    Hi, I've been digging around and can't really find out how to get a 1-1.5 inch lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks and I can't really find any info on them. I've also been thinking of maybe going for the 6112 & 5160 setup but the cost savings are pretty enticing. I'm not looking to get new UCA's nor am I going for bigger tires since I want to keep this truck relatively stock for now. If you guys have any info it would help a ton.

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    Then you can do 4600 with a 1/2” spacer. Or take offs from a 3rd gen with a 1/2” spacer.

    If you wanted to keep the pricing down, you'd use these struts and raise the clip height up to the appropriate height, preloading the stock coils to give you the lift.

    The 6112's would ride considerably better, and then you're getting new springs as well.

    Under 2.5" of lift, you don't have to change the UCA's, but keep in mind that yours are probably original and pretty worn, so watch out for any torn boots before starting the install.

    Alright, I'll probably wait to get the 6112's. I'll get new UCA's later.
