Rebel with Bilstein 5100 Level

[Nsm42]

Awesome!! Thank you, for the advice. I ordered a pair of 5100s - coming in next weekend. My setup is going to be as follows:

1) ReadyLift 3.5" (took out the preloaded spacer) - 2" rear spacer and 1.5" Tophat spacer still on, with upper control arms.
2) 35" BFG KO2s - with 20x10 -18 offset Maverick Fuel wheels
3) stock suspension/springs - pending the only change will be the Bilstein 5100s up front

That’ll be a good setup, hopefully little if any trimming necessary. You found 5100s in stock?

Yeah, there won't be any trimming, as I had the 2" preloaded spacer in - and with those extra 2" there were no trimming with 35s.

there's a local shop where I am, that had contacted their supplier - and I'll be getting one in by November 10th - few weeks, but not too long.

Just in case anyone missed it in the 5100 thread in the suspension section, I installed Bilstein 5100s on the front of my Rebel last week

The 5100 shocks come with spring seat adapters for the non rebel spring seats to properly mount on the circlips on the 5100s. The OEM Rebel shocks already use circlips. Throw the Bilstein adapters in the trash. They aren't needed on a Rebel.

I set mine to position 5 and am pretty close to perfectly leveled, even with 300# of sand in the bed.

How much lift did setting #5 get you up front (in inches)?

I didn't measure. I'd guess I got slightly less than 2".
