Yes, depending on what tires you go with you should definitely better offroad traction. Dealers can fix the speedometer, but it's hit an miss with the dealers. You'll find dealers that have no idea what you're talking about and you'll have dealers who have no problem doing it.
My guess...Bilstein will last longer. That's just a subjective guess. I have no idea how long the R/C struts will last. 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k miles? As long as I can get 25k out of the struts I'll be happy. My Bilsteins started to ride rougher after around 40k miles. Chances are I won't have...
I just had them installed on Saturday. Nothing offroad yet. Likely won't ever have much more than bumpy dirtroad ever. I have a dirtbike and 4 wheeler for offroading. After 200 miles of street driving, including some rough pavement, I've go no complaints.
Yes. You will need control arms up...
For #2 are you talking the RC loaded struts or just the top hat and preload spacers? The Bilsteins are a fantastic product. I've run 5100s before. They were a stiffer ride but still great. If you're doing any offraloadong or high speed dirt running go with those. I'm a street queen. I...

What did you have a for a rear lift? The RC rear spacer? I have no idea why RC includes such a small spacer. That's why I went with the Supreme Suspension spacer myself.
I updated my measurement in a previous post. I've settled a 1/4" up front after only a couple days of drive (80ish...
Preliminary measurements. I'll remeasure after a tank or two of gas and the front end settles. Currently, I gained 4 inches up front. :eek:

Thank you. I've got 285/55's for my stock wheels. I'm going to have to run spacers though. I can already tell. We'll see how I like that setup. I may drop to 20s and run 35x12.5s down the road. We'll see!
I did take measurements. I'll snap photos of the cv's and post up the measurements tomorrow. I'm guessing they should be fine. Plenty of guys running 3.5" kits. (y)
So far so good. It drives very similar to stock. My wife thought it felt the same. Very pleased with the ride so far. I want to get some more miles on the truck with the stock tires, before I mount the bigger ones. I'm sure that's what will stiffen the ride.
@Ram15000823 have any more miles on the lift? Any front end settling? I've read these struts ride even better after 400-500 miles. Just curious if you've noticed anything or had any settling. I'm supposedly getting my stuff installed on Saturday morning.
