    just ordered the Billies from Down South, those guys are great! Quick response time on my emails and got my order out the door in a couple hours! Many thanks to all for the advice and Marco and Sonny @ Down South! Your loyalties on this site are well deserved!

    Cheers,

    would the 5100s also be good for correcting taco lean?

    UPS man just came

    do you guys use any mounting bushings? Bump stops or anything?

    Cheers,

    Josh

    PS: This is just a stock replacement, but I might go to the +.85" ring to account for the 16 year old spring!

    FYI: This model of Bilstein's (F4-BE5-D558-TO) only has 3 height settings (2.5", 1.25", 0")

    There is no documentation for this shock on Bilstein's website, DownSouth says up to 2.5" so thats what I'm basing the top ring on.

    So if that is the top ring the bottom ring is stock (0"), so split the difference you get 1.25" in the middle (assuming a linear relationship).
