where is the cheapest place to find bilstien 5100 front adjustable shocks for a 06 f150 4x4

just need front shocks to get the extra 2 inches to level it out dont want spacer

 

Cheapest place I found my Bilsteins was on ebay. I don't have the 5100s, just the stock size cause I have an 03. But I spent a few hours looking at different places and finally ended up there.

Good luck, they are the best shock on the market IMO (but also the most expensive).

 

I'd replace the rears while you're at it, not much more expensive and will be worth your while. Anyway, check here http://store.topguncustomz.com/store...82&i=193574766

I got 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks from topguncustomz (ebay store) for $370 plus $38 shipping (shipping might be free for the US but I'm in Canukistan)...

They're supposed to arrive today!

Based on my (limited) research, Top Gun had the best price (once you include the shipping)...

 

Can the Bilstein 5100 be used to replace the shocks that come wiht the Fabtech lifts? Had a guy offer me a set of the rears (only 800 miles on them) yesterday for basically lunch. If they'll work I would probably want to replace the fronts at the same time, just not sure if they'll work or not. Thanks

PLUS... like... $75 in "brokerage fees" thanks UPS

 

Anyone?

 

No, they would not be long enough.

 

Ok i am definetely going to get the bilstein 5100's, instead of the AS or HBS lifts, but is there any backspacing issues with just getting the shocks?

 

No none at all.

 

so you are telling me i could level the truck with the 5100's and wouldn't need any backspacing even if they i was using 33/12.50R20's?

 

Yes, you can level your truck witht the Bilstien shocks only. As far as bs requirements, a 9 inch wheel with 5 inches of bs is pretty common. Do you have a 4x4 or 4x2?

 

I have a 4x4 reg cab

 

Be sure to do a real good search on E-Bay. I got mine for $320.00 shipped, and they were brand new.

 

So what's a good replacement for the Fabtech shocks when they wear out?
