The Leveling Kit Thread
Anyone know what RC leveling kit would have been used for this wheel/tire combo to fit? 2", 2.25", or 2.5"?

Leveled my truck (almost level anyway) with Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners. Fronts are set at 1.75" as I wanted some rake and didn't want to have to lift the rear anyway. I had a feeling I'd be nose high if I turned them all the way up to 2.1" Gotta wait a little bit for tires. Gonna go with a larger tire (265/70/18 SL or 275/70/18 SL) down the road. Extremely happy with the 5100's though. IMO, they are a great improvement over the stock shocks and ride better too.
leveled truck question----- anyone know whats biggest tire you can run on a 20x10 with negative offset without touching,spreading,cutting,trimming crashbars? plastic is fine but i dont want to mess with metal.
planning on using a 2.5" AS or 5100s
285/55r20?
285/60r20?

But you must pay to have them installed and mechanic willing to compress the springs and do the swap to the bilsteins.
Or you do the work yourself in which case you are back to $300 and change.
Fronts were $101 each on Amazon, Rears were $76 each on Amazon. Install was $200 with alignment. I realize the cost is much more than a spacer kit but I feel like the longevity of the install (and how Bilstein engineered the lift strut) and the improved ride + a much better shock performance wise was worth the investment on the long term. I absolutely love the was the truck drives and handles now.
I just had the Bilsteins 5100 put on my 2016 F-150 less than a month ago. I paid $370 for all four corners on stage3motorsports. I had first put on a 2” RC leveling kit the week before and hated the ride quality. I did do the install myself so I cannot comment on how much the install would be, but I can say the Bilstein shocks are way better. Just my opinion the install is not that hard as long as you have the proper tools.
