No difference look at the bilstein part #s they are the exact same B8 just must be some aftermarket designation. Like b110s are for the extended length 5100s for the rear.

 

Oh she knows what to do. at 5 she knows more about gun safety than 99% of Americans. She gets to use my pocket knives under my supervision and guidance to open things. Both those things freak my mom out. I think next yr for her Bday I will be getting her a little .22 and I'll be getting a supressor for it. She's extremely sensitive to loud noises.

 

Ok So as you guys recommended... the leveling kit is not going to work for me. Specially since I'm thinking I will be doing new shocks and UCA anyway. Might as well get it over with. The question which UCA would you guys recommend? I've always felt I needed to replace those, mainly because looks, and mine look like crap, plus I'm sure it will help with the lift. So now I need UCA to go with the 5100s. I will skip the coilovers since I have 2017 coils installed.

 

So you're keeping your current springs and going to put them on the 5100s is that right? From my understanding the 5100s won't really get you enough lift to "need" UCAs, but I would recc. them. I like coilovers with balljoints for mostly street driven trucks. There are several manufac. SPC/light racing, Camburg, Icon, and JBA. If it were me I'd go with the JBAs I went with the Icons on mine and they are nice but I think JBA is a little better design and a lot less $$$. Now I have not seen JBAs personally or used them but just looking at them and knowing what they are I think they are the best option. I know a buch of guys that run the SPCs their biggest complaint is not getting an alignment shop to utilize the adjustments built into them. I also don't believe their ball joint has as much articulation as the Icon, Camburg, or JBA which could limit the travel of your suspension.

 

See this is the info I need. Thank you sir!

 

Sounds like my 84 blazer

I Dumped about 8k into. The Alternator caused a engine fire and that was the end of that. Insurance company said it was worth 1500$ live and learn.

 

Oh and another plus for the JBAs if you are in a bind and break a balljoint you can run to the local parts store and get a GM style 4 bolt balljoint to get ya home until you can get one of their high angle ones again. Or keep a GM one with you as a spare they are cheap I think around 30 bucks or so.

 

JBA UCAs are awesome!

 

Thank you all for helping me make my decision. I'm definitely going JBA after doing some homework. Not only are they're super functional but they look good as hell.

Thanks Randall, sadly didnt get to it today for fighting the headlights.

 

Perfect. Sounds like a plan.

 

Actually installing light bar brackets up there. Just needed the bolt size since I was out and about.

 

Did you figure out the issue?

 

Yes, pics on snapchat. Headlights are good to go again finally.

 

I'll check when I get outta work here at midnight.

 

Hope you didn't spend a lot.







These brackets were only 20 bucks. They are sturdy as hell. Use 1/4" rivets.

They were a bitch to get in, even with this gun



The finished product is bad ass though.

 

That does look bad ass. I bought a used set of Relentless brackets that they dont make anymore. They utilize the 2 front holes in the cab. Hoping mine comes out that well, I ahve a double row and a single row light. Gonna mount them both and see which I like best. Probably put it to a Snapchat vote.
