I haven't noticed any sluggishness or shifting issues in 4 years of driving. I don't haul a lot but when I have, it seems to pull fine.

I went from stock 18"s on my 07 NNBS Silverado to 34" tires and I didn't notice a reduction in power. I know what you are getting at, but I didn't notice any issues.

Here are a couple quick pics I took earlier today. I can see and feel a difference in the fronts height with the bilsteins on. As for ride with max setting, I think it is way better than stock. Having only done the fronts, whenever I go over a bump I can feel the difference between the way the front and rear handle it. I am sold on getting rear bilstein shocks now. Overall I am happy with it.

These were the shocks I had, not sure if this helps.

Looks great man! The 16s are definitely growing on me. And yea I say go for the rears. I have them both. It's a real good ride

Agreed. Ive been running an RC 2.5" level with the rear blocks on my high country for 8 months now. Love the level but didn't like the rear end hop when I hit bumps on the stock shocks. Put on a set of bilstein 5100s just rear for now and the ride is night and day. It's silky smooth and no hop when hitting bumps. Well worth it.
