Bilstein 5100 Levelin Shocks Yet Another?

Hey All, I know it's been discussed until the cows come home, but looking for a few final answers prior to pulling the trigger. I want to take some of the rake out of the front end of my 2011 f-150 4x4 and Bilsteins sounds like a great affordable option. Has anyone found the perfect setting 1.5 or 2.0, in addition were cams and alignment necessary post install? Lastly will it effect the traction control or any other computer monitored systems, if so what is the process to re-set. One more question, anyone know of a good installer in So.California, checked with my local shops in Santa Barbara and get the impression no one really know much about these shocks. Appreciate the responses.

I am very interested in these shocks, think i will be getting them a little further down the road.

As for affecting traction control, i dont think that will be an issue.

I can't tell you what setting to use, but it is advisable to get an alignment after any front end work that requires disassembling the front suspension.
