Leveled with Bilstein 5100’s

I finally pulled the trigger on leveling my truck went with Bilstein 5100’s after reading good things on here about them.
I went with the middle height I. The shocks and it raised the front 2.25”, even thingy their paperwork says middle is 1.75” lift. I didn’t do anything to the rear as I barely tow anything ever. I did notice the ride was better with these shocks and I couldn’t be happier.

After height is 38.50”


Before height was 36.25”

 

Nice.

 

Funny it lifted your truck that high in the middle clip. From what I've read here maybe they were installed incorrectly with the perch upside down? Worth a quick look, if not maybe they used the third setting,seems strange to get over 2 inchs on the middle clip.

 

I thought the same thing and looked at the clip, compared it to a pic. Looks correct to me, I’m going to call the shop on the Am and ask what level the tech did. I feel like he did the highest setting too.

 

+1

 

From your pics it looks like it's on the top setting. The middle should still give you a slight forward rake. You said you looked at the clip? If you can see the cir-clip then the spring seat is definitely on upside down. It should be up inside the spring seat and not visible at all. If you can, post some pics of the coil overs so we can see what you've got.

 

I just had mine installed, middle setting, and mine measures 38-3/4 on the front, 39 exact on back, and they are on correct. I checked before I even left the shop.
You can see the top clip position in this picture just above the perch

 

If it’s not too harsh for you at the 3rd setting, you can always get some shackles for the back and give it some extra overall elevation more than you originally intended. The rear will feel better with new poly bushings usually installed with shackles.

The stance/space of the front wheel well with your 5100’s installed looks good. Just get the rear up to match.

 

Here is front left.

 

The spring seats are on right so that's a good thing. Give it a little time, the fronts will settle a bit and will probably put it dead level.
