Bilstein 5100 Series Adj. shock???

Is anyone running these? The Bilstein web site says it can be set to 2" in the front on an 04 F150 4x4. Just wanted to know if anyone is using it and would it be a better buy than a coil spacer? Also what AAL woul dI need to buy to level it out in the rear? I already have a 6" Procomp and im wanting to run a S.S. Irok radial 35x14.5-17 so I need this extra 2"-2 1/2" of lift. Let me hear your opinions!

Alot of people run the bilsteins and love them. Autospring has a AAL that ive seen used with no complaints.

He probably doesn't need 2-2.5 but you cant turn completely without rubbing with a 14.50 width tire. It will rub at full lock.

Yeah it will rub full turn and thats with no compression. If im out on my hunting property with those it wont be pretty. Plus if you look at my truck it looks to squatty for me I want a taller stance. For my next truck I want a F250 but I looked at some 08 F150 Screw Lond beds today with a P.Comp 6" and 35x12.5-20 P.C. A/T's and I almost fell out when I saw the dealer was charging an extra $12,995 for the lift tire and wheel Pkg!!! So many suckers out there that see a pretty truck and thnk," WOW look at those blingin dubs and massive mud tires. That must be a good deal!" I would love to jump out of a bush and B!t$# slap whoever buys those! Sorry anyway, I just want it taller for look and for rubbing.
