    I'm looking to purchase a set of 5100s for my stock 2002 4WD. Does anyone have suggestions on where to get them at and is it worth doing all 4 or just the front. My goal is to get a Relentless Stealth front bumper but it seems I need a little help with my existing front suspension. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Most of the vendors will offer a discount. I got mine from downsouthmotorsports for $299 for a set of 4. You have to install the springs yourself for that price.

    If you suspect your springs are worn (if they're original, they probably are), I'd consider new coils, too. You can have the vendor install then for a fee, which makes installing them a 30 minute job. Or save a few bucks and rent a spring compressor or look up how to install them using a hydraulic jack on the truck. It's not too hard but will probably take a couple hours when it's all said and done.

    I would do all four along with the springs along with new coils if you are going to install a bumper in the future. Prices are going to be relatively close between vendors I've been using Headstrong for my trucks and if you contact them Marie will sort you out.
