    I am installing Bilstein 5100's in the rear and it's my understanding they don't add any lift. However, they allow for up to 1 inch of lift if I'm understanding correctly.

    How would this be achieved?

    Recommendations please and thanks!

    either by replacing the springs, or adding a block.

    Your assumptions would be correct. The shock absorber/damper in the rear is a separate component from the load bearing spring; the spring bears the weight of the load, the shock dampens and controls it. You would need new coils (longer, stiffer, or progressive rate) or a spacer of some sort to achieve lift.
