Bilstein 5100 plus spacer Question

[Iron]

I have a 2023 Rebel and about to install 5100s up front (#5) with RC UCAs. I really like the look of a 3.5 inch lift, but with my current setup I'll be coming in at ~2.7"

I'm leaning towards adding a 1/2 spacer on top of the 5100's to make it ~3.2" lift but was wondering if anyone has added a 1" spacer and moved the 5100's to setting #3 or 4 to get exactly 3.5" of lift?

(I understand that going over 3" lift will cause some concerns with CV Joints but I will not be doing any off-roading)

Thanks!

Since you have the Rebel you have the ORG. That means your coils are 1 inch taller. So, with your 5100's set at #5 you'll be very close to 3 inches. That is all you should have without going to a 4 inch lift. Do not under any circumbstances put a puch on your 5100's. At 3 inches you will want the UCA's in order to have full travel and not damage your front end. You only need 2 inches to fit 35's. If you want more you really should forget 3.5 and get a 4 inch lift kit.
