4x4's..let's see your Bilstein 5100 pics (before and after)

I'd love to see your pics, preferably with no blocks/lift on the rear axle. I just want to see what this shock/strut setup does on it's own with the built in 2" front end lift.

It would be nice to see a mixed bag of wheels/tires, sizes, stock, etc as well.

TTMFT!

Nobody has a 4x4 with just Bilstein 5100's on their 4x4?

Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing any pics on this site with precisely that setup..hmmm.

At least you replied, and I thank you for that, sir!

TTT!

I've seen a couple of pics of trucks with 5100's and some appear to be higher at the front. Now I find myself looking at blocks for the rear, so the truck maintains a small rake.


Anybody?

I have the setup your looking for with the 5100's in the front and no rear lift on a 4x4.

I have mine set at stock currently, but I'm getting a set of BFG AT 305's put on the stock wheels this coming Friday or Saturday and I will have to change the setting to 2".

I will take plenty of before and after pics for you and post them.

I have all my galleries linked in my sig... I may not have what you want though Im lifted with 5100's for more lift not to level it out. Im hoping to get my kings in on christmas day to replace the 5100's though. My great job lets me work the day before and after christmas so im hoping to snag an hour or two for install i have zero complaints about the bilstein 5100's though!

Pat; I like the stance. It looks like the front is still a bit lower than the back. That's exactly what I want. I was looking into getting a 1" lift for the back to maintain a small rake, but after seeing your truck perhaps I won't need it.

That helps as well Nemisus. You've maintained some rake as well. Your truck looks great!

I just realized that Pat posted pics of UofK's truck; unless you guys both have the same trucks with pics taken at the exact same locations
