The Leveling Kit Thread
I have a 1.5" spacer sitting in the garage but want to wait for the bilstein to get back in stock.
Although for my driving habits I really don't need the bilstein and I like factory ride.

Aside from the cost factor which wasn't necessarily a deal breaker, that was why I went with spacers (RC 2"). I'd read commentary that the ride was stiffer with Bilsteins. After the spacer install I can tell no difference at all in ride quality. The factory ride to me seems like the perfect Baby Bear spot between too squishy and too firm. YMMV
I thought I liked the factory ride as well, that was right up to the point I put some new struts on the truck then I realized how awful the OEM stuff was (& I don't do any off-roading).
I just finished mine up yesterday......I went with Bilstein 5100s all the way around and Eibach 2.7 inch lift springs in the front and ready lift 3 inch rear Blocks..
The Truck rides better than stock...

I also did the Bils front shocks and the eibach Springs. Can you post a side on side shot for me so I can see what kind of take to have with that size block? And what kind of before/after measurements did you end up with with the spring? You’re the only other person I’ve seen do that spring. I can’t wait to get mine on, just waiting for the Bils to show up!!
