Mounting Wheels soon, not sure about lift

I bought the Bilstein 5100's for all 4 corners.

I did the max lift for the front end on the truck. I think it's a 2" lift.

When I mount my 285/70/17 BFG's do you think the truck will be level or be too high in front or are the tires too big for the lift the shocks give me?

Thanks, I'm half retarded.

 

2.5" is the max on 5100's. If you have a stock rear then it will be high in the front but not much

 

The 285's should be fine with 2.5" but you'll have to cut some plastic and most likely do a cab mount chop. Also if you have stock wheels you'll have to run spacers

 

I put 5100 rears on too. Will that balance me out?

 

Shocks wont lift the rear, leaf springs will

 

dammit! I'm putting aftermarket 17's on...

to balance the truck with adjustable from 5100's and standard 5100 in rear.
what kind of leaf springs should I use?

OR should I buy the 17's and get a smaller tire, like a BFG 265/XX/17?

I see your from SD. Ill send you a pm. Talk to Doug. His screen name is 4wd. He does custom rear springs. You dont need to lift the back to run 285's but you will need the front lift at 2.5". If you want it level you will have to lift the back as well

 

thanks bud

 

No problem
