    I have 5100 on the 2.75 setting in the front of my 2013 Limited. The back I have a 1.5 spacer? Not digging it completely. It is not bad. I put Bilsteins in the back so the max i can lift it is 2 inches.

    Anybody have a 2.0 inch Spacer on theirs that I could see what the rack looks like?

    How much lift did you get at the highest settings? Are you on stock OEM springs?

    If you put extended travel shocks in back, I would lift with springs. They aren't very expensive, and you can get different spring rated based on your typical use.

    FWIW, I am at 2.3/1.5" so your rake would be similar to this with 2.75/2".

    I used Bilstein b12 springs in the rear.

    OME or eibach springs in the back will ride better than a large spacer. Then you can add trim packers or small spacers if you need a little more height.

    I have 1.75" in the front and 1.5 spacer in the back and still have rake, which I don't like. I am looking to go up to 2.75/2' to level it out. Would you know how many inches you are from the ground to the fender, in the front and back? I am currently measuring 36.5" in front and 38" in back.

    Since you're 1.5" higher in the front now, why not take out the 1.5" spacer in the back? That should get you level.

    I'd like to be level but still have a bit more clearance in the back.

    I just measured. Front is at 37, and rear is at 38.5 average (38.25 & 38.75). I have 285's, so that adds about 1/2" over the stock tires.

    Are you lifting the rear?

    1.75 will be close to level if you keep the rear at regular height.

    Replacing the springs should provide the best performance.

    I have the heavy load version of those. If you go with the 2.5" rear setting, you'll still have a subtle rake.

    I went with BDS. JBA are supposed to be nice, too.

    Would anyone know if I set the front 2.75 inches, would I need UCA’s? I know for 3 inch lift they recommend it.

    Here’s another option for you. I have 5100s on all 4 corners with ome 885 in front 895 in rear. I also went with element uca.
    I have a little bit of rake still. When I measured on flat ground I was at 38 front and 39 rear.

    I just ordered some Eibach front springs E30-82-071-01-20, 2.75” and the JBA uca.
