wheels should be here Monday. 18x9 -12 methods with 35x12.5 trail grapplers.
How do those icons ride compared to stock? Sorry for all the questions.
rides just a good as stock...maybe a hair firmer...after mounting the tires it feels more like a truck and less like a Cadillac...im very happy with the overall results and the wife approves as well
looking forward to seeing the before and after pics...I really wanted the 5160s but was too impatient as they have been consistently on backorder...
do you have any pics of the zone uca installed? haven't seen many of those.Eibach’s set at 1.8 w/ ORG and Zone UCAs. 275/65’s (34x11) on stock rims. Perfectly level. Adding Timbrens to the back in the future.

So fast update lol, Bilstein lifts just added 4 sets of the 5100s front/rears this morning and I was able to get one. They are still showing 3 in stock, assuming these actually ship.
Just placed my order, 2 left in stock.
Dang, those are some nice UCA's! I am looking to pair those with the 5100's on my truck. Do the ball joints come greased?
How much are you trying to lift the front in total? 1.5" from the bilstein, 1" from ORP springs and 2" from RL tophat? 4.5" is going to be too much. You will have some ugly CV angles and suspension geometry with that I believe. Also, the 5100 rears only allow for 0-1" of lift. So with your ORP spring and a 2" spacer you'll be at 3".
I am trying to get 3.5" total, just trying to get the right configuration to get me there. The ORP makes this more confusing than it should be lol
I am not sure how you can squeak out another .5" of lift in the front without making the ride quality decrease. The Bilstein's on setting 5 and ORP will net 3" of lift. You may need a top hat spacer to get to 3.5" but that's where your ride quality will suffer most id think.
I wouldn't split hairs over .5" If setting 5 and the ORP spring gets me to 3". The next question is for the rear, what would the correct set up be?
You can probably find a .5" spacer for the rear to retain a bit of rake if you'd like. I have an ORP truck and will set my bilsteins to setting 5 as it seems to be perfectly level at that point. If its too high ill either put a .5" spacer in the rear or drop the front struts to setting #4.
I have the same readylift uppers and tophat spacer but I went with bilstein 6112s on 5th clip setting with icon 1.5" rear coil springs and I went with bilstein 5100s bc the 5160s have been on back order and I'm too impatient...I got almost exactly 3.5 up front and 1.5 out back...
they do not come greased. will have to use a Grease gun once installed to fill the boots. they were $499 shipped. very beefy
No, the ORP lift is achieved from the larger springs. So if you use those and just swap bilsteins you still consider it.
