Question:
I have a mostly stock f150 4×4 with a two inch spacer
block – front end leveling kit installed and have custom 18″ wheels with
33″ toyo at tires. It bangs going over ruts etc as the wheels / tires are
heavier and larger than stock. I would like to purchase Bilstein C298-h0
front struts and Bilstein c299-10 rear shocks to replace stock set-up and
the 2″ aluminum spacers I currently have installed to level truck and
allow for the front end lift necessary to fit the 33″ tires. I assume
this will improve ride over what is installed now? Can you quote a price
and comment on what I am proposing? Thank-you
Answer:
The Bilsteins would be the way to go to lift the truck safely. Better than a spacer.
The Bilsteins will also give you much better dampening and control of the larger tire / wheels.

The Bilsteins allow you to lift the front end around 2 inches from stock.
