    I finally installed the Bilstein 5100 series adjustable set at 2.5" with no problems. I got them from Downsouth Motorsports... I have no complaints thus far. Nothing but good things to say about the service from the guys at DSM.

    Any changes to the rear suspension or tires?

    Glad to hear you had good service. You can appreciate modifications more when they are not clouded by additional problems or poor service.

    No I didnt do anything to the back... The 2.5" actually leveled out the front rake. It doesn't really look like it on the pictures on my profile, but it is level. Im still unsure as to what wheels and I would like to get. I have decided to get the Toyo Open County All Terrain. Any suggestions on wheels?

    Well, just too let you know... I have had bad luck with the Toyo A/T's. Got stuck in mud and snow, and they had good amount of tread left. Just to let you know. :)
    If you dont plan on doing much offroading or snow driving you should be just fine with them.

    I'de go with a flatte Black wheel, it would look Awsome!

    Thanks for the heads up man. I keep going back and forth with either the flat black teflon look like something from american racing ATX or the same wheels in the polished look. Any other nice flat black wheels?
