Default 2016 4x4 XL: Question about Bilstein 5100s

Anyone out there have 5100s on their trucks? I like the look a simple spacer leveling kit gives my model of truck, but I have read that the better option long term would be to go ahead and put in 5100s which supposedly will give you the same affect but better on your suspension/cvs off-roading.

My main question is how much lift does the Bilstein 5100 realistically give? As I said, I want my truck to be leveled which is a 2.5" lift in the front. With suspension lifts they don't always give the full advertised lift and I wanted to check into this before ordering parts.

I want to run 20" fuel rims with 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers so that is part of the goal in doing a leveling kit along with the look.

Truck: 2016 XL scab, 4x4, V8, 3.55 diff

Thanks for the input!

So is there a similar option along the same lines from other brands like fox?

Thanks for the info. New to the lift/leveling kit world
