I have a 2016 Lariat FX4 and I was thinking about putting on a set of the Bilstein 5100's. For the people that have installed them, how is the ride over stock and was it worth the money over conventional spacers for leveling?

Also I was looking to add the Halo 2.5" block in the rear to get rid of the reverse rake. Has anyone done this setup?

Billstiens on all four corners. Front's set at 2.1, 2.5\" rear block. I have about an inch of rake.

That looks great, got any side shots? Also, how do you like the ride?
