    I installed Bilsteins on my truck a year or so ago and did a small lift (1.5" approx) on the front to match the AAL I also added in the back. I want to lift the truck more (total of 3") which I should be able to do with the Bilsteins up front by adjusting them but what would you do in the rear? I've looked at leaf packs but those generally don't lift as much as I'm looking (total 3"). I see that people say not to use spacers. So what the heck are my options in the rear?

    Just full send and get a icon rtx, configure it to a standard load setting. They are much better than stock. And good price too !

    Bilstein 5100s up front, only go up to 2". Did you use spacers in the front too, or aftermarket coil springs?

    Put the front on the lowest setting with the correct springs to lift your load.

    Dont forget UCAs to be sure it can be aligned.

    If this is a cosmetic lift, a block in the rear is fine. If you tow or load heavy springs are the better choice.

    You're going to spend a good bit for 1".
