Please tell us why you don't like adjustable shocks?? I have the Bilstein 5100's and I think it's one of the best mods you can do, especially if your running larger tires. They raise your front and improve the ride. How cool is that?

I think you are the first person in the history of the universe that doesn't like Bilstiens.

I'm having trouble understanding some of your grammer but if you do your research you'll find the bilstein shock is a great setup for a pickup truck with any offroad time or trailered toys. It's a bit firmer ride in that the tires feel more 'planted' which also reduces body lean.

I've heard good things about the rancho quicklift kit which is basically the same idea as the method in which the bilsteins level the front

How much lift? If I was to put these on my stock 2wd in the front how much would it lift? I'm looking for maybe 1" at the most. Right now I'm 2wd front with 4x4 OEM blocks in the back. Needless to say I have a bit of rake. Nothing out of control though.

Don't mean to hijack at all. I am sorry.

Whant? I've never seen that sort of spelling.

Bilsteins have a 0, 1" or 2" lift setting.

You can't lift the rear with a set of shocks. Your options out the back for minimal lift are a bigger block, add a leaf, or lift shackles. Most shocks will be just fine in the situation up to 2" of lift.
