Just as a heads up for anyone looking at bilstein shocks on a 2wd truck. If you plan on doing a block like this you can get the rear shocks for a 4wd truck. I believe those came with an almost 2” block from the factory with the bilsteins allowing an inch or an inch and a half lift over that.

I want to put 22x10 -18 offset wheels 33x12.50 tires on my 2wd 2018. Where I stuck is on where to go with lifting it. Can I do the 4.5 spindles or a different route? Do I need to replace the front shocks when lifting?
@truckswithty4814
3 жыл бұрын
You could do spindles, as far as another route what were you thinking like some sort of leveling kit? I wasn’t going to replace the front shocks at all but I figured since they were taking off the struts anyways to remove my leveling kit to install the spindles instead I figured might as well order lift struts.

Having the 3" block in the rear, did that affect the ride with that size block? And also, did you have to add or were recommended to add a carrier bearing spacer to the driveshaft since you went with a 3" block?

Honestly I don’t think so because of you look at the rough country lift that’s almost exactly how they do it with the spacer and spindles… you should be fine the only difference with mine is I used the lift struts instead of the spacers and my angles are fine.

I had the spacers in with a level before and they were fine but I figured if I was going to lift it might as well go with the lift struts and to be honest I love them, the ride is a lot smoother.
