    Got my new leafs on, and Billy 5100s just arrived via ups.

    They are standard, 5100 adjustables, ordered from
    Downsouthmotorsports as a front and rear shock package deal.

    Only question I have before I install them and can't return them is that on the instructions that came in the box bilstein warns that "due to increased collapses length of bilstein shock absorbers a 1" lift is required".

    Really? I haven't heard anything about that. I triple checked part numbers before ordering

    Cool thanks. Already got one on anyway. it also says they are " off road use only" on the paper. Sure it's some liability thing. And these general spring hds gave me at least an inch lift.
