There are several threads with information on the Bilstein 5100 with pictures buried inside. Was hoping people could post just the before and after pictures and measurements of their trucks in this thread for quick reference. A side shot would be great!

I've got my Bilsteins in the garage waiting to be installed, but can't decide between the 1.75 and 2.10 setting.

Thanks!

Pre-installation (LF, RF, LR, RR): 36 5/8", 36 9/16", 39 11/16", 39 3/8". Rake: ~3"
Post Installation (LF, RF, LR, RR): 38 1/4", 38 1/4", 39 3/4", 39 9/16". Rake: ~1.5"
I used the 1 3/4" (1.76") setting and gained ~ 1 5/8" ( with 6.5" box).

Had my front 5100s installed today at the 1.76" setting. I have had the rears on for about a month now.

Before - 37-1/8"
After - 38-1/2"
"Lift" - 1-3/8"
Rear - 39-3/4"
About 1-1/4" rake after level vs 2-5/8" pre-level

Crummy picture (mother nature decided to hit us with one last blast of snow!). I'll post better pictures later.

I really wish I'd have gone with the black Sport like that. I love the looks of that truck!

How is the ride?

Chucko2929

Ride is pretty close to factory - maybe a little stiffer. Much less nose dive. Truck is way more planted than with the factory shocks.

What size tires do you have?

I am running 275-60-20 BFG ATKO2, with those tires i am 37 1/4 front and 40 1/4 rear. Completely stock other than tires. I planned to only go the .70 setting because I tow fairly often, but now that I measured I may go higher.

In for more pics. Having mine installed shortly

Just stock size 275/65R18 BFG KO2. Now that I have the level, I wish I had gone with larger tires...
