    image.jpg image.jpg Count me in for a blown rear passenger 5100. Less than three years on the truck and about 15,000 total miles (maybe 5 miles of which were were on a dirt road). I'm thinking the seals didn't like the cold snap we recently had. Not sure whether to try and get this replaced under Billstein's lifetime warranty (although their website says that a leaking shock is "normal"), replace w/ longer 5100s, or go w/ something different.
