New Level Kit Set up

scz71864 · July 21, 2012

After reading a bunch of stuff on here and other places, i couldnt find the answer. So right now i have the RC 2in level on my truck. I plan to take the RC OFF my truck and replace with the 5100's level shocks from bilstein. Then i want to add the .5 top spacer rendering me close to 2.5 of lift. I am also adding an AAL and rear 5100s. anyone see any probems with this set up?

Thats a whole lot of money to do nearly the same thing you have now.

unless you're towing a lot i wouldn't do the AAL they tend to ride stiffer. I'd just go for a taller block instead.

im planning on selling the RC kit as well as the shocks. im doing the rear install myself. i dont like the ride of the stock ranchos. so its not all the much for a better ride.

I was looking at the AAL's as well. Im going to do the RC level then was trying to decide between the rear blocks or the AAL's. Let us know how you like them? I wanted these so i can still load my truck up and not worry about squating in the rear.

ill do a review when they are on. i wanted them for the extra pay load and to help with towing

Why don't you leave the 2" spacer that you have in there already, add the 5100's at the 1'st setting. That will net you 2.6".

Sounds like you know exactly what you want. Those AAL's will definately help when there is weight on the truck. Should also lift the rear of your truck 1" or so by adding them. Not sure if you already know what kind you want but BDS has a goos AAL set that doesn't cost much and comes with everything you need to reassemble the leaf pack.

i got the the AAL and .5 spacer from fat bobs. I wanted to use at little spacer as possible and put most of the lift in the shocks. i read the the bilsteins will give more up travel vs a spacer
