5100 or Readylfit

I’m on the Texas Gulf Coast. Rains all the time. No issues with rain.
Pretty quiet too.

 

The link I attached to my posting has the blocks and spacers.
Interesting, didn’t know they had a leveling kit without blocks/spacers.
Do you have a link?
Thanks!

Do you know what your 5100 were set at I’m picture 3? I believe they have three settings

 

This is 265/70/17 on ray10’s. Bit more offset than what you want and they did rub slightly at stock height. I went with 5100’s all around on 0 setting and 884’s up front. Truck sits perfect for me. Rear is 1/2” higher in back still. Ride is much better, no more boat feel.

 

Going from 265/65r17 to 265/70r17 will only give you an 1/2” lift with tires only even though the overall diameter is 1” more.

 

For leveling I don’t remember.
I did buy the Bilstiens 5100’s 3rd gen from Marie at Headstrong.com
She can probably help you with what setting for leveling. I don’t remember.

For the lift:
I didn’t do the install.
I do know it took the installer like 3 tries, adjustments with the front Bilstiens. I think he ended up going 1” in front.
Not for sure though.

 

I had a shop put a 3" front - 1" rear with 17x9 265/70r17 with Nitto Grapplers, stock shocks. I plan on changing shocks and A-arms later.

 

I have a 3inch leveling kit 3 in in the front and 2in in the rear still have Lil bit of lean in the front but not much I have rough country kit I had Les scwab do it for $670 total out the door kept my stock shocks I upgraded my tires also and no rubbing so far over 10,000 miles

 

Right now I'm working on 16" Level 8's in Bronze with 285 Wildpeak AT3's. Dont have an address thanks to hurricane Michael but just for visual reference. Whatever you choose, I would definitely recommend replacing the rear shocks for sure. Especially for minor offloading since overextending can be deadly for your truck. Front not so much since the spacer goes on top of strut.

Like it's been said before, 5100's and adding a leaf is the official lift of the website. People will trash you for using spacers but its whatever fits your budget and what you want out of it.

 

I wouldn’t mind doing that off the dealer will. They are the ones wanting to do the readylift under warranty at 3-2. I think I’d be happy with 5100 in the front to help lift it an inch with the adjustments. I sent them an email to ask. They would put it all under my loan which is the perk as well

 

That's cool. I talked to the stealership here first as well. I was planning on doing a 4" suspension but every dealer is different with what they choose to ignore mod wise when it comes to warranty. Just sucks they charge so much for labor. They wanted $2100 for a set of 285 BFG KO2's and TRD Pro wheels mounted and balanced....the guy punched the numbers into the calculator and just turned it around, seemed too embarrassed to say it out loud.

 

Thank you for the recommendation @El Duderino we truly appreciate it

 

Out of curiosity, do you feel as though your front has settled a bit more than expected? I feel as though mine has settled quite a bit (5100's, OME 884, 1-1/2" AAL). I need to re-measure soon, but I need to take off the cover and bars etc, to get it to the same set up as when I did initial measurements.

Day lift was done:

I haven’t measured it but it feels the same.

 

I edited an added pictures. Even looks as though it has settled a bit....

 

How did you go with 884’s and add 1 1/2” in the back. That would have put me 2” higher in the back.

 

I wasn't looking for level. I like a bit of rake. That and I wanted a little help with squat in the back. My truck was level in stock config for some reason.

 

Oh ok. I had 1 1/2” rake when I was stock.

 

my initial measurements were a shit show:

from ground to well

Driver Front - 35-1/8" Passenger Front - 35-1/4"
Driver Rear - 35-5/8" Passenger Rear - 36
