So I just got 5100's for all 4 corners, Wanted to just level truck, it has 160K on it, would probably need new springs up front too, what is recommended ? I have a 05 CC XE 4x2 ? Regular 08+ springs or what ?
Good news for 2WD with 08+ 4x4 Springs
I picked up my 08+ 4x4 springs from forum member giimmelub and had them paired up with my Bilstein 5100's. I don't have experience fiddling with spring compressors, so I paid my friend that runs a shop to assemble them for me. My truck is dirty right now, so I won't have good pictures up until this Saturday.
Stock ground-to-fender height: 35" up front
08 springs with 5100 set to 1 ground-to-fender height: 40" up front
My 33" tires are pretty worn down, so I would be sitting at 40.5" easily if I had decent tread on my tires. I could probably run 1.5" spacer with minor coil bucket contact.
