Getting 5100s installed in the front tomorrow

...on my non-TRD. Original shocks are at 58,000 miles, and I'm getting a lot of bump steer and generally poor handling and a terrible feeling in the steering.

Think I'll notice a difference tomorrow night?

 

Oh yea which setting?

i wanna upgrade to some bilsteins too, do you guys recommend the 5100s or the 5150s, im probably gonna get blasted for not searching this

 

5150 are for lifted applications usually over 4". 5100s are great for stock and most lifted applications

 

ohh okay well my truck is stock so my only choice would be the 5100s right? i offroad alot and im just trying to upgrade to something that allows me to cruise in the desert without spending too much money and yet be better than stock

 

5100s would be the way to go

 

^^yea 5100s for sure

 

the offroad ones or OEM replacements? i know they are both replacements but somewhere on their site i read they have an offroad version and a leveling shock? but both 5100s?

Actually 5150's come in a bunch of different sizes. Don't need 4" lift to run them, but they have sizes available that will accommodate 4" of lift.

not to steal the thread but what would my little truck need after my 2.5" lift? I mean size of 5100s

 

I got front & rear 5100's in a box in my garage...delivered earlier this week. I just need the time to do the install. I may have to pay someone to get it done and an alignment.

Looking forward to having this upgrade completed.

Then I can move on to other mods.

Although I bought a new Harley this past Saturday...and it needs mods as well.

It never ends my friends...it never ends.

 

I have no idea what you are asking here.....

 

Yeah, I would install them myself, but I'm back to school full time and don't have a good location to do the work here. I figure I need an alignment after the fronts are installed anyway, so I'm going to have the fronts installed at least. I might hold off on the rears and install those myself later, it depends on how much more they want to throw them on.

 

I think he's confusing with 5150s


5100 are adjustable ( 0-.85-.175-2.5)
just find the blisteins that go with ur 5lug truck

 

They don't make 5100's for 5-lugs.

 

I guess that answers my question. I need new shocks and keep hearing these shocks (blistein 5100) are the best. I ask what kind because someone mentioned they are adjustable or come in different sizes and I wanted to know what would be the ones for me. If that makes sense at all...

 

yeap same here, i need a shock upgrade and didnt know what to go with but i think 5100s are probably my best bet
