    5-LUG?
    So I don't post a lot but I do search threw the forums quite often to gain knowledge. I've searched countless threads to try and gain knowledge on 5-lug suspension and what I came up with was rather limiting especially when it came to the Bilstein 5100's shocks. Today I got them installed on the rear of my truck along with Bilstein 4600's in the front. I have to say I'm extremely happy with the outcome. Just for further info I also have a 5-LUG ReadyLIFT Kit installed with a rear aal. So what do you fellow 5-luggers think?

    looks great but you probably want to get the dust boots installed on those rear shocks

    Ive read around the forum and checked around some other sites and I've read that you don't really need them? Please correct me if i'm wrong. I was told the boots get mud, sand and other debris stuck in them? This is my first truck so any advice would much appreciated!

    My tires are 265/75R16 Nitto Terra Grapplers.
