I installed the Bilstein 5100 Preload Adjustable shocks on my truck on all four corners.

My initial impressions are that they make one hell of a difference on the road. Truck rides just as silky smooth, but it feels a bunch more controlled, turns are better and the bed doesn't go ape **** when you hit a bad road.

I haven't got to try them on the dirt, but I'm sure they will great.

Additionally it clears my 315/70/17's just fine better than my 4x2 with the AS 2.5" kit.

Installed.

Finished Product....

 

Nice, do you have a leveling kit on? Hows the ride?

 

can you get a pic of the upper control arm with the tire installed?

I'd like to see the clearance

 

double post

 

I'll do that for you, There's plenty of clearance.

 

No leveling kit.
Just the shocks set at the ~2" setting.

 

I like it, I will consider these when its time for shocks.

 

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the set?? Did you do the install yourself or have it done???? Thanks...

 

$400 for all four corners.
I installed the rear (about 45mins total)
The front I didn't because I dont have enough driveway space (none).

 

Looks good...nice option instead of using leveling kit...i too will consider this when its time for shocks

 

I almost hate to tell you but shock warehouse has them for $353.18. Just in case anyone else was wondering... I just got my front Bilsteins in but I am debating whether I can put them in myself... Any ideas?

 

You can you will just need a spring compressor.

 

can someone post up a good set of instructions?

 

Why is there a RCD sticker on there?
