Guys.

Is anyone out there running 5100's on a 2010 4x4 with them set at 1.5". I have been searching and can only find them set at 2.25. I would like to do 1.5" and replace the rear block with a 2". I want to level and I have 80k miles on my lariat so I figured I may as well do bilsteins and get shocks at the same time. If you guys have this set up or close please share. Thanks

5100' set one down from the top 1.5" and the rear blocks are oe.

What size tires are you planning on running? I had a 1.5 autospring then switched to billsteins set at .75. I could get you some pics of that if you want. My truck is also a 2010 4x4.

Running the fronts at 1.5 on my 2010 SCrew. Hardly perceptible front end rake left, it looks dead level. Stock block in the back.

Tire size is 285 65R18 GY silent armors on 18x9 Fuel Octanes, +20 offset so they stick out an inch further than the stock 20 inch rims and Pirellis.

No rubbing before I replaced the shocks, just looks better. I'll try for pics tomorrow.

Great thread. I'm looking at the exact set up as the OP for my FX4. I'm concerned because I plan to run 275/65/20 Duratracs on stock wheels and I want to make sure the 1.5" setting is high enough to avoid rubbing.

Also have a 2010 fx4 looking for the 5100 to level so I can fit a bigger tire but with an 18" wheel. Thanks for the great thread. Keep the updates coming.

Glad their is other guys looking for this also. I want yo keep stock 18" wheels and run 275/70/18 tires. My truck has maybe an 1" of rake but would like to bring it level if not a touch higher with 2" blocks keeping about a 1" rake.

Post a pic at .75 if possible

Not quite what you asked for but might be helpful. This is my 2011 Platinum I use to tow a lot, so when I installed the Bilsteins I set them @.75" lift because I wanted slightly larger tire but have no intentions of changing rear blocks etc... This was quite a dilemma because I wanted to set @1.5 Inches but clearing my garage door was a factor and I did not want to be nose high when towing my boat or travel trailer and loose steering or have tire wear problems.

The rims are Lonestar Six Shooter 20x9 18 offset with Toyo ATII size 275x60x20. No rubbing, great ride, minimal MPG lost.

BlastMaster. Are the fender flares you have ford products or are they after markets? Thanks Gene
