Leveling kit question

05 CC 4wd

My set up as follows (parts not installed yet)

Adjustable 5100’s
2” strut spacer
08+ coil springs
RC UCA’s
PRG end links

I’m not sure if bottom or middle setting on the struts will be better.

So for the rear I purchased 5125 Bilstein so should I run a 1.5” or 2” rear “tapered block”?
What type of metal “material” block should I get? (Aluminum etc)

The 5125’s I bought from someone else but they are new, stated he believe they were for a 2-3” application.>> will these work? (The 5125’s made for a 2-3” lift application?

Bilstein wont warranty those front shocks if used with a spacer. It's recommended you run them on the bottom setting if you run a spacer. Second setting with a 2" spacer might be too much for those RC uppers. I ran second setting with 2" spacer on PRG uppers and it was solid. But YMMV.

IMO do a 1.5 block max with that setup, you'll end up asz high otherwise, but thats aesthetics and so its subjective. Those 5125's might act as a bump stop which means you'll blow them out eventually, since they are too long (i mean its .5", idk how much room they have before they actually run out of bump travel. If they run out of bump travel before you hit the actual bump stops then you have issues).

Any solid aluminum block is fine. Cast is fine but for the price you might as well just stick with aluminum.

Your Mileage May Vary. (Your results may vary)

Hmmm you know I'm not sure. 5100's are good for up to 1.5"? You might wanna double check.
