yeah the 5305's are big, i had to really jack my truck up to get them in. And those shocks are alot shorter than the bilsteins.

How was the ride? I know you didnt like it, but was it rough or ?

Well good thing you did'nt give up Alex. You tried a lot of combos though:). Yeah I'm seeling my BT SP's and my Trailing arm brackets. If your at 32'' in the rear? With 20's? I'd be happy.
I got my sensatrac air shox back in and rear-end all adjusted and I'm @ 33' with 20psi in the shox(which is fine). Your set-up in front is a lot lower than me because you have spindles and keys, where I have just drop arms. So I see why you would want the rear lower than 32''

One thing I have noticed is that my front really wants to sit at 30.25". I've turned the keys to 30.75 and 31" and each time it's dropped back down to 30.25" or lower. When I start tweaking the front I'll have to figure out the cause of that.

The Belltech shocks were too soft for my taste. I really prefer the firm ride the bilsteins have.

Regarding your front sitting at 30.25", I've heard that the cause of this might be your torsion bar. I was told this because my Hoe does the same, I try cranking it up but eventually it sits back down. But don't take my word for it, I'm sure an expert soon will chime in soon.

Yeah, I've got a couple ideas. I'll start messing with it shortly.
