    Going to put 5100 Bilstein on front adjust to 2" & Bilsteins on back with 1" block. Will this work?

    Welcome!

    It will work but an add leaf or 3 leaf pack would be a better way to go vs a block.

    5100's are great.

    They're saying to go with a new leaf pack or AAL in the rear to lift it instead of blocks.

    To go with AAL do they make a 1 inch. Because Bilsteins on rear are only good for 1 inch lift. If so what brand.

    If I use 2 inch on shocks in front what size in AAL do I need to level off truck. Front stock is 1 inch lower than back .

    I'm new on this as well and just ordered the same thing. Just posted but didn't realize how to respond like this haha. I ordered the front and rear struts from Bilstein from homestead off-road. I am hoping to do it Thursday or Friday. I'll let you know how it goes.

    No, just the front and rear. I only wanted to lift my truck max 2" and after reading through a bunch of these it seemed like everyone says to go with the 5100.
