Bilstein 5100 Settings

[CPenn1086]

Looking for anyone here who is running Bilstein 5100s at setting 4 on a non ORG truck. Pictures and feedback on ride quality would be greatly appreciated.

I have read through tons of threads and I see that most people are running them at setting 5 or 6. I am looking to retain some rake as I do load the bed up pretty heavily from time to time, and I hate the look of being nose high.

Also planning to jump from 275/55-20 to 275/60-20 so I believe this will help with that.

Thanks!

Setting 5 is where Bilstein says not to go higher on ORP springs. That will be about stock on a non ORP.

I spent months and read every 5100 thread there was to try and make my decision. Ended up on 5 and was pretty happy. Ride is great, if anything an improvement. After a while, I regretted not going 6 and adding a rear spacer. I don't know if it settled a bit or I just got used to it, but being a NON-ORG, now I want more of a "lift" look. I may re-do it eventually and go with 6 and a rear spacer.

But, 5 was a pretty big look improvement from stock. If I were you, I wouldn't do 4...
