leveling

I want to use the Bilstein 5100s to level my 06 Screw. Do I have to replace the front and rear shocks?

Not sure.

Your best bet would be to search "Bilstein 5100" and see what you can find.

4WheelParts ONLINE store currently has the cheapest. Or shockwarehouse, although they screwed me over so I don't care much for them right now.

Nobody answered his original question.
You do not HAVE to get new front and rear shocks, you can just buy the fronts if you want. However I would recommend buying a full set to have matching shocks all the way around, otherwise the rear will feel soft and bouncy.
I bought mine here.

You are right Brian. Maybe Dog and I misread his post. It looked like Smitty was asking if he had to replace his shocks to go to 5100's. Maybe he meant, can I just replace the front shocks.. I dunno

hey smitty39 you can just replace the fronts and run stock rears, a lot of people dont like to mismatch stuff so they'll say you cant or dont want to but it'll work fine. the stock shocks are definately softer than the Bilsteins but wont hurt the truck. i'v got 2 weeks before my unit gets back to the states, and im installing the 5100 front shocks with Monroe load adjusting rear shocks for payload support. the monroes are nice they'v got special valving and their on coil over. if you havent bought the bilsteins yet they have them on www.Koreperformance.com front pair for 240.00 plus shipping

Does anybody know if the 5100s are available for the 09/10? I have looked at a few places online and have not seen an application for these years. thanks
