    Looks good. Do you have a level kit up front. Looks more level than stock. I did the adjustable Bilstein level on mine but no plans to lift it.

    What is the adjustable Bilstein level? I have replaced the rear with 5100s and want to know what to replace the fronts with.

    The front Bilstein 5100 is available as height adjustable. There are 4 positions. The lowest is stock. Mine is at the 2nd notch raising the front 0.65" which makes mine sit level. I believe the highest setting raises the front 1.5". They ride great. Have 5100's on rear too. They are not adjustable but are made to fit 0 to 1" of rear lift.

    I was going to buy spacers. Are you saying I won't need to do that if I get the 5100s? Do you have pics of them installed? What kind of $$$ am I in for?

    Think I paid $300 for all 4 shocks/struts. You will not need spacers. These shocks are much safer than spacers and they ride fantastic. Seems like the fronts are around $90 each. Before adding them my front tires were very close to the mud flaps.

    I have already add this suspension enhancement(RMAS) in the rear so I need to level the front now.
    How much work is involved swapping the OEM coil springs to the new shocks? Any special tools needed?

    Always better to lift it with the coils as allowed to just the shock. From lots of research I got the 5100 as well but I left them on 0 and put on the old man emu coils to do the lifting

    I paid a local shop $200 to get it done after work and check my alignment. There are posts on TW showing this being done fairly easily with a jack stand and a floor jack. Wish I did that because the installation did not change my alignment.
