Bilstein 5100's to level

So I've read all the threads on level kits, spacers, coil overs, etc.

If I want to pick up some Bilstein 5100's, middle setting, to raise my front end just a bit, is that all I need to buy? Stock springs still work, correct?

Alignment still needed after install I assume?

thanks

 

Yes. Reuse stock spring and get alignment
Thats all thats needed.

 

That's it. Good luck and post some pics when you're done

 

You got it all figured out! Good luck.

 

I went 5100's all the way around. Fronts on mid setting. Used existing truck springs and got an alignment when done. Love it and no regrets.

 

Does top setting (2.5”) require anything else besides alignment?

 

That is what I did on a new set I think they put raised the front 2.5 and the rear 1. I still have the factory tires and decided to not align..

 

...

 

Yup...same. Leveled out perfectly and zero issues with rubbing.

 

Not really
Possibly UCa’s but most likely stock will work.

you will probably need to raise the rear though or you will be a little high in the front

 

I did this all the way up and RC 1” block In the rear and couldn’t be happier with it. Although my toe keeps wondering outwards and I’m getting uneven ware. So getting some iCon UCA’s pretty soon.

 

Installed Bilstein 5100 on all four corners the front struts are on the top notch which gave me pretty level set up, my rear fender wells sit 1/4 inch higher than front close enough for me. These are stock TSS rims and Tires in my 2020 CM
