Need another opinion.

I just got my Icons and TC UCAs for my 06, don't have them on yet, but will soon. As for the back end. Should I spend the cash to get the Icon DR series RR shocks, or will some Bilstien 5150 piggy backs work just fine for me? It's a diffrance of about $300 is why I ask. Thats my light bar right there.

 

5125's will do the trick nicely to save even more money!!!

 

I thought the 5125s were just for the front...? Whats the diffrance from the 5150s?

 

just emailed my contact at Bilstein, we'll see what he says.

 

You can get 5125's for the rear, 5125=no resi, 5150=w/resi
5125's are very good shocks, got'em on the rear of my Tacoma

 

5150's have resivoir's???

Guess all the pics i've seen were not 5150's.

Edit: ok did some searching, and seems that I been asuming that the 5100 rears were the 5150's.

Good deal on the 5150's: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kit...eries.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=90&t_pt=100662&t_pl=5985

But how would a person know which to choose from as far travel length...

 

Ya, I guess they just came out with the 5150 cross flow piggy backs. I found them at Downsouthmotors.com. With a 2'' AAL i need around 10'' of travel. Thats what Icon and one of the guys at Wheelersoffroad.com told me when i got my front set up.

 

Cool, Thanks for the info...

 

Thinking about this.(thanks for the link Rox) Looking at pt# Bilbfs-A196-What's the difference between the -Ho & H1?? Think i found it.The Ho's valving is 170/60,the H1 is 255/70. OK, that helps.lol. Now my ?? is what do those #'s mean??

 

+1 , LOL...

I am definately getting these. Way cheaper than most remote resevoir, no need to mount the res. But yeah, whats the diff as far as specs. I will be running the Wheelers 3 leaf pack adding 1.5" to the rear. Was going with full leaf pack but heard they limit load capacity. So the 3 Leaf should give me best of both worlds if paired with a good set of Billy 5150's right?

thanks.

 

I'll be getting the 3 pack also & removing the overload leaf. I sent Downsouth a pm about the valving.I'll get back to you.

 

Ok thanks...
