new tires with bilsteins, which position?
I got my 295/70/18 Toyo MTs in today and bilstein leveling shocks tomorrow, just curious if anyone knows which level I should put them at so I can tell the shop. I want it just enough to fit and prefer to keep a slight rake for towing. I will do an add a leaf or something when I buy our camper but until then I still tow boats and things occasionally. Thanks.

I would go with either the .75" (2nd from bottom) or the 1.5" (third from bottom ). Either of those should retain some rake. I'd probably go with the 1.5" with that tire size.

dont take ANYONES opinion... do your own seat of the pants road test... they will break in and depending on what you are also running up front (winch, tire ply, bumper, lights, etc.) it will take some getting use to.... take it as is... then tighten it up. Personally, im on my 3rd visit to get my ICONS dialed in the way i like them. its a pain, but it takes time to get them the way YOU like em!

I think the GVW package makes a difference on how much lift you get when installing 5100s.
My GVW is 7500 and I got 1.5in lift on 2d setting. The directions suggest .75in of lift on this setting...

Thanks for the help guys, looks like I'll probably go with the 1.5 setting. Ill be happy to see it all when it's done. If I can figure out how too, I'll post pictures when it's done.

As I typed that, the tire shop just put them on, I wanted them on before the other shop did the shocks, they turn no rubbing without a level! Now I'm thinking just at the .75 mark. What do yall think?

Thats probably what I would go with. I plan on going with the .75" setting as well when I get mine.
