I need some 5150's. Don't care about the promo, just trying to find the right ones for my truck. I want new shocks in the rear. 5150 series. I have the Fabtech 6" lift on a 2004 Ford F150 4x4. Any help ?

If I buy the Bilstein 5100's for my stock height 2004 FX4, can I install them myself without having to buy any "special" new tools, and will I need the front end aligned after installation ?

I've got a stock 05 screw 4x4. Looking at getting the Bilstein 5100's. I know the fronts have a setting for 0" and 2" and also 1"? Do the rear shocks lift it at all? Will I need anything other than a spring compressor to install these out of the box? Thanks!

The 5100 fronts can go from 0 - 2" the rears are for 0 - 1". Generally struts require spring compressors. You shouldn't need a spring compressor.

Sledman,
No, they are the correct shocks for a 6" lift so you are fine there. But there isn't a - H0 in those parts, there's a -H5 though (here) Front - http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm?id=15068 and Rear - http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm?id=14996. So I'm not sure why they have -H0 listed...
My reply above was regarding a Fabtech 6" + P.A. 3" lift.
And for some reason or another Bilstein shows the rears are eligible for the buy 3 get 1 free but not the fronts in that part number.
I'm curious on what you are paying for those shocks out the door (including shipping)?
We offer free shipping + 5% discount.
Hope that helps! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The 'H0' 5100 shocks that are available for the 97 - 03 F150s are for a 4" front and 2" rear. The 'H5' 5100's are for a 6" front and 4" rear.
The H0's are eligible for this promotion, whereas only the rears are for the H5's.
I don't understand why Bilstein did it this way. I hope this answers your question.
