I've put about 3k miles on them and so far well satisfied with them. Either way both are great shock's.

Thanks for the response!
Did you buy your truck new? I remember when my truck was new and unloaded the rear was bouncy and I wished for a softer shock out back. The Bilstein tech said the 5100 were a bit harsher on an empty truck.
I think I have front and rear torsion bars because I corner hard and never have much body lean.
At least once a year I load up heavy and travel cross country and with the stock rake it looks like my truck is lowered even front to back. Im afraid if I set the front 5100 on 2" when im loaded I will need the firestone airbag leveling kit so I wanted the ability to adjust the front down if I need but under normal conditions I want a bit less rake.
What is the difference in which way the rear shock is installed?
Thanks again PawPaw!
