hey guys Is anyone running bilstein 5100 shocks at the 2.1 setting on with their 4x4? do you guys have a shake when 4x4 is engaged? I also wanted to know if I can clear 295/60r20. I dont want to have problems with my cv's.

 

I just had Bilstein 5100s installed last week on the 1.4 setting. It looks much better, but not level. I don't have any issues. You should be safe with the 2.1 setting, but you still won't be level. Don't forget to get a front end alignment. By the way, at the 1.4 setting, it raised my truck approx 1.4 inches and not lower or higher, like some leveling kits do. I wish I had went with the 2.1 inch setting. If it wasn't for the time, blood, sweat, and money, I would change the setting. I will probably eventually change the setting, though.

 

i have the bilsteins on the 2.1" setting and had a 2" level kit on the truck before that and ive put over 55,000 miles on the truck since i first installed the level kit and no issues or problems at all 2wd or 4wd.the 2" kit levels my truck pretty well but i have a crew with rambox and they dont sit as high in the rear as a non rambox bed.as far as the 295/60/20s it will depend on the offset of the rim you are mounting them on.you should clear as far as height but it will be tight at full turn or might hit during full travel off road

 

I don't have Bilsteins, but I do have 2" spacers in the front on 295/65R20 Trail Grapplers. No issues thus far. They fit on the stock Laramie wheels and rub just a touch at full lock. 1/4" wheel spacers fixed that perfectly.

 

what offset do you guys think will work? I have a 20x8 wheels right now but im going to buy aftermarket 20x9 wheels

 

any neg offset should do it. got to love a deep lip!!! im currently shopping for similar setup. 295/60R20 Nittos are going to look really good, good compromise btwn stock and going all the way to 35s

what did you go with 59fifty?

 

artangeo i should be recieving my bilsteins in about 2 to 3 weeks. paid 188 for just the front ones. Im currently getting all the less expensive mods out of the way, like exhuast and intake then im gonna start looking for rims. again lol

 

i have a 2006 ram (that i love) put a 2 inch level kit in and a extra leaf in the rear. i am looking at getting 295/60/20 nitto trail grapplers fpr my truck and stock rims. you think they will fit and not rub or should i be thinking about 295/55/20s. thanks for all the help.
