Bilstein Vs Rough Country

[Southbound_35]

Help appreciated...I have a 2009 tahoe 4wd Flex and I’m running Rough Country 3.5 on 33x12r18 toyo R/Ts with stock struts and rear shocks. I wanted to upgrade to Bilstein 5100s all around..maybe you can shed some knowledge for me..with the front Bilstein adjustables set at stock and the new rear bilstein will I only increase the front nose rake even more or would I need toadjust the front up one notch? As I sit right now I have a very minor rake and I actually don’t mind it.

With the 3.5, how tall are you total?

I want this, love the look but can't take myself out of fitting inside a parking garage.

Not exactly sure but I’ll break out the tape tomorrow and get back to you!

Did you get a measurement today? My question also.... will it fit in the parking garage?

If you will, that would be very helpful to me.

The price for the 3.5RC kit seems pretty fair given the UCAs and parts to make it all right, meant to be.

I am running a 5 inch lift with 35 tires and the top of my rack is 82 inches...

We match! I have the RC 3.5" lift on there too and need new struts and shocks but don't know which to go with. Currently, both are OEM with spacers.

The OP hasn't been on here in over four years.

Love the color man!
As for the bilsteins get the 5100 series stock style ones and keep the spacers I had gotten the 5150 adjustable height ones a couple years back and they rode like shit they were way too stiff I went back to stock Monroe’s and they were too soft eventually I ended up doing coil overs and was finally happy with the ride quality
