The Bilsteins barely raised my front up 1.5", it's actually just a tad under that. If I put a 1.5" spacer in that would mean I'm lifting the front just under 3" total. Can that be done without changing other items?

Are you sure you're on the highest setting? That seems awful low for maxed Bilsteins.

Yep, just crawled under the truck and verified it. I can see and feel two empty slots in the shock and see the spring sitting up above those at the 3rd slot. Before I had the Bilsteins on the middle setting and my fender was sitting at 37.75" off the ground, now it's at 38.5". Could it be that having the back lifted with the Add-A-Leaf it's forcing the front lower?


I think my best bet is to go with a 1.5" spacer and see how it turns out. That is a low cost solution and then if that doesn't work to my liking I can look at the coil over solution. With a 1.5" spacer at most I should be sitting at 40" and 3" of front lift. If the back settles a little from 41" then it should be close to level with a slight rake which I don't mind. Right now it's just too much rake and doesn't look good at all.


Anybody have a recommendation for a good 1.5" spacer? I see there are a lot of options out there varying from under $100 to as much as $250.

I think I'm going to get this spacer since right now Auto Anything has a 20% off sale. I can get them for under $200. Anybody have ReadyLIFT spacers and if so how do you like them?

Dear lord those are expensive. Get yourself some auto spring spacers and save some money

Thanks Lewis, just ordered them from Stage3 Motorsports! I didn't realize the Auto Spring were steel and you can get them powder coated. They are priced a lot better and have excellent reviews. Hopefully I can get them by the weekend and get them installed!

Well, I just pulled a 2.5 HBS spacer off my truck .... Would cause you to lower your setting on the strut and realign the front end?

We also have a 1" body lift coming out very soon!

That makes it sound like you aren't maxed out on the bilsteins. Should have 4 slots. Stock, .75", 1.5", and 2.25". If you're on the third slot I think your at the 1.5" setting which would make sense since you are only gaining about that much lift.

That is what I said earlier...I guess you didn't get that if you put in a slightly smaller rear block...you might gain some front height and still have a gain in rear height.
