This is my first so I want to start with introducing myself as Robert and I am the owner of a 2012 SCrew 4x4 EcoBoost Platinum. I have only had it a week and so far I really like it even though the mileage isnt as good as I hoped but its still good. This is the first 1/2 ton and gas pickup that I have owned in 10 years so I have some learning to do. So far I have added a bedmat, and Weathertech liners. I have a Retrax bed cover in that I need to get and put on.

So for my post. I am wanting to level my truck and put some BFG KO on it. I have been reading and searching and it looks like everyone is going with the Adjustable Bilsteins for the best ride. My truck measures out to be 1 1/2" low in the front. My problem is that I haven't been able to find where to get the Bilsteins for my truck. Can someone point me in the right direction? Or any advice on better riding leveling kits? Thanks

Looks like you have the identical truck as mine, right down to the color & the 355's. I put in a set of Bilsteins raised to 2nd highest setting in the front with an extra leaf in the rear.

 

Do you have any pics? How's the ride?

 

I put the Bilsteins on at the second to highest setting. Love the handling much better. Curves are more firm with less body roll without being too firm on bumps. I may go back and put them at the highest setting.

 

I am interested in using the Bilstein 5100's as well. Does everyone usually install the front and rear shocks or just the front? I measured my truck and the front sits exactly 2" lower than the rear. I was thinking of getting the front 5100's and set them at 2" and get the rear's and set them at 1"....I still want a slight rake just in case I have to pull something. I want to be able to install 295's on the truck, but 285's might be the best thing to do.

 

The rear shocks are not adjustable. You will have to do something else to raise it. Add a Leaf or blocks etc.....

 

Sure do. I uploaded the pics from Photobucket to this site and I see that they are gone today. PM me your email address & I'll send direct to you.

 

I found some adjustable 5100's from AJUSA. Is this not accurate??

The rears are not adjustable. Just the fronts
