More help....2+inch billsteins

Like I said the Rize is in and I am wanting the look like all4ford and hardhittin have. I am looking at the 39.5'' IROKs. From what I can find about yalls trucks with rize and shocks is that you can clear these size tires with a leveling kit and the 2inch billsteins. I just need to know if I can do this with little or minimal trimming and what EXACT shocks I need. I have tryed finding the bilsteins but there are too many to choose from. Thumper you aint getting annoyed yet are ya?

You can't do a leveling kit and 2" bilsteins. It's one or the other, but with the Rize spacer on the bottom I would go with the 2" bilsteins and avoid putting a spacer on the top as well.

Got my bilsteins from topguncustomz, I don't know the part number off hand, but they should be able to let you know.

Ah, I forgot to say. I mean putting the 2 inch billsteins on the back and the leveling kit on the front to try and level it out to clear the 39.5's. And leave the front shocks at the Rize height. Would that work? And if it would what shocks would I need?

The Bilstiens with 2" of lift will only go in the front since they're coill over replacements. If you want 2" of lift in the back you'll need an AAL, a bigger block, or a new leaf pack. If you don't have an AAL already and want to save some money, I would do the 2" Bilsteins in the front and an AAL in the back. I don't think you need to replace the rear shocks if your only lifting it a couple inches, but Thumper can confirm.

So if I got the add a leaf then would I be able to clear the 39.5's with the leveling kit on the front with little or no trimming?

It might work, I think you'll have to do trimming regardless.
