Just picked up a 2017, thinking about leveling it with Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks, and then putting some 275/65/r20 BFG KO2's on it. My questions are, how high do the 5100's need to be set, 2"? Will those tires fit with that adjustment?

I am running the same size tire, but Duratracs. I ran them at stock height with no rubbing, then 5100s at 1.25" no rubbing. Added 1.25" wheel spacers and slightly rub front crash bars at full lock.

5100s:


With spacers for reference:

Hey man, I actually pulled the trigger on this exact install three weeks ago now. For the 5100s you have to set it to the highest setting I believe, you may want to go back to the Billstein website and check or search the forums. But I am fairly sure it's the last little slot you adjust them to.

As for clearance you'll be alright. That's going to look great on that platinum by the way.

You dont need to be at the highest setting to clear 275/65r20s, you can run them with no level at all if you choose......

IMO, 1.75" would be perfect, kind of wish I set my 5100s to that setting.

I am running LT275/60R20 with 1.75" 5100 Bilstein Level. You will have plenty of room for the LT275/65R20.

If I'm not mistaken, the Platinum stock tire is 275/65/r20, so you're right that no level is needed.

OP, that pic sure looks like a 5.5 foot bed.

GMC to Ford... do you have any photos? I have a 157" WB and I'm considering this exact setup.

Pretty sure its 275/55r20 like all the other trims with 20" wheels.

I asked the collective wisdom this same basic question - the 1.75 ring is the right place to be. I have spacers and 275/65/20 BFG's, and am doing the exact same thing -- replacing the spacers with a set of 5100's.

What about a lowly 2wd? Would there be any rubbing with the same set up?
