Default leveling kit questions.

I have a 2.5 leveling kit on my 11 EB and I recently purchased Bilstein 5100 shocks all the way around. Now the front shocks are leveling shocks with 4 settings Stock, .75, 1.5, and 2.5. Now can I leave in my leveling spacer and go with the lowest setting on the shock or do away with the spacer? Will it hurt anything leaving the spacer in and setting the shock to .75? Any help will be appreciated.

2.5" is already putting your cv angles to the extreme. If you did combine them, it would have to be on the stock height setting.

You should ditch the level spacer and set the Bil's to the height you want. You'll get a better ride by using the shocks to give you the lift.
