Alright, my question that I hope someone can help with is. Is it possible, safely(no extra wear on parts, not gonna break frequently etc.) to add the bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks (1.75) to a RWD(2WD) tahoe that already has the 2.5 CCM spacer on it. The reason being is I'm looking to have a little more height in the front. i have an inch coil spacer from the CCM kit in the back and i think the extra 1.75 in the front will achieve the look that i want. the alternative answer is the FABTech 4 inch however its about $500 more for the same results. Any feedback will help. thanks. the alternative lift is below.

Too much lift, your angles will be crazy in the front suspension and you'll be replacing parts like crazy

Max you can go up front is 2.5" however you want to achieve it with 5100 and spacer. Anything over 2.5" you need diff drop. Anything over 2" rear you need brake line brackets. Could keep what level you have an get a 1.5" body lift

being a 2wd will getting the correct UCAs correct the angles that'll be all in whack?

The 2wd or 4wd doesn't make a difference on lift. It's the geometry of the UCAs and LCAs for anything over 2.5". Cheapest good quality uppers is rcx
