What are your Bilstein 5100's set at ?
 

Wondering what you guys have them set at vs how much lift you actually got? Do you wish you had gone with a different setting? Any pics would be awesome!
I would love to go with the 2nd from the top setting but I won't be getting new tires or rims for a long time. So I don't want it to look like I'm driving around on pizza cutters. Thats why I'm thinking about the 2nd setting from the bottom instead. Thanks!

It will be closer to "level" at the 2cnd from the top setting. I think it should look good at either setting. Little bit closer to stock ride at the 2cnd from the bottom setting.

Love mine. Highest setting, no problems. Great ride. However, it only sees pavement. :)

2nd setting from the top.....almost level.....about 1/2" rake.....perfectly level with dirt bike in the bed.

I set mine on third setting and it left me with a 1/4in rake.

Thanks for the replies. At this point the 2nd from the top setting seems to be what I'm looking for. Thinking with 1.5" wheel spacers, I should get the look I want on my "family budget". :thumbup:

Ok, time to show my ignorance. I have never researched a wheel spacer. Do they just stick the tires out from the wheel well slightly or is there an alternate function? Is there any drawbacks to having a wheel spacer?

Highest setting, looks great but can sometimes look nose high,especially because i removed the lower plastic. that's why i purchased a fat bob's AAL but haven't installed it yet. no problems with any kind of rubbing or anything or noises and ride is great but i would not do any wheeling with them at that setting, not again for me atleast.

At highest setting but I wish I would have gotten 2.5 spacer. It just seems it's not high enough... Idk sometimes it looks level and others it's a little bit of rake

Wheel spacers push the rim out the same as an offset on an aftermarkert rim would. Just have to buy quality and make sure to torque them.

2nd from the top for me too.

I set mine (4x4) at 2nd setting from bottom. It gave me a 1" front lift. Looks/rides much better than stock and still provides a 1" rake difference from rear to allow for some weight in the bed.
IMO this is the way to go if you're running 33's, for 34's+ you'll probably want to go higher.

mine still isn't really completely level @ the top 2.25"

First time around I went 1 down from the top.

It still had rake, so had it switched to the very top setting.

I rode in a customer's truck, exactly like mine but with a 5.0 and a spacer kit.

I wish I had a 5.0 and a spacer kit. His truck rides better, and gets better mileage.
