How are you guys adding larger rear blocks? Bilstein says they can accommodate 1 inch additional rear lift?

I have the Bilstein 6112 Kit on mine. Rides very smooth but a little firmer then when I had just a 2 inch spacer. Sits almost perfectly level.

Finally got the Bilstein 6112 kit installed and the Raptor wheels. Looks lightyears better. These tires need to be replaced though as they're pretty worn down and I'm not sure how much clearance a new 315 is going to have. I'm thinking I might bump down to 295.

Looks much better, how much lift does it have?

Default Bilstein 5100s maxed

Had about 3 inches of rake before the level and about a 1/2 inch after. 18x9et+18 wheels, 295x70 tires. Zero rub with no other modification.

Thanks. I didn't think to measure it before and after. I did set them at the full 2" setting though.

Spent my Sunday in the garage installing my new HaloLifts kit. When it was all said and done I ended up with 3/4” of rake which is exactly what I was shooting for. I like a little rake. The details are

Front Coil-overs set to 2.5 inches
Rear shocks along with a tapered block 2-3/4” to 2-5/8”

Took it for a spirited test drive and it feels SOOOO much better. Hoping to get new rims and tires this week.

I’m not gonna lie, Its super nice working on it when it’s new!!! Cracking everything loose was a breeze. It’s only like that once so I’m gonna enjoy it. I left thinking I may still do upper control arms.

Wine country, Cali? If so you shouldn't have too hard of a time keeping it clean, I have to limit my winter driving. UCA's would be another nice addition, $$$ though for brand name, but you only live once.
