Default Adding Bilsteins in the Front

I already have a 2" level up front, but I'm still not satisfied with the front end rake that I have. I want to add these Bilsteins in and set them to a high to decrease it.

Does anyone know if adding these shocks in there would affect the original leveling kit in any way? Thanks!

I hope you aren't planning on stacking lifts...

You can not have a leveling kit installed with the Bilstein's set at anything but stock height. Either get rid of the leveling kit and set the Bilsteins at the top setting or get a bigger spacer. I would not recommend anything over 2.5" though as it puts to much stress on the front suspension components. I personally wouldn't run anything higher than 2".

I have the 5100s on my 2wd and as stated do not stack them if your not going to leave the bilstiens on their lowest setting I would take off the 2" replace it with the bilstiens at max height if your looking for an extra .5" but i also would do all 4 corners at once it really tightens the truck up in my opinion
