Bilstein 5100's Installed
Sound like a great shock! I need new shocks on my truck, as well as new tires. I had planned on 36" or 37" tires, with coilovers when these tires were shot, but the guy I sold it to (and bought it back from) ignored the alignment and ruined these tires. I figured I could get the Bilstein leveling shock and set them up higher, then get my taller tires after all (I have a Pro Comp lift that uses stock length shocks). I can always buy my coilovers down the road. Any pictures?

About 1 hr. or so. It took my dealer 1hr 20 minutes to remove my 2'' Autosprings and install my Bilstein 2'' 5100s.

where the coil rests is completely different than yours, it is upside down. your picture saved me a lot of money. i was going to pay to have it taken apart. they put it back together wrong, they get to pay it.......

Guys please explain...My '04 FX4 currently has the leveling kit up front. I am due for new shocks and am looking for the best route to go. Are guys saying the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks are the best way to go and get rid of the leveling block up front? What is the best replance shock if you keep the block? Bilstein 5100's set to stock? Can someone please give me the best setup for ride quality to go with?
Thanks a ton!
