info 3/1 lift ?

I have done my share of research and i'm interested in lifting my 2wd a little and throwing on some bf goodwrench 33s.

Is the new bilstein 5100 adjustable shock a true 2inch lift? and can it be run with the daystar or other spacers for additional lift?

Anyone have pics of the Doetsch 3/1 kit installed ?

Ps. im new to the forums so hello.

I have info on the Bilstiens. They are adjustable to 1" or 2" for the front, the rears don't do any lifting but can be used with up to 1" of lift (like from a AAL). It is not a true lift. These will still create the ackward angles on the suspension creating added stress on the ball joints. Also, you can not use these as well as any of the spacers (Daystar, Auto Spring, Top Gun, etc).

The doetsch kit looks like it is just a big spacer and an AAL or shakle lift for the rear.

P.S. Welcome to the forum.

Its a shackle.

But, if you were going to do that why wouldn't you just buy the Skyjacker 3" and not worry about rubbing your coilovers with the UCA?
