Bilstein 5100's out yet?

Hey guys,

Anyone know when Bilstein is going to introduce their front adjustable 5100's for our 09-10's?

One of these days, I'm going to call them and get an ETA on these. I will not put a leveling kit on my truck. I only want the leveling shocks, so my truck will have to wait...

Can you purchase these direct or do you have to go through a dealer? I'm assuming both front and rears will be ready in March?

5100's

Can you get a true 2.5" of front lift from these?

Are these strictly for a 4x4 or will they level out a 4x2?

I see that these shocks are longer than a normal shock but it appears that the suspension geometry is the same as running a quality spacer kit that does not limit the coil travel but sits above the shock (i.e a 2.5" AS kit)

"allowing height adjustments from 0" to 2.5", depending on the application"

On the Toyotas you can get 2.5", on the Fords it's only 2".
