Bilstein Struts w/ Ready Lift 3.5 kit

I was wondering if anyone knew what setting to use on the Bilstein Struts to not use the preload spacer and still get the desired 3.5 inch of lift using the top hat of the ready lift 3.5 sst kit.

Your readylift tophats are 2”, so you need an additional 1.5”. For your suspension, Clip setting #3 is 1.3” lift, and #4 is 1.7”.

I used setting #4 with the Top Hat Spacer. Still have an inch of rake.

Thank for the info. Truck looks really good!!
Did you take before and after measurements? Im thinking of doing clip 5. Which would get about 3.7 lift in front. Only .5 inch more then setting 4. So would probably get me 1/2 inch rack. If my sit like yours. But then again. Might just do setting 4 and let it settle and measure it out. And go from there.

I posted them somewhere in my thread.... been a few years, I have 20K+ miles on the setup. I think #5 looks nose high with the lines of the truck as the hood line is above the bed line. Also remember #5 adds a bit more preload and will make everything a touch firmer. I'll a try to find the measurements and repost if i so in a few days
