Bilstein 5100 with 275/60R20 KO2

[warpedhog]

I had all stock shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s. Set front on 3rd setting (roughly 1.4" lift). Finally replaced stock tires with BF KO2s 275/60R20. I checked these forums for a straight up pic of this set up on stock rims. Here it is

AND - how is the ride improvement? I have the same tires and need to replace shocks on my '14

Rides nice, no rolling around corners and the bouncing after RR tracks gone. Didn't use highest setting because of reviews saying very stiff and worried about alignment canter being to much to adjust out.( would eat the outside corners of front wheels) Feel like that 3rd setting is sweet spot for ride and height. No regrets.

Much better, in my experience.

I agree. I went with the lowest setting + 0.8" (about 1") since I already had a 3" level an 1.5" body lift with a 1" block in the rear and a 1.5" rear spring lift.
Speed bumps are a breeze, great dampening and no bounce afterward.

I just did the same on my truck and went with one down from the top as well. Didn't quite level the truck out, but I tow a travel trailer so I'm fine with it being raised a little in the rear.  Ride improved a TON.  Super happy, did the 5100s front and rear.
