    I'm thinking when I go to replace my shocks and struts on my 2020 Limited I want to stay almost stock. I wouldn't mind another inch higher in the front but the rear and stay as is. I still want some front drop. I was thinking Bilstein 5100. So do I pair then with a aftermarket coild springs?

    5100s use stock springs.
    I guess you could use an aftermarket spring but it is not needed.
    The 5100 has 3 settings that could adjust your front lift.

    This may or may not help.

    You could use a .5" shim with the stock shocks.
    It would give you your 1-inch lift, but the naysayers will say it might overextend your front end, kinda like a 2.5" or 3" spacer lift.

    Kinda depends on if you plan to go offroad or if you're a pavement princess..:D

    Good luck...:thumbsup:
