    Tomorrow i am ordering bilsteins shock for all 4 corners. As soon as the eibachs are back in place i plan on ordering some of those and have the bilsteins set at 0. I want my truck sitting completely level but my leaf packs are worn so much im not sure how much lift i need to do that. I plan on ordering new leaf packs but not sure which i need and if its more than 2.5 inches of lift then im going to need different shocks for the rear....I was thinking of these

    Do you by any chance know what the height was in the rear when you had these installed? And also do you haul or have a bumper in the rear? and last question how much lift do you have up front with these now?

    i think thats the best choice. except the allpros are cheaper.... but they have a 3" instead of 2 1/4" so you wont sit level

    your asking what my rear ride height was after installing them?
    I can measure from center of wheel to fender if you like, I have 245s so ride height to the ground might be lower (compared to factory 265s)
    I have what you can call custom rear (not factory) it is slightly heavier.
    When installed I would say I had about 1.5 front lift set at max setting, now my springs are tired and I'm sitting way to low upfront, I have extra weight to take into account atleast 250 extra pounds plus my 200 lol (I got another bumper, aftermarket skids, and sliders) <<they wore down my front springs. Lmk if this helps or how I can.

    If you could share your front/rear current numbers of axle to wheel height it could help us (particulary the rear one as we know about how the front will sits).

    After your coil/shock install front, expect 23.75-24"" axle to flare distance. Depending on how much you need to gain for the rear you could have some other interesting solutions.

    By the way, which bilstein model/lenght did you ordered?
