Awesome thank you! So you use your current stock spring just changing out the shock?

 

You can use your stock springs or aftermarket (ome, eibach, etc).

 

I got mine from @HeadStrong Off-Road . Marie was really great and informative.

 

1.75 in front and stock rear, paid 560 installed with alignment out the door..

 

Looks good.... I'd have to say a little nose high...

 

your right ,
will see if it settles at all?
but i guess it depends on what part of the country your in,
in socal it seems to be the trend , nose high instead of stink bug

Seems like a good deal for all four with free shipping, although HeadStrong has them for just about the same:

It would be hard to say how it sits with the truck parked on a curb like it is.

 

Nose up or down... It's your truck, do what you want.

 

Anyone have their 5100's make a clank / clack noise when hitting dips or anytime they get compressed? I just got done going through the front suspension. I inspected and greased the LCA hardware. I had the LCA's out completely and the bushings look good. Everything is tight best I could tell. I'm just wondering if the shocks could be the issue? Otherwise they perform well and they don't always do it. Usually only the first time I hit a dip. I don't feel anything in the cab or steering??

 

DO you still full travel with the .85 and 1.75 settings?

 

How long have you had the 5100s on, and has this sound always been there?

What?

 

It's been a few weeks now and I'm happy with the ride and height of my truck. I happen to be reading more comments and have a question. I had my truck aligned right after the shocks were put in and set properly at the right position with the wheels and tires. Should I have waited maybe drove it for a little bit to settle and then done the alignment or did I do the right thing by doing the alignment right away?

 

I've had them on for about 3.5 years, the noise for about a year.

 

Guys,

I have Eibach coils set at 0. Looking to either get an AAL or Dakar leaf pack. How hard is it to move the front up to .85? Do you need to remove the shocks to do so? How long does this take? Reason Im asking is I would like to get a ball park idea of what the shop will charge me to do it.
Thanks

 

Guess I should have read a bit further.

 

I just ordered Bilstein 5100 with 18x9 rims and 275/65. Cannot wait to see the outcome.

 

I know...I know...the front is high. I'm waiting for my TSB rear replacement inn April.



Powerstop Rotors and pads.

 

Before lifting, I marked the headlight beams on the garage door, after the lift I adjusted the lights to those marks.
