    alright so I just ordered the bilstein adjustable 5100s. I'm running on stock Springs and was wondering what or if I'll have to adjust anything else if I have them set at 2"? Also, will 33s fit without rubbing? I'm new to this so I appreciate the help! This is my first 4x4 so I'm pretty excited!!

    Congrats on the new truck! As far as adjustment, you'll just need to have the truck aligned. For the rubbing, yes it'll most likely rub on something. Namely cab mount, front mud flap and/ or front/rear edge of wheel well flare. Lift height means nothing as that's just a static measurement. Once you hit bumps and the wheel is traveling up and down you're as good as stock. Plan on doing some trimming and removal of mud flaps.

    Will 33's on stock wheels rub on the upper control arm when turning? The op didn't mention getting new wheels so I was just wondering. Something to think about. spacers would fix that IF it was a problem.
