The misinformation is what bothers me. People come here for advice and then people like that come out of the woodwork and mislead them.

The belief yesterday was that a 2" lift by 5100 snap ring or 2" puck spacer would reduce their suspension travel to the effect of 2" deep potholes having a disastrous effect.

It's just NOT true. I had 2" of spacer up front to level my '14 and had no problems whatsoever with potholes or leaving pavement for dirt roads.

I found out that the Bilstein 5100 actually has a shade over 4" of stroke. Factory shocks are 3-1/8" or so. 


If the Billy's travel is 0.875" longer & the total suspension travel at the wheel is about double that of the shock (I think from previous posts), if you have the 5100 on the highest setting will you have slightly less available travel before topping out than standard?

Yes, I did notice that your still running your stock UCA’s. I am too. Your running stock height aren’t you cause I know 2.5’s leveling would require new UCA’s?
