I have the non-fx4 Lariat and am planning on putting the Bilstein 5100's shocks on. I'm debating between setting the lift at Bilstein's 1.2 or 1.8" lift for the fronts. I have a two-place snowmobile trailer and measured the sag at 0.75" with one snowmobile inside (total weight ~2,000lbs). I also have a boat, not yet in my possession that weighs significantly more (6,000lbs). I don't know the tongue weights of either, but I am going to assume the boat will be 10% of the gross weight, so 600lb tongue weight. Does anyone know how much my rear-end will compress at that weight or the max (750lb)?
The stock difference between the rear vs front end rake is 3". If I install the 5100's at the 1.2" height, I'll have 1.8" in the rear to spare. If I install 5100s at 1.8", I have 1.2" to spare. Pretty sure the boat will squat the back end lower then the front of truck even if I set the 5100s at 1.2", but was hoping someone had some actual squat measurements at either 600 or 750lbs.
