    i’ve been looking around and trying to figure out if i should/need to get spacers if i plan on getting the bilstein 5100 suspension lift kit. planning on doing 2.5 in front and 1.5 in rear to clear 285s. any tips or experience in this would be helpful. thanks

    With that lift height, I think you're better off sourcing lift coils.

    You can still get Bilstein 5100's all around, but I would get a 2.5" lift coil for the front and a 1.5" lift coil for the rear.

    Front, no. Rear, yes.
    Suggestion would be pair the front 5100 with an aftermarket coil to achieve lift, and same with the rear. It’ll ride better than the spacers and provider better functionality.
