Bilstein 5100 and wheels/tires clearance

[Ram/Tun]

Guys,
I would appreciate if you could guide me to right direction.
Ordered bilstein adjustable 5100
Ordered: Wheels 20x10 with -18 offset and wrapped in cooper discover at3 xlt's 33"x12.5

Currently has only aftermarket airbags on rear when loading a lot of heavy material, not that often.
Here is what bags I have on the rear... https://timbergroveenterprises.com/shop/2019-ram-1500rebel-stainless-rear-asam-sq7724956

My question would be how high would I need to go on setting ring bilstein in order to not have any rub or trimming with above mentioned wheels and tires?
Would like to mention that I would like to have slightly rake higher at rear.
My original plan were to go at front 2.6" but not sure what would end up with rear.

Also I don't mind spending additional money for good corrected angle UCAs with level/lift. What would be good brand? Someone mentioned to just use Mopar UCAs that people use with Mopar 2" Lift from ebay but I don't trust it product from ebay.
I would appreciate if you could provide some right direction.
Should I upgrade rear with blistein?

Would someone be kind and advise if you done similar setup?

Kinda did mine in reverse. Replaced factory tires with 305/55/20 Ridge Grapplers on stock suspension, stock wheels. Got a little rubbing in reverse. Added Bilstein 5100s and set rings at highest level, which guess they say gives 2.6 or so inches of lift. That setting gave me a perfect level (see attached pic). Even after level still had to do minor trimming due to width of tire (12.5). No issues with stock UCAs. If I had to do over again I wouldn’t go that wide though, but no wider than 11.5, not because of rubbing but driving dynamics, fuel economy. I have the 3.21 gears. Don’t get me wrong still drives good, but would drive better with this setup on less wide tires. Now planning on installing 3.5” Readylift and Readylift advised lowering Bilsteins down to stock level before installing full kit. Once I get lift, depending on look/stance, I may change out tires to either Toyo Open Country AT3 295/65/20 or KO2 285/65/20.

Reason debating the Toyo is it’s only a hair wider than 285/65/20 KO2s but just as light (think although Toyo is wider it’s actually a lb lighter - 62 vs 63 lbs/tire).

Very nice truck. I hope I won't have rub since going -18 offset with 20 x 10 wheels.
What made you decide to go readylift?

Have you done anything for the rear?

Read a lot of positive reviews on RL here and on YouTube, etc. Just wanted little more lift, nothing too crazy or aggressive that would alter or compromise the factory suspension/driving dynamics too much, and everything I read/researched about RL just seemed to meet this. Also after discussing with local shop I use, which is highly regarded as the top shop in my area, they highly recommended RL SST 3.5 lift kit. RL customer service and support has already proven to be really good as well. They even have a vendor that’s a member of this forum who I reached out to with questions about install and he immediately responded with recommendation/advice.

Oh and thanks Ram/Tun for the complement on my truck!

This is great news. I'm putting in my 5100's next week and I'm grinding over tires right now.

I only have RC 2" strut lift in front with 20x10 -18 and Fury R/Ts 33x12.5, 0 rub 0 issues. You'll be fine
