    I meant to say 'what' are your caster numbers at 2.5". Damn spell check.

    I installed them finally last night and had shop do alignment today. Here's before and after:

    After with 5100's set at 1.75 and rear stock:

    Perfectly level and ride is cush! For you guys that take your truck to the shop to have your Bilstein's installed, don't do it. I am not a mechanic by any means but are of course a little handy and first time ever doing them had them installed in 2 hours without power tools or impact....all manual baby and was cake!

    At least you guys don't have passenger caster at 1.9 and don't know why the mechanic can not adjust it. I think my cam bolts are seized.

    Gotta agree! I installed mine today and it was a pretty straightforward and simple install. I used the jack method instead of a spring compressor......easy.
