    I was quoted ~$580 which includes shipping to my address for the fully assembled front billies and the ome 885s, as well as the rear 5100 shocks. Tack on another $23 for the trim packer to correct the taco lean.

    Oh ok well thats not too bad. I'll probably just go with the billies with stock coils for now. Are you buying that set up?

    Just pulled the trigger and bought 4. Any idea how fast they are with shipping? They're shipping from California right?

    I'm still deciding on what to do as there may be a sale next week haha. I really just want the four billies and the fronts assembled with OME 885 coils. I may just get the billies now and wait and see what's on the GB next week.

    But yeah it's from Cali and I have no idea on the shipping speed. I'd assume a week or two

    What increased height will the Bilstein 5100 standard length rear shocks accommodate? I've looked, but I'm not finding the answer

    Just emailed them and they said roughly 2", but it depends on the kind of lift: blocks or AAL. I'm not sure how those would differentiate the mounting of the shock, but this is what they told me.

    Not going in this time, boys, but please report back on your progress as you install and lift those trucks. I want to learn something.

    Cheers.

    Sounds right to me and I'll explain... a 1.5” or 2.0” AAL only adds about 8mm to the thickness of the packs thus only requiring that much more down travel (extended length) out of the shock. A 1" block adds exactly 1" to the thickness of the existing leaf pack thus requiring an extra inch of the extended length, 2" blocks would than require 2" over the factory extended length shocks.

    Just remember, blocks are basically pushing your axle down the thickness of the block. AALs provide lift buy essentially re-arching the packs and making them so they don’t flatten out as easy.

    What they told you is spot on, most just don't understand the difference and get confused when they indicate they work with so much lift, which an answer can only be provided based on the lift chosen

    Hope this helps
