5100 bilstein question

ordered the rear 5100's tonight, mine are the 0-1", if I go to a 1.25 or 1.5 block will that create an issue with the shock. I'm sure this has been asked before but unable to locate. Thanks

 

It will be fine. Welcome to the forum.

 

Bilstein states that they are only good up to 1" but from the research I did, most people say anything 1.5" and under and you want the 0-1" shock. I went with the 0-1" and installed a 1.5" AAL.. Rides great and haven't noticed any issues at all.

 

There is the 0-1.5", then it goes up to 3-4". It says you can use the 0-1.5" for up to a 1.5" AAL. And then the 3-4" from 1.5" to a 3, or 4" lift.

I have the 0-1.5" with a 2" AAL, and have had no issues.

 

Realistically what kind of lift can I see with the fronts set at 1.75 using the stock coils.

 

~2".

 

Stock I measured 5 3/4" from the top of my stock tires to the bottom of my fender.. After setting billies to 1.75" I had a 8 1/4" gap.

They've settled now but have yet to take another measurement. I'll take one for you on Monday when I get back from my work trip.
