No idea, but I am patiently waiting. 

I’ll level with the 1.5 and then change over to the 5100s when they’re released since it could be a while.

I'm guessing 5100's are adjustable coilovers?

Yes, just not available yet for the 2019 Silverado. https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/product/bilstein-b8-5100-ride-height-adjustable/

Glad I waited and did the Readylift 1.75” level with UCAs.

Did u happen to get a p/n off the bad UCAs?  There is some speculation in other posts that they might be the same as the standard non-TB UCA.

  Hey everyone. So I had the 1.5 inch leveling blocks installed underneath the struts on my TrailBoss. After 3 weeks and 1200 miles the ball joint boots were torn. My ride was the same and unaffected, but still. The angle of the ball joints were not good post-level. 

 This caused me to purchase new UCAs. I went with ready lift and got their plus 2 kit. Overall I’m happy now because the UCAs fix the ball joint angle. Now the ball joint sits straight, and allows for more lift. With the plus 2 kit I’m getting a total of 4inches in front, and 3 in the rear which gives me a half inch rake still. Not bad, half inch isn’t bad at all. See the attached pics and just be cautious when adding leveling blocks to the trailboss. 

Were you offroading or anything like that? I have the 1.5” motofab level on mine and I just looked and my ball joints look brand new after 10,000 miles and my angles dont look nearly as bad as your pictures. How many miles did you have on the blocks before it occurred?

Did you do the install or a shop? Are you sure the boot was torn from wear... or did someone use a pickle fork to separate and severed the boot? Rarely would this boot just tear. The angle isn’t that bad.

That’s odd. I figure people may have different results, but I wasn’t off-roading. I had approx 1200 miles on the blocks.

The ball joint was separated using the bfh method, no fork. And who knows, maybe it could be a freak accident for all I know. If the ball joint is at an angle though people should be made aware so that they check the boot. I’m trying to thing of what could have done it but I drive pretty normal. At least I’d like to believe that I do.

I went with the 1.75 with the UCA's.  I didn't do the rear blocks.  $700 installed and aligned by my local shop.  Happy so far!

Hey, I'm curious what offset your Fuel rims were on this truck?
