BILSTEIN 5100 SET #7 AND 2"TOP HAT SPACER

[Johanian]

WHATS UP GUYS. I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING THE IDEA OF THIS SETUP AND WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACKS IF I NEED ANYTHING ELSE. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE 5100S SITTING IN THE GARAGE AND HAVE TSP UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE WAY THAT ARE GOOD FOR UP TO 4' LIFT.

WHAT DO YALL THINK OF THIS? IM TRYING TO ACHIEVE A 4" LIFT ON THE FRONT

I think if you lift 4" without modifying the suspension geometry you will have issues. There is reason that 4" lift kits drop the whole suspension down. Your CV angles will cause you problems and you may have issues aligning. The max for the way you are looking at is 3.5" and I am not sure I would go over 3". You are trying to do a 4" lift by using just a leveling process. Just my opinion. but I wouldn't do it. It may work but I doubt it will last too long before having problems.

Also the ride with the Bilsteins maxed plus a spacer is going to be terrible. But yeah you'll tear your CV boots up doing that much without dropping your differential.

You can… but be aware the coil might make contact with the control arms when the suspension dips causing a clunk.

Why would you use top hat spacers when you have adjustable struts to give you the lift?

^^^This.

A 4" level only works properly when paired with lowering springs in the rear.
