5100's are on
 
Finally got the 5100s on the front, got refunded for rears becasue they were on backorder...was hoping they would overcompensate for the rake and I could put an add-a-leaf in the rear for a little extra lift but they actually leveled it exactly, front and rear is at 40 3/4"s...handling is excellent, even better than I was hoping...if someone can tell me how I will put up a few pictures, dont have any great ones yet but I do have a few.....so far the truck has weatherguard bugsheild, egr ventshades, 5% tint, weathergaurd floor mats, bilstein leveling shocks, 305/65/18 bfg allterrains, line-x, and custom toolbox/dogbox

How hard was the install?
you can get an account on photobucket to do the pics....pretty easy

I'm ordering these as soon as the rears are also available. Can't wait to see the pics and hear how the install went. :drool:

Deerhunter, what notch (spring seat) position do you have the shocks set on in these pics? If I understand correctly, there is 3 or 4 different positions you can set them at for different front end lifts.

SoTxFx4 Mar 21, 2010 08:27 PM

That's one heck of a tool box you have there! Truck looks great...

deerhunter0743 Mar 21, 2010 09:09 PM

Thanks for posting the pics mean machine, how did you do it btw?...and as for the settings they are set to the max lift which I believe is 2"s...as for the install sorry but I cant be of much help, I had a shop install them becasue I am away from home in school at Auburn and dont really have any thingI needed to do it myself....the shop however said there wasnt much to it...thanks for the compliments

How is the ride? Smoother? Quieter? How about handling pot holes and washboard?

Looks fantastic by the way!

deerhunter0743 Mar 21, 2010 11:23 PM

The ride is excellent, I dont know that it is any smoother but the cornering and handling are amazing, I'm taking turns at 75 that before were scary at 65 before

I've actually been looking at this option for leveling my 09 f150. Your truck looks great.

It wasnt quite clear above. Do you have anything done to the back?

deerhunter0743 Mar 22, 2010 09:57 AM

thanks, and no sorry if it wasnt clear, I have not done anything to the rear, it is stock 4x4 height...I was hoping the fron would come out higher than the rear with the new shocks but it did not so I left the rear as is, in fact it is perfectly level with new shocks which I guess I cant complain

Power Kid Mar 22, 2010 10:33 AM

First off, great truck! Really like it.

But help me out. Do you ever tow/load anything? Cause first 200lbs you put on and your nose is up in the air? To me thats far worse than the factory rake. OR are you putting on rear air bags or something else to keep it level.
