Are my 5100's set at the highest?

I was about to purchase larger tires but it looks like I have no room. Are my bilstein's set at the highest?

 

Yup

 

Unchained is correct. Now's a chance for new coils!

 

Do you have spacers?

 

Isn't it rough enough yet? Lol

 

Seriously. Get some new coils and drop the 5100 setting down so you'll have both the lift and a better ride!

 

^Agree 100%. Don't buy a spacer. They are completely junk in my opinion. Save the money and buy some new coils for the lift.

 

The shop told me I couldn't use spacers in combination with my billy's set at highest. I was looking into the toytec coil over kit for 5100's but I was told I need to get a UCA if I want to go that high.

 

Yeah the shop is correct. It is not recommended to use a spacer over 1/4 inch with the Billy's set at anything but stock ride height.

 

Yeah get some Eibach's set it at .85 and put a 1/4 lean spacer on the driver's side. Good to go as far as lift, then get new UCA's if you have alignment issues. But I always get new UCA's whenever I lift

 

The ride feels great but I drive 98% paved roads. Don't really go off-road. When I was running BFG AT's the ride was a little rough but when I switched to BFG RT's, the ride feels great.

 

Do you have a link to where I can purchase some Elbach springs? Also, what happens if I set it a little higher?

Guys I was talking about wheel spacers. That would be an issue if he does and wants bigger tires.

 

Thanks. I'm currently running spidertraxx.

 

If you could remove those you could clear a larger tire. It looks like you have no problem clearing bigger tires vertically. It's at lock that you will rub. Spacers make that worse. Remove them and you'll fit a larger tire.

 

I have 245/75's and a 4" lift and with my spidertrax I rub the cab mount backing out of my driveway.

 

By the way the Eibach coils will give you 3" of lift on their own so you don't need to preload them at all. Preloading them more will just ruin your CV angles and your ride. The angles are already pretty bad on my truck with the billy's set at 0 and no new UCA's

 

I'm surprised he is able to run the Billy's @2.5 without having to upgrade the UCA's anyway.

 

That's what everyone says but it rides great and CV angles aren't that bad but I'm not getting as much lift as others.
