I went with the middle setting so thats like 1.25. The 1.75 was ok if you never pull a trailer. It doesn't take much to get nose high on 1.75. 2.25 would have to have a rear block to not look nose high
I just had the 5100's installed to level the truck and installed at the highest (leveling) setting at 2.25" suggested by Bilstein. Here is the final result. I think the front is a little too high for my liking and I am going to reinstall at the 1.5" setting (second highest) and hopefully it gives a little rake from front to back. The picture might not give justice but the front seems higher than the rear., and the front fender is about 1/8 higher than the rear fender. But when I measure from cab to concrete from just behind the front wheel to just in front of the rear tire I am about 3/4 inches lower in the front. But again the front wheel wheel looks higher, giving it an illusion that the front is higher than the back (which I do not want), I think you can really see it in the third picture below. Thoughts? I just installed these BFG KO2 275 65 R20's
4 Wheel Parts in West Houston. Great shop, prices are not the best but i've gone with them in the past and they are professional and stick to the schedule they say of when it will be done. I'm taking it back this Friday to adjust the front Bilsteins from the 2.25 INCH setting to the 1.5 INCH setting. Hoping to get a little more forward stance, a little more rake and be able to fit into my garage.

Looking forward to how it turns out and if you have any rubbing. My year Bilstein's include a +1.75" option so I went with that. Put the front too high compared to the rear so I swapped out the rear block for a 2.5" block to put back in a bit of rake.
Ideally, I'd probably like to switch to the +1.5" setting and maybe go back to the stock block but worried that the 34's wouldn't clear.
