leveling 2016 with bilstein adjustable 5100

Sorry guys I fixed my typo 285/65r18 instead of 285/75r18

 

This one idk why it's different ha

 

Ya i mistyped it. I fixed it.

 

It's good figured it out ha. But I'm thinking of doing the 1 in setting. My off-road has only 1 in of rake. I've been told it'll fit fine but idk. Trial by error i guess

 

Ahh. It will be very close.

 

I could set them at the upper setting and do a block or sumo springs. Just not sure which route to take yet. I just want to fit 285/70/17 I can get them for a deal. I don't Baja I live up north alot of woody trails simpler stuff I guess.

 

I would just bump up to the next setting. I love how mine rides. 1 inch block in the rear. Sits a tiny bit taller in the rear.

 

@motoglen I think I may go to a 275/70/17 ko2 it's about half an inch smaller I think that'd be better. Unless someone chimes in saying a 285/70/17 will fit

 

Just added 5100's all the way around with stock springs. 4 Wheel Parts did the install and got everything perfectly level and re-aligned. I really like the way it rides, feels factory but a little tighter/firmer.

 

What setting did you go with on the front 5100's ... looks great !

 

I got under there and checked; there are four grooves and they used the top setting. The way they explained it is they adjust so the truck is level and then test drive to make sure it is settled and they check it again. After all is set they do an alignment. They told me the usual adjustment on a 2016 is about 2"

 

Are those the correct part # for the 2016+ or did you just get the 2nd gen ones?

 

Got the ones specific to the 2016+

 

Do you have (cali lean) now? Did you put anything in the back to level? Im sure the front would sit higher.

 

No it's level or maybe 1/4" or so lower in front than back. Nothing added to back.

 

Were you able to get your alignment back to factory spec?

 

Alignment is back to spec and I think the ride has an improved feel over the factory OR shocks.

 

Here's another shot of the after:

 

Looks good. I'm debating on going with the 5100s at either 1.55 or the 2 in notch. Yours looks good at 2in so that may be my decision maker. 265/75/16 correct?
