Is this a steel or should I ignore?

i would just buy new. never know how hard they were abused in 5k miles

 

id buy um if thats all!! that aint no time used and for $50 less thats a deal! Come with tha springs too?

 

brand new shocks are only $180....
if the op is getting the coils and shocks and top plates this is a deal
that said used is used.....
but i doubt they are bad at 5k unless op is jumping

 

what you see in the picture is what im getting, is it a good deal??

 

reason being?

 

I'd buy new for peace of mind for $50

 

agreed, ill end up saving a little more and go with the 885s with "new" billies and a toytec 1.5" AAL

 

I would agree, but if OP is getting the springs and top plates also (in pic) then it's a pretty good deal.

 

Not a big enough savings for the risk factor, buy new bro and never look back

 

The coil seats of the 5100's have changed- in the picture are the older ones made out of aluminum. The newer ones are made of steel. Not sure when they changed them, but its been awhile. This may help with the age factor. But as many have stated I recommend buying new just because the price for a new pair is minimal... and it seems he used the boots off the factory Billys...

 

It's sorry, not sry...

Sorry, someone had to say it...lol

 

Bilstein changed their spring seats from the aluminum as pictured to a black stamped steel piece some time ago, me thinks at least a year ago. There is no way those have 5k on them.

Buy new for peace of mind.

 

I'd buy that setup for $100 in a second if they were set to the height I wanted. You'd be getting a deal on the shocks, plus save time and $$ getting them put together for you or borrowing/renting a compressor. These look like they're set at 2.5" though, which is higher than I'd run Billies, so I'd personally pass.
