    the 5100s are adjustable while those skijakers are not, and i would be willing to bet the Bilsteins will ride MUCH better

    That cost $100 more than front 5100's and an AAL as well.

    A few bolts are different.
    I run Skyjacker all the way around. Platinum adjustable coil-overs in front. and Skyjacker 2.5" leaf's out back. Love it, rides like a Cadillac.

    Edit: To add. I had that lift in the link also. It was great but I switched because I knew I would get the ARB w/ winch and wanted adjust-ability.

    Monotube vs dual. 5100s are better ride and made much better. The 5100s will ride beter due to their monotube piston design. The finish is much more durable as well. My .02

    I have the same question, do you just run stock coils on the skyjacker struts?
