For those of you that used the 5100 adjustables in the front at circlip 5 and the Readylift top hat spacer. Did you notice the front settle after a few days? I also added at the same time the 5100 non adjustables in the back with the Readylift rear spring spacer. The front is noticeably lower now a few days after the lift was installed

What spacer in the rear?.. 1 inch?

Pretty sure I just decided on my next wheel and tire set up just this photo. Nice!
Heading to another tire shop this weekend to get the tires road forced and the hubcentric rings installed. The tire shop that the lift place uses did not install them and only had an old fashion tire balance machine. Have some vibrations around 50-60 right now. Also one of the Fuel wheels had a defect on it where it was not painted correctly. Getting that one replaced under warranty. Other than that, love it.

* Bilstein 5100s all around (collar5)
* ReadyLift Upper Arms
* MotoFab 1in rear spacer
* XD Hoss II 20x9 0 offset
* BFG KO2 35x12.5x20

Truck has off road package
Hopefully this helps as I went back and forth on specs. Rides great and love the stance.

That's HOT. I really wanted Hydro Blue but they stopped building hydro Laramies and I didn't want to pay higher than new for a used truck. Yours looks absolutely incredible.

You have the Spacer for the spring on the bottom of it, I've never seen any system that has that on the bottom and not on top of the spring. Was that supposed to be like that or did you just install it like that for running the line out the top
They were “keyed” to be in the bottom and instructions said so as well. I never even contemplated putting the spacers in the top.

How much rake do you have with this setup?..and did you get a full inch or more with the rear spacer installed?

Would you say the Bilstein 5100 on clip 5 are closer to 2" or 2.5" up front? I thought about going with the Motofab 2.5" front and 1" rear to achieve a similar look to yours. @PaHydroRam

Curious your guys' thoughts on this. I am going to get my tires re-balanced tomorrow since I have a slight wobble at highway speeds. I went from the stock tire size 285/45/22 to 33x12.5r22. The total diameter did not seem drastic enough to need a new alignment, but just wanted to see if you guys found it necessary to align with new different size tires (no lift --- just the factor air suspension).

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I looked up up your spacers and it was different than mine. Mine was a top Spacer that I had to take the coil all the way out and put a plate on top of the coil frame to screw the plate to the Spacer. Huge waste of time and now I can't even run my airbag lines through it. When it gets warmer than 30 degrees here I'm getting a bottom Spacer to replace the top one like yours so I can run the airline for the bags. What kind did you get, I've looked at all price ranges and they really are just the same thing as far as I can tell except for brand. Amazon seems to have best price at $38

Really like the look. Did you use the Readylift top hat space? and how is the cv joint angles?

I didn't use the top hat spacer. Just the upper arms with the 5100's. Angles are good. Nothing I'm concerned about. No noises, pops or clicking in the suspension. Rides great
