Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

Are these the 5100s to order for a level kit. Just need to make sure before ordering

Yes, those are the correct 5100's. I used them on mine and they ride great!

just replaced my rears. Think the originals were a little shot!

Wow yep I'd say those are shot. My Autoride shocks didn't even look that bad but were leaking and the compressor was burnt out.

Ok, my head is kinda spinning after reading through this whole thread. I have a 08 LT Hoe (non autoride) and I am looking to put some 275/60/20 Duratracs on it. Will I be able to do so with just a 2/1 level or will I also need to add the Bilstein shocks? I plan on leaving on the boards (short wife) and running the stock 20 inch rims (may add spacers).

Thanks!

Yes that will work just fine

2.5" up front, 1'' in the rear with 5100's on all 4 corners and z71 springs on the rear...33'' Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's with no rubbing

I'm searching for tires now to go with my lift. I wanted to keep my 20" wheels, but i definitely want to see more sidewall. Will I need Spacers with 34" tires? 33's seem to fit nice with no extra hardware.

I've got the same amount of lift, a 34 may be stuffed in there, as long as you keep the tire on the skinner side possibly a 275/65r20. There was alot of trimming involved to fit a 305/55r20 in there with 3"

I've got a 2.5" TGC and 305/55 Falkens. A few hammer blows to the rear of the front fender well and some plastic trimming was all it took. I've got >1" of clearance all the way around. Only rubs the sway bar when at full lock.

Not sure if you mean suspension spacers or wheel spacers.

I wouldn't do wheel spacers on anything. It will increase the radius of the sweep that your tire takes from lock to lock. Adding spacers will actually DECREASE the clearance.

Suspension spacers are the first step to extra tire clearance for bigger tires. Get a 2"-2.5" depending on your desired tire size.
