Bilstein 5100 Install Question

Hello,
I'm Installing new wheels and tires for my truck (Method 703 Wheels & BFG K02 285/70R/17). I am going to Install Bilseting 5100's all around with new Icon Delta UCA. My goal is to level out the truck and make room for the new tires. Do I need to replace the springs as well or keep it stock?

 

You can keep the stock springs and set the pearch on the second notch/ring to level the truck front to rear. Unless you plan on putting extra weight on the front.... steel bumper, winch or just want more lift.

 

I plan on keeping stock for while. I do want to add a new skid plate in the near future. I do want to add steel bumpers all around but that's a year or two down the road. I'll probably put a new suspension with new springs, and leaf springs at that point.

 

The bilstein are a good starter kit, without breaking the bank.

 

Be prepared to cut, chop, and hammer to fit those 285's. Not saying you are going to for sure, but most have to do so.

 

You can and might want to keep the stock springs. They have a spring rate of 700 lbs.

 

Keep your factory springs so you don't loose the lifetime warranty from Bilstein.

 

This too.

 

Question , are sport and or springs the same ?
