Keys + Spacers + Bilsteins = Lift with good ride?

[tino ramirez]

I just put some Bilstein 5100s on the front and back (PN 24-186643 & 24-187237). Would I be good doing a 2 in front and 1 in back?

Yup, looks like the listing for those claims to work fine with a 2/1 lift.

I just did 3" front spindles and a rear 2" spacer in my z71 and added the Bilsteins all around. At first I didn't see the difference but driving it yesterday after giving them a little time to break in - WOW they ride great.

I also added rear sway bar extenders since I was going up 2" in the back - you may want to think about getting these too.

What brand spindles are you guys using?

I got mine from Spindle Source on eBay - 3" spindles. I was a little worried because they were only $230 but after the install - no complaints. By comparison. The CST 4" spindles are $999. Well that was the price I got quater at 4wheel parts
