Hey guys I had my 5100 Bilstein struts installed Sunday and forgot to measure from hub to fender so I could compare how much lift I have over stock. Could someone let me know what their measurement is with the struts installed so I can compare it to what I have.
Thanks

 

Which height did you have the bilsteins installed at? 0-1-2"? I'll measure mine when I'm done work if no one has posted.

 

Mine are exactly the same as before. Seeing as how you can set them in 4 different heights from stock to 2.25", it strikes me that you need to know what the shop set them at.

 

I had the shop set them at the highest height I believe. I just want to make sure by getting measurement info from someone here. Thanks for your effort in advance.

batcus what rim tire combo you running. I plan on getting Cooper ST MAXX 295 70 18 soon just want to know if i can get the same look you have....

 

I'm running 295/65/20 toyo open country at2 extremes. Love the look of them. Now I haven't measured my truck yet. Do you have any pictures of your truck? Side profile with the bilsteins installed?

 

Baticus sorry it took so long....

 

I believe with my bilsteins at the top level I'm at 39 3/4" on 295/65/18. A full 2.5" lift/level over stock.

 

My 5100's blew out on me, and I do not go off road. I replaced with Rancho quick lifts and I am happy with them.

 

KC8FLB you blew up 5100 struts that is crazy I hope mine hold up. I do go off road some but I use my truck mostly highway driving. I hope mine hold up.....

 

I beat the heck out of mine hi speed off roading and 0 problems so far

 

Going by your picture it looks like it sits about the same as mine.

I recently installed the rear 5100's as well. I'm really liking them. Have had them off-road as well, and some washboardy gravel. No complaints.

Lariat, you were the driving force behind getting them in the first place.

 

Thank you! Glad you like them. If anyone is going to have them fail it's going to be me, I really put all my stuff to the test. I feel bad for my truck. But just like my 02 before this one, it handles everything I throw at it. Built Ford Tough!!

 

They are definately built to run that's for sure. I've been a bit easier the 06 than I was on my 00. Not as much rough off road stuff. Still take it down the majority of the trails though.

 

Can't blame you, nice truck like yours would make my guts turn just taking it off road... I get the same feeling with my truck, I just have too much fun doing it. Hey they are trucks right?
