Installing Bilstein 5100's- Tips and Tricks?

Yea. The 275's are more expensive than my 255/80's. Only reason i asked.

 

Any word from Marie on when the 3 leaf AAL might be back in stock? Didn’t know if she told you a timeframe or not is why I’m asking. I want to get my kit (Eibach) as well but can’t due to the fact of out of stock.

 

So how much lift did you want ? Get ?
What clip did you do ?

 

Probably got 2.5” out of the front. Haven’t measured to be honest, but it rides a little nose high. By clip, I assume you mean setting on the 5100’s; if so, it’s at the 0 setting with 888 coils.

 

Where did you get 275/75/17???

The only ones I see are LT275/70R17 on the Falken site itself.

I can't find that anywhere!


Btw, did you have to do a CMC with those tires?

 

No CMC, and sorry! I meant 275/70

 

Any vibes?

 

LOL ok cool. I love your look. Looks like you are running spacers as well if i'm not wrong.

How's the ride on LTs? Any complaints? Thinking about just getting these over the 265/70s now

 

Just good ones

 

I'd absolutely go 275/70. I debated the 265/70 KO2's for a while but honestly, they're only great for a truck with no lift. If you're swapping your suspension and going for a 2"~ lift, it tends to look a little donut-y to me. 275/70 is the perfect balance of size, functionality, and practicality.

+1 275 if my opinion is worth anything...

 

Oh... and no spacers! Went for the -10 offset which I think pushed them out a little. Perfect amount of poke

 

Tell us about the ride.

 

Rides well and sporty. Has a "tighter" feeling to it. I'm having way more confidence cornering at a higher speed. The truck definitely feels heavier and the gas mileage dropped around 2 mpg average in the city and I cap out at around 19 on the highway with an average speed of around 70-75mph- originally would see 21-24 at times.

Haven't taken if off road yet to find out that part.

So far, so good. Don't regret a thing for the money- if I had about $2,000 extra, I'd have Kings.

 

Highly appreciate your opinion man. I think I’m going to have to copy you here
