I just put a set of Bilstein 5100's and love the ride and level so far, knocked out two birds with one stone.

I have 275/60 20 which I believe are 33's with no rubbing before the level and def no rubbing now. I got a little over 2 inches actual lift with the 5100's. I now have 8" from tire to fender, and 8.5 at the rear. Sits perfect IMO

Thanks!

I figured if I was going to go through the trouble of pulling out the shock/spring to put a spacer in then I was going to replace the OEM shocks, I'm at 76k miles so it was time. I paid a little under 300 for the front set. OEM shocks and spacers were about the same or close.

I would think the 3" would give you the nose in the air look, unless you plan on going with a 3" rear block or AAL.
