

Gentlemen, I will be installing the 5100's tomorrow at the highest setting. I have 20x9.5 wheels -18 offset on 305/55/20's. I can't imagine it doesn't rub like hell. Wish me luck.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions with valuable information. I picked up the Bilsteins off amazon for 365 shipped if anyone is in the market. For those that have changed the strut settings after installation, how difficult is it to adjust? I know its just a snap ring but I can't imagine its super easy to adjust.

Well my plan is to get 20x10 -19 wheels with 33x12.50 Ridge Grapplers and the Bilstein kit. Where is everyone buying their bilsteins?

Gentlemen, I've read about 4 pages and realized there is just way too much on here to read it all. I'm a little confused, I have a 2018 1500 Z71 midnight edition. I'd like to fit 33's, so I was going to level my truck using one of the kits online. From what I gather, its possible to do this using the Bilstein adjustable 5100's? Where is everyone buying these? Cliffs anyone? Sorry for the laziness but 112 pages man, holy hell.
