Bilstein 5100s @ 2.5" and 1.5 AAL - Pics Please?

So you have BOTH the 4th leaf TSB and 5th AAL? Also do you have UCAs? And does it rum with those tires?

 

Yes. 5 Leafs. No UCAs. I dont rub with these tires at all, but i also trimmed a lil bit. My alignment is good and tires are wearing evenly.

 

Your 1.75"/1.5" AAL combo looks good! That's what I'm going for. How's the ride and did you go with 5100s in the rear?

 

havent been on here for a while but still running the same but bought wrangler dura tracs 265/75/16. Love the setup. I will have to update some pics. And yes I have 5100s all around. Rides great.

 

What size tires are those?

 

Hey I got a question. I read in your post where you said you have 285's with the 2.5 billy front and 1.5 rear leaf. What did you have to trim? Plastic? Metal? Do you still like the setup?

 

Hey guys i have a 2003 and am going to put bilsteins all the way around. I am wondering if i should get AAL's, are they easy to install by yourself or do you have to have them done at a shop?
Would I be smarter to get shackles or a block in the rear? If so what height should I get if i want to run my Billys at max?
This is how she sits today stock, minus the canopy.

 

same setup....

I just had to trim the plastic, no pinch weld mod for me yet, probably when i get 295's though. I still love the setup and my wallet is prety happy to, some of the other lifts can get pretty spendy.

 

Ewhitman11, the aal isnt hard persay its just time consuming when your alone. I know i got frustrated and had to drink a beer. Shackels are a better option imo then a block if you were not going with an aal, since you have a first gen.

 

Same suspension setup (but with rear shackle flip now) with 295/75r16 Nittos...

 

2.5" setting on the bilsteins up front, 2" aal in the back. But it settles to a 1.5"

 

Man I can only hope that my access cab looks similar to that one after I get these billy's installed. Update on the thread here, just bought billy's!!!
I'll have them installed sometime this week but I'm curious about how to get the rear perfectly leveled with the new billy front! I do have the TSB (so I'm running four leafs) should I buy the 1.5" or the 2" AAL if I will run the billy's at 2.5? Also, how is yours settling down to a 1.5" AAL? Did you add some weight in the bed? Is that what I will have to do in order to get it perfectly level after installing the 2" AAL?
I am also running 265/75/r16 Duratracs (biggest I could fit in stock) so I'm also curious as to how those will look with that much lift! If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated
