    I had planned on leveling my 2020 Sport with Billstein 5100s.

    When I measure both "fender lip to ground" & "fender lip to center of wheel" I get about 1" higher in the rear. I was expecting more of a difference.
    If I set the Billsteins to get a 1.1" lift do I run the risk of the front looking physically higher than the rear? That is definitely a look I want to avoid.

    Ya know what I mean? In everyone's experience does making the fender lips the same height get the correct look or would it be safer to use the .65" setting?

    First: measure on flat ground(not it looks flat) and with the emergency brake off. Now 1” rake is pretty common on these trucks. If you set the bilsteins and get 1.1 probably won’t notice a .1” but if you get more you might. You won’t know how much lift you get until you set the coilover and put it on the truck. Good luck!

    Knowing what I know now, I prefer the rear to be 1" higher, so when you load even 200lbs it doesn't look like its trying to aim for the moon.
