Bilstein 5100 install...
I just finished installing my 5100's with my 6" procomp lift in my drive way. Took me like 2 hours total, really easy. I went ahead and used the 2" of lift so she sits nice at 8" total front lift. before I had the lift I ran a 2.5" leveling kit and the angles were fine they look fine now as well. Still going to do a AAL in the rear to level her out. I just drove around the block and the ride was noticable smoother and more responsive. But the jury is still out on the "I love them" tag.
Oh and they look damn cool too haha!

I just installed 5100's on my '04. Getting the struts out was easy, but after messing around with the springs and a spring compressor, I decided not to mess with it, and Pep Boys put the new shocks in the struts for me for $20 a piece. Then I reinstalled the struts myself. The ride is firmer than stock, but not harsh - and much less 'mushy'. I will be doing the rears tonight hopefully.
