Thanks! Currently running 275/60-20 wheels (which work out to 33" but more narrow). I want a little more "meat" to the tire but I don't want wide tires, really. Those look just right. Not sure if they make A/T's in that sizing, though.

Yes they make the BF Goodrich K02 and the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 33x12.50r20. I was going to run either one of those but a coworker had just bought those tires for a truck he traded in so I bought them for $400 and couldn't pass that up even though I didn't want to run a M/T

I finally put the 5100s on my 2WD truck. The 1.75 setting yielded 2.25 lift and now I want to move the circlip down one groove to get just a little rake. Anyone tried this without removing shocks?

I don't know the answer to your question, but it's bizarre to me how many different results occur from the 5100's on different trucks. I set mine at 2.1" and maybe barely got that 2" out of it. I still have a slight rake.

@Jayson Wisdom awesome looking setup. I just ordered a 2.5 spacer for the front of my platinum, did you do anything to the rear block? I am also going to go 295/60/20 but with KO2z

@Jayson Wisdom Awesome setup! Did you just do the front spacer or also change the rear block? I ask because you mention a 2.5” kit. Thanks!!

Default 2019 withe 5100's +1.75" front lift

2019 F150 STX w/ Bilstein 5100's (1.75" lift front/stock height rear)
Goodyear wrangler ultraterrain at mounted on 20" Venomrex VR-602 wheels VR-602 20" wheels. Current wheel/tire setup is about 3lbs lighter per wheel than factory setup was.
Still has a slight rake, but pretty close to level...
Handles pretty much the same as before install...but definately absorbed things like potholes/speedbumps better
