Movin on to keys and spacers. Help with 5100's

[Need4Speed]

I just got my interior decked out along with tint, TBS and CAI today in my 2003 Yukon and movin on to 2.5" keys and 2" spacers in the rear.
I already have my leveling kit and front 5100s in my ebay cart, however I remember reading on here somewhere that the rear Billsteins are for a dodge or somethin?? CAN ANYONE CONFIRM OR DENY thanx

oh and one more thing,
I want to get the XD Monsters in Bronze 18x9, and I am trying to decide weather to run 295/65/18s or 305/55/18s and what offset. Any ideas on that one too would help me out a ton.

Yes you need dodge rear shocks for the 2" rear lift. Check with shockwarehouse.com because I got all 4 shipped for $300

Front - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-C153-H0 (Lifted Chevy shock)

Rear - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-6682-H8 (Dodge Ram shock)

Also read my thread and it details all the info you need.

I would use the 295/65R18 because its a 33x11.5 with an offset of +12 or minimum +0 if you want it to stick out

thanks a bunch got it all ordered off shock warehouse for $334 which saved me like 70 buck from the ones I was gonna buy. I'll make sure to post up some picks when I'm sittin high.

Ive got the 5100s that bilstein recommended on there website which is part number 24-187237 (old part number F4-BE5-F265-H0) right now im at stock height. On the web they say good to one inch of lift, has anyone run these and do you think they would be okay at 2" of lift?

You will prob be fine but don't do major off-road stuff that will use max travel of the suspension because then it will be limited by the shock travel. If you are going to drive down the highway then Im sure it will be fine. You could always sell them on here and pick up the longer ones.

This apply to the NBS Hoes? Z-71?

I'm pretty sure all this information apply's to all nbs tahoe models, but I'm not positive if it apply's to z71's.

I think I've changed my mind on running the 18x9 XDs. I want to have a wide
33 inch tire like a 295 or a 305 so I was thinking on switching to the 20x11 rim.
I don't want to trim at all but idk if either of those will clear with keys and 2 inch spacers and billsteins in all 4's

Just got my supreme suspension kit today from ebay and they sent these spacers that were made of plastic.. they call it delrin, but I called and they made sure to send me the machined billet spacers like I had ordered.
Just waitin on shockwarehouse with my Billsteins

Yes it applies to all Z71 and other models except the autoride trucks which it still bolts on but you need to remove the air compressor for the shocks.

I would keep the 18x9 because a 295 to 305 will fit just fine unless you want a really wide rim and stretched tire. Plus the wider you go the more likely you are to rub. The prob with a 11" rim width is the offset which causes them to stick way out and then turn into the bumper, where as stock rims turn inside the bumper and fender.

Alright so just dropped the yukon off at a buddies shop to throw on keys, spacers, and billsteins.

Back to the question on offset, I've decided to go with the KMC XD Monsters 18x9 and they offer 3 different offsets: -12, +18, +35.
Which one would be best in order to stick out a little bit but still not rub.

Tires btw are gonna be 285/??/18's. Don't know for sure what the numbers are for a 33 inch tire

 

[01Konvict]

Monsters to be flush or a lil beyond by .5" need to be +18. Tire size at 285 would be 65R18
