No problem and thank you! They are 1.25" blocks actually.

Did you get the 4wd version of the Bilstein 5100s in order to go up to the 1.25" block? I read the 2wd version only allows 1" blocks max. Thanks once again!

2018 2WD with a 2" level currently on 275/55/20's. Plan on going to at least 275/60/20's whenever I need new tires. Will go to 5100's eventually as well. currently it's about a 1/2" rake. I may add a 1" block but will see what it is like once I add the 5100's first. Personally I do not notice any negative ride change from stock rake to level.

Yes, I have Bilsteins meant for RWD even though I have the 1.25" OEM rear 4x4 block.

I'm not sure how or why my numbers are different from the above posters. I haven't put 33"s on yet but its in the works.

I have a 2019 XL STX 2WD 2.7L

I did the motofab 2" up front and KSP 2" blocks in the back. First I did just the front level, which left my truck 1/2" higher in the front. After it settled it was just about even, but still about 1/8" high in the front. So I added the 2" rear blocks because I still wanted some rake. Ended up with about 1.25" rake, back higher than front.

I bit the Bilstein bait; did 5100s on the front and rear last weekend, with fronts set at 1.75". Banged it out in 4 hours and I'm pleased with the look. I agree with others elsewhere, when I say that I think 2.1" would have been too much. I recently went and got 3 scoops of mulch dumped in the back after the suspension job; I couldn't tell that it was nosing up. If it was, it was very minor. I'm also pleased with the ride, so until I get to the point where the truck needs new tires, I'm calling it done.

Looks great. Do you have any other photos from different angles of your truck leveled? I have a 2wd and am curious as to how 2wd compares to 4wd when leveled 2inches in the front.

I don't my camera took a dump the day after I leveled it. Need to seed it in since its google phone. I have one more but the lighting and angle isn;t much help. I will say that these pics were taken with almost no fuel in the truck, when i filled it up it lowered almost 1/4"-1/2". Looks even better.

I went with the Teraflex Falcon Sport Tow/Haul kit. Hadn't seen much on reviews of them at the time of purchasing but currently love them. Ride is great, look is great, adjustable compression on the rear shocks really makes the truck feel planted when towing. Overall I'm extremely happy with the purchase. They were a little on the expensive side at 1500$ but a bargain compared to a full coilovers kit. Pictures for a representation (sorry the truck needs a wash)
