Thoughts on new lift installed yesterday

[Patriot17763]

So as I posted before i lifted my hoe yesterday. Z71 springs and 2" spacers and amazon keys. Now the front I'm good I think. A little harsher ride, but that's expected. The rear though I'm getting a banging when I go over bumps when going 5-20mph. My guess is I need longer shocks. What do you all think? The spacers haven't moved and everything is put back the way it should be it's like it's over extending and then slamming down.

Back looks to high. Should take that spacer out to make it sit level anyways

Those wheels looks great!!!

It's only an inch higher and the springs are new and will settle. The springs themselves aren't enough by themselves to lift it for the tires.

Yes I love these wheels.

What size tires? I fit 33x12 under my 2002 tahoe and I'm lowered about 2" lol. 26x10 rims with 305/30/26 which is 33x12

Rim size to tire size changes where the wheels will rub with your 26's I know because mine rub. Mine only rub for a split second when I first start turning. After my alignment we will see if it changes at all

Sounds like the shocks are either loose or you are bottoming them out.

I'm thinking loose also after driving it around a little more.

I just ordered all new Bilsteins and will have them Monday. Should help offset everything.

The 5100s do have a slight float feeling to them but they ride extremely well. I haven't ran the 4600s personally but I have heard they are good if you drive more aggressively and need a stiffer suspension.

what is the part number for the 5100 on rear? I seem to be finding multiple numbers and want to make sure I got the right ones when I put on my spacers in the rear.

Mine isn't lifted (yet) but I LOVE the 5100s, they are stiff, but the truck feels planted more than it ever has. Comfortable on highway at speed, and not harsh.
