Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

I received half of my bilstein order (rear shocks) that I placed on Jan 5, 2021, should I wait to install them when I receive the front struts in 2 weeks? Will it be an issue to have OEM in the front & bilstein in the rear?

It will look pretty wonky, having the rear sitting two inches higher, and could inspire slightly weird handling, goofy collision alerts/radar cruise and reduced headlight vision.

FWIW, I think the best thing you can do right now is find a proper, level place to measure, mark it off a few of the tires with chalk or a landmark, pull all the weight out of your truck, fill the tank and measure it from ground to fender all four corners, than center of wheel hub to fenders or just the latter. Install, drive a few to 50 miles and report your new measurements.

I am also trying to convince management here to sponsor a lift sticky thread...
