Question Bilstein 5100s w/ 6" lift question

Hey guys, I've slowly been assembling everything that I need/want for my 6" lift. I've got my new tires sitting in our warehouse (35x12.50 17 Cooper Discoverer STTs), Bilstein 5100s for front and rear (the ones for trucks w/ 4-6" of lift. They're from Topgun Customz), A set of 17x9 Fuel throttle wheels (Matte black w/ Machined accents), and I'll be ordering the 6" Rough Country lift in about 2 weeks. So now for the question. Here's a link to the struts that I bought:

With these struts, will I need to use the strut spacer that comes with the lift kit? I apologize if this is a dumb question.

No, you won't need the RCX spacer with those coilovers.

Ok awesome. Thanks for the help Wandell. I wasn't entirely sure. For some reason I thought the coilovers would need to be the adjustable ones for me to not have to use the spacer. I'm pleasantly surprised that I was wrong haha.

I may be wrong, but I think with those coilovers they have the option to run at 4" or 6" lift. Make sure they are set to 6" when you install.

Sounds like the truck is going to look good. Can't wait to see it!

I pulled em out of the box and looked at 'em and they aren't adjustable. That's why i was unsure about whether or not I'd need to use the spacer. Thanks man! Can't wait to get it done and post some pics! I've been wanting a lifted truck since I was 15 (I'm now 20)! And it feels even better since I'll have paid for it all by myself since I work full time. Hopefully one more paycheck after tomorrow and I'll have the money to order it. After this, no more mods for a while. Just got word I'll be closing on purchasing my first house in the middle of June so all my money will be going towards making it nice and homey haha.
