    Will replacing stock bilsteins with 5100's all around raise this ride?
    I need to level the front.
    Heard about 5100's up front with eibach springs.
    But not sure how will the rear end up.
    Ideas are welcome.
    Thanks image.jpg

    Yes, 5100's will work with stock springs. The lowest setting .85 to get more level with the stock rear. If you go higher at 1.75 or 2.5 you will need an AAL or a new leaf pack to raise the rear. Wheelers Off Road aren't overpriced, and they are easy to deal with.

    OK thanks
    Does it make any difference on the year?
    I've seen people saying that older 3 leaf use .85 and newer 4 leaf use 1.75 to level the front?
    Thanks for the info.

    I cant really answer that, my AAl went on at the same time I raised the front. I did have the 3 leaf pack before the frame recall, and have the 4 leaf now. It isn't any higher with an AAL + overload in the back with the 4 leaf pack vs the 3 leafs.

    Get it on level ground and measure from the center of the wheel to the fender flare on all four corners. That would tell you how close to level you will be if you increase the front by 3/4 of an inch roughly. If you go to the next notch to 1.75" I think you will end up a little nose high, then when you put any weight in the back it will just increase the bro lean.

    I like mine about an inch to an inch and a half higher in the back so it dosent look overloaded with more than 200 lbs in the bed.

    Ok. That makes sense.
    Thanks for the help.
