    Just throw a set of bilstein 5100 on all four corners and call it a day. If you would like to do business with a trusted vendor on this forum, message Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and she’ll send you what you need.

    So it really doesn’t matter if it’s a 5 or 6 lug vehicle? Because I check the websites and (maybe this is a problem in their site) all the products say (for 6 lug wheel only) that is getting me confused..bilstein 5100 are good to replace stock then? I will check it out! Thanks!

    I’m not 100% sure man, if you’re in a 5lug I would definitely reach out to Marie - she knows her stuff.

    Sorry I didn't see this post until now. 5-lugs are hard since there isn't a whole ton out there for them. If you are still needing assistance please feel free to PM me and we can do our best to help you out.
