All,
With Bilsteins set to setting #3 (0.9") and ORG springs in the rear, the stance should be close to a truck with the factory ORG package, correct?

Thanks
Ryan

I could be wrong on this so don’t take my word 100% but I think the ORP gives 1” by itself

You are correct. My truck doesn't have the ORP, but I installed the ORP rear springs and Bilsteins at setting #5. Gonna lower it to setting #3, which will hopefully end up having the stance as an ORP equipped truck.

Personally, I'd go with #4 for that little bit of extra in the front. Would still have a slight rake.

Did you ever get this done? My truck goes in next week I was thinking about doing the same thing. Should give you 2” total I think. 1” for the springs and 1” for setting 3

Can you post some pictures? How’s the ride? Did you do ORP springs front also or just rear?
Thanks

I don't have any pics and it was dark when I saw your message. The front springs are the factory non ORP springs that came with my truck, but the rears are the ORP springs. The front Bilsteins are set at #3 and the truck pretty much has the stance of a factory ORP or BLT serve truck.

Do you have any pics of your truck with the Bilsteins in setting 3 and ORG springs in the rear?

I am considering the same (1") lift - but I am considering using the Bilstein 5100 in the rear which I believe gives 0-1" lift in the rear.

Did you use Bilsteins in the rear as well or just the ORG springs??

Thanks!

FYI, Rear shocks do not add lift. When it says 0-1" of lift. It's giving a spec that they are long enough to work with factory to 1" of increase lift. You will have to change the rear springs or use a spring spacer if you want that extra 1".

Thanks for the response - I am thinking I might use the factory ORG springs front and rear in combination with the 5100s.
