Just picked up the Bilstein 5100 leveling kit Front shocks and the Bilstein 1" lift rear springs and the 5100 Rear shocks. I've not ran the VIN but i'm told the Built To Serve edition trucks have the ORG springs and shocks already installed so I was warned not to go over clip 5 on the front struts. Anyone out there have any experience with this? Thank You.

Yes, don't go over clip 5, unless you change UCAs. And the rear lift springs won't do anything for you, because you already have 1" rear lift springs with the off road group suspension
Thanks for the quick reply, Seems to be some sourcery going on for answers on a gentle lift to clear just a bit bigger tires. Fun truck though.

Clip 5 on ORP trucks is only 1.7", so not 3"
Rounded is 3. Bilstein still won't take care of you if you go over clip 5 with ORP springs even if you have after market uca's.
This kit came with springs so setting 8 is 2"

You sure you got 5100’s and not 6112’s?
5100’s only have 7 positions and no springs.
The 6112’s have 8 positions and come with springs as a kit.
Yes i picked up the 6112, They had a victoria Day special on at Bilstein canada so it was 15% off which seemed decent. The clip in 8 gives it 2"over the stock org. Just curious if i bother chucking some UCA when its all apart
It is possible you may get full travel without them but the only way guarantee full travel is to get aftermarket UCA's.
