    Just curious if any of you happened to know if I can fit bilstein 5100 adjustables and a 2.5" coil spacer on my factory UCA's. Thanks in advance!

    If you are running the 5100 adjustable, you can just set it to 2.5 no need for spacers.

    Correct but why not use the spacers? Ive got 3" shackles in the rear and hope to do AAL's or all new leaf packs and I want my truck to sit level

    You want to do the 2.5" of the bilstiens plus your spacers? You will run into major issues with CV angles and ball joint angles.

    I recently put on 5100s (at 0") with eibachs and even with an off road bumper and winch I think I got about 3.5" up front, and I did a diff drop and my CV angles already look pretty bad, and the ball joints were pretty difficult to reassemble
