Readylift Removing Spacer and Installing Bilstein Shocks

[Tmburner]

I was hoping someone would know or has done this; I ordered Bilstein Adjustable shocks and I want to remove the pre load spacer. Should I go with setting 5 for 1.75 or 6 or 2.25? I don't want to lose height because my tires hit now so losing a little may hurt.

PLEASEEEEEE Anyone out there...... I am installing them tomorrow morning and don want to do it twice. Does anyone know the exact height you get from #5? It says 1.7 but is it actually more?

From other posts, #5 might be level to slightly nose high. #6 most likely nose high...but every truck is a little different.

Thank You, I went with #6 and I am at 44 1/4" at all 4 wheel wells, I also have Air Lift bags in rear. So it worked out and what a difference, that pre load spacer may have caused a few fillings in my teeth to loosen.

Nice! My lift is finally getting installed on the 22nd. I've been torn between going with #4 or #5. I don't mind a bit of rake as level makes me think the hood line is too high. Plus I won't be running helper bags. I'm installing the 5100's up front and 5160's out back along with the RL 3.5 kit w/o preload of course. Still can't decide on tire size yet. Most likely 1 if 3 sizes.. 275/65, 295/60, or 35x11.5. I am keeping my black factory wheels.

I had 35x11.50 and stock wheels for a week and decided to go with Hostile and 12.50. If wife could only see the checkbook lol
