As the title says, I installed the Bilstein 5100 leveling struts about a month ago, and I have been shopping around and looking for what tires and rims to purchase. I orginally wanted 35s with my leveling kit but after researching I will probably rub offroading in the mountains with this setup, so I've decided to get a 6" lift already...LOL Now I've been looking at the Fabtech and Procomp lifts with the coilovers and am leaning towards the fabtech, but since I just bought these bilsteins, would there be another option to utilize these shocks or would I be better off trying to sell them and go with the coilovers or the Bilstein 4-6 " 5100s......Decisions Decisions

 

i have a 2.5 level and 35's with NO rub but if you got the cash to get a full lift than go for it and sell what you just got and get the full kit. if you lift it are you going to go bigger than 35's.

 

If I can get away with running 35s on my leveling kit I might stay with that for a while. We run on some pretty rocky trails and will be flexin and 33s just arent going to be tall enough. If I get a 6" I'll probably stay with 35s, I've found a couple 8" Rize lifts priced pretty good, if I go that route Ill go 37s.... Too many options

 

i clear and i have flexed my truck a little as you can see. keep in mind 37's are great but your getting in the area of needing gears for the truck.

 

here is a pic of it on level ground and the other side on that hill

 

Looks good...I think I'll go ahead and order my wheels and tires and see how it does. Then if needed I order the lift later. Now i just have to find what backspacing will clear both leveled and the fabtech lift... Just in case

 

here is a link to my wheels maybe you can get the BS from them as a refrence

wheelin pics from tonight.... needin a lift...LOL

 

I'm running the leveling struts with a Procomp lift, I dont do any wheeling but I'm running 37's with no issues on the street.

 

Scrwdrvr, what gears are you running with those 37's? Considering 35's with my 3.73, but afraid will need new gears to be happy with power. Not sure it will be worth all of that.

 

What tire size are you running right now? The stock 265s or 275s?

EDIT:
How is the overall ride quality with the Bilsteins as compared to stock? I ask because I think the Bilsteins are a good possibility for me in the future.

 

Sorry. Anyway, have 20's with 3.73 LS and 2" AS levelling kit. Came with 32's. Running 33's currently.
