Hey everyone,
I'm ready to get my truck leveled soon for my new wheels and tires next month. I was going to get the autospring spacer, but then I read on here about the bilstein 5100 preload adjustables. I also saw them on a 07 over the weekend and the truck looked great leveled. I have three routes that I was thinking of but don't know what would be best for me:

1. AS 2" w/ bistein 5100 shocks
2. Bilstein 5100 preload adjustables
3. AS 2" w/ stock shocks

As far as options 1 and 2 they are about the same price including alignment. Option 3 would be the cheapest from the rest.

Truck Usage:
I drive my truck on road most of the time(350 miles/week) with the occassional off-road drive to go quading. I am not comfortable hitting trails or mud with my truck with the Pirelli's(waiting for my rims and toyo mt's).

Future Plans:
I plan of lifting my truck 6" with the Fabtech lift sometime later down the road.

Question:
What you prefer or would be your opinion on what would be best for me to level my truck given the info above.

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

You can't combine the adjustable Bilstiens and a leveling kit. The Bilstiens will be the better choice simply because they are a much better shock than the OEM units.

 

Strange, I would of thought adding the 5100's set at 0 with the AS's would be ok. I had planned to do that in a month or so, the AS's have been on for awhile now. Is there something I'm overlooking?

 

I don't think the way the Bilsteins lift the front effect the ride quality, so using the spacer and Bilsteins would not benefit you in any way. I'd go with the Bilsteins and call it a day.

 

I was refering to the HD(yellow/blue) shocks with the spacer, not the adjustables. Does it makes sense to get the adjustables even though I am going to lift it later on down the road? Also, would there be any change in the ride quality with the stocks with just the spacer?

 

If you are gonna lift the truck in the future, I would just add a spacer lift.
