    Again, you might find one in the for sale section.
    A lot of guys take the sway bar off when lifting.
    They make relocation kits if you choose to keep the sway bar.

    If you're not lifting it, why not go with 4600s instead of 5100s? Last time I checked the 4600s were a bit cheaper. Per Bilstein, 4600 is recommended for stock height trucks, and 5100 is recommended for lifted. I am aware they can be run at stock height, but that's what Bilstein says.


    EDIT: Here's the reply I got from Bilstein last year: "If you want to keep your truck at stock height then we would recommend our B6 4600 shocks. These shock have been tuned to the stock suspension. Our B8 5100 shocks are tuned to be used at a lifted ride height when the front shock is used to level the truck. Our best riding driving shock at the stock height will always be our B6 4600. Neither shock is more durable than the other and both are great for light off road and towing."

    I really suggest that you do lots of research before you buy anything. There's alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a new set of coilovers, and if you're going to take it off-road, you might want to reinforce spindles, lower control arm mounts, and rear spring hangers at a minimum. Good luck with your truck.
