Bilstein 5100 question

Hi, I’m looking to buy the below assembly. I have a few questions before I do.
Btw: I have a 2004 extra cab 4X4
1) will this fit a 6 lug wheel? I see some other suspension pages say a distinction between 5 lug and 6 lug. My wheel has 6 lugs
2)is this a good deal?
3) I got the 2 inch lift version. Does this mean it’s at the lowest setting? My buddy warned me not to increase the notches on the strut

any other advise welcome

the setup is a bilstein 5100 + 881 OME springs

yes those will fit your truck. I have the exact same set up on my 98. I like them. Over bumps going fast it’s fine. Going slow it’s pretty harsh but not awful. I might upgrade soon to fox or kings.

 

you can do the 4600’s and westcott designs lift kit. That would be nice.

 

That's what you need, I have the same thing, until the Rough Country replacements arrive. My Billsteins started leaking 3 months in, they have progressed to violent puking. They want 150 each for the shocks alone. Rough Country, loaded, ready to go was 350 shipped. https://www.roughcountry.com/premiu...45o-1JGj4qoJd7_Llcl7LwgrLm7OBCf0aAl5UEALw_wcB

 

must be a fluke thing. My bilsteins have been on for like 10k miles and have been great. Stiff but great. No leaking and pair well with my JBA uppers.

 

That's the consensus but it kinda soured me to them. If you looked at my wheel wells you'd think I blew the brake lines. This never leaves the road . NH frostheaves is as bad as it gets . I put Billsteins on the rear two months ago, let's see how long they last.

 

dang that sucks. Sorry to hear that.
