    I have a 1" rake on 2016 DC. I bought bilsteins and want to set to 2.5 and ad 1" solid block on back. No off-road use at all. Thank you for any opinions

    Are you trying to level? My math says, with 1" of rake and +2.5"F/+1"R=1/2" high in front

    Those Bilsteins are for '05-'15; '16s have a taller spring and higher spring rate.
    The lift heights and valving are different.

    Thought I read Bilstein has '16 model-specific coming...

    AAL in the rear; no block.

    IMO, if you're not off-roading, don't lift it; at most level the front.
    Unless you're trying to clear big tires; got to do, what you got to do.:)

    If you have a 4x4 and want that much lift, I'd be prepared for needle bearing vibes.
    I plan on 1" of lift after bumpers and armor. I'll probably do the ECGS bushing mod then; if I don't get the vibes before then.

    0" or .85"
    The lift height is exaggerated when applied on '16s; .85" might be too much.

    Yes; alignment after lifting.

    Your 4wd sits too high......Said no one ever....

    Raise it. 1" blocks don't hurt a thing. AAL is slightly better, but not enough to bark about with just 1"
