I want to upgrade my suspension to the bilstein 6112/5160 with Icon 1.5" dual rate springs for the rear. My truck is a 2019 Laramie 1500 without the off road package. If I have the icon 1.5" springs in the rear what setting do I need to set the coil over springs in the front to keep it leveled?

At least on my truck, a 1.5" increase in height on the front leveled it out. I have 3.5" front, 2" rear and she is level.

I have a 21 Laramie w/o off road package and went clip 7 and off road rear springs (add about a inch). I have about 3/4" of rake which worked out well for me since I tow a boat a lot. So you probably will need to go clip 8 to be level.

I have the Fox 2.5's which can get close to 3 inches. That's just a touch higher than your 6112's. I still had rake. Then I added rear springs that are supposed to be the same as stock ORG length but up to 1.5 inches more according to the manufacturer. I was hoping I would get none but I think it did give me a touch. So, I would go the whole 2.6 inches on your fronts.

I didn’t lol. Found out after they were installed and haven’t gotten around to ordering Dang kids and all their activities. I love the springs but they do clack going over any bumps.
