Bilstein 5100 level questions

[bringwolski]

Does anyone have any pics of there trucks with a bilstein level? Also about how high can the bilsteins raise the front? Im trying to figure out if I can lift the front 2 inches with the shocks and then add a 2" block in the rear if thats a possibility, and then add a 1.5inch zone lift. Does anyone have any input as to if I could do this? I searched through the forums but did not see any info on this, or would i be better off just getting a zone level? Thanks for any input gents.

Also can I run 285/65r18s without a regear? I have 3.42s in it now but I do not want to run the risk of stressing the transmission and causing issues down the road bc of a bigger tire. Any input?

No, just no, if you want 4in. of lift get a real lift kit.

You will hate the ride with the bilsteins on max height plus a leveling kit. Others have done it and the truck will be riding on the bump stops. Rides like shit and will eat up ball joints.
