Bilstein 5100 shocks

Anyone know why no one makes a 265x75x17?

 

TacoPirate, how much lift did you get and what size and kind of tires do you have? Something about those tires gives it a nice look but they look to be 65's, which is what I have but I don't have that look.

The front was raised approximately 1 3/4 inches. You're right, 265/65/17 and they are BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A's. Might be the wheelset that's making the difference

 

Been running them since 2013 one setting from max lift.No issues new leaves in rear from the dealer.

 

how many of you guys are still using the stock UCAs with a 2 inch lift from the 5100s?

 

I'm using stock UCAs on the 3rd notch. Doesn't seem to be too bad. Next year though I will be saving for some JBAs for some nice peace if mind. Supposedly if you stay under 2.5" you don't need UCAs but I'm not sure.

 

I am. Have been for the last 3 years, or so. No issues.

 

Installed my 5100's in the rear of my 12 dcsb v6 today. I have had them for several months
just awaiting time to get them put on. Boy did they ever need it . The old stock shocks
were spent. Rebound from fully compressed was about 7 minutes. And the entire shock
could be compressed easily. I'm glad to get this done. Gained a little ride height too.
Install was easy - I soaked the hardware with PB Blaster a week prior to doing the work
this morning. Everything came off without issue. I repainted my brake drums while the
wheels were off. Adding to the upgrade and appearance. I'm saving up now for the front
ones next .

 

Hey folks, looking for the Bilstein 5100 2nd gen super thread, if there is one. Or is this it?
