Raising rear end with just Bilstein 5100

I have a 2 inch leveling kit on th front and it seems to be just a little higher than the rear. It is diffently higher when I tow. Can I just get the Bilstein 5100 and raise the back to fix this? Thanks

No because the rear shocks have nothing to do with height and are just for dampening whereas the front is a coilover where the coil sits on the shock and by adjusting the position of the coil or preload of the coil it alters the height. Look into an add a leaf or block for the rear.

Thanks KansasJoe. Is this cheaper than the front leveling kit?

You can buy lift blocks and new u-bolts pretty cheap, probably less than $50.
