The coil springs have been used for about 200,000 miles.

I feel tired and weak.
Is Bilstein 5100 24-185783 recommended as a choice?

Desired lift is 1.5-2inch.

These are the ones I used when my Tahoe was leveled it says for a Silverado but they work on the rears from 99-18 or higher

thank you! Can this be used with a z71 coil spring without a spacer?

Does this truck have auto rear level?

If so you do not need any kind of rear lift as when you lift the front via a torsion bar lift keys it wil automatically raise the rear of the vehicle. This will gain you between 1 and 1.5 inches of overall lift. Only shocks are needed.

first one has the most travel.. third one only has .06" more length..
My pick would be #1 (24-185783) unless #3 has some other advantage..

@Sawa did you end up going with the 5100s in the rear? If so could you share the part no?
