Hello Guys,
I just order bilstein 5100 for my 2012 xlt supercrew ecoboost. I've read not to max them out. My question if i run the front at 1.75 what should i run the rears to get a little rake look? I like a little rake look.

 

U will have rake at the 1.75 setting. The rears do not raise the back, just allow u to raise the back up to 1". Mine r set at max 2.25" snd have absolutely now issues.

 

I just put some 5100's on the front a couple weeks ago on a 2012 KR Screw (sorry, haven't gotten around to taking pics yet) but I went with the 1.5" setting and it sits almost perfect (imo). When I measured it in my garage, the bottom of the front fender was 1/4" lower than the bottom of the rear fender from the ground up. If you want visible rake, I would have then gone with the .75" setting. I'll try to get some pics up sometime. Good luck.

 

I went with .75 and after settling it ended up being exactly 1" lift. I put my quad in the back and it's perfectly level.

 

I have mine at 2.25 setting and have 0 problems but if you like rake then go lower. Mine sits level to the eye but with a load it will be slightly nose high. I'm putting on air bags for the few times of the year I have a heavy load.

 

 

Just got mine done yesterday at the max setting and I don't notice anything different from stock ride. Actually, I might....it seems better. Love the look and real happy I did it.

 

if i add the bilsteins 5100 ontop of my 6 inch rc lift, i will get a 8.25 lift upfront?

 

Just ordered 5100s.....am stuck as to which setting I should go with. Really want to max it out but did not order any blocks for the rear and am also concerned about ride quality compressing the spring that much.

Help me decide on which setting. I have stock tires and rims (20") on 2013 SCREW long bed. Want to fit 33" min...prefer 34". I do NOT want to trim anything and the truck MUST be level. I never tow and if I haul, it is limited to hunting season.

 

I've wondered the same thing about my pro comp lift, but I can't get a definitive answer.
