Bilstein 5100's

I want to get some Biltstein 5100's for my Prerunner. Is there anything I need to ask for when I purchase them or just ask for the 5100's? Are there different versions/models, etc?

 

Pre Runner I would do Maxtrac Spindles @ChadsPride

 

Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road help this member out please

 

I will be getting these to level the front. I have read that setting the front at 1.75 should do the trick.

 

2014 Yes

 

With us all you have to do is say you want the Bilsteins for the 2nd gen. Now I do have some 2wd customers who see a little bit more lift from each of the notch settings then what they spec out at.

We have this bundle which comes with all 4 at a discount or you can do just the fronts if you wanted. Also everything on our site features free shipping to the lower 48 States.

Got it Thank you

 

The " @ChadsPride " package is where the real action is for a prerunner.

 

No truer words have been spoken

 

I foresee a "ChadsPride Like" coming...

 

I think you may be right!

 

Are the monroes adjustable like the 5100s?

 

Not really sure what these photos prove? What's they grey rubber looking thing?

 

I beat the living shit out of my shocks. Lots of washboard and potholes around here. 5100s have been serving me well.

 

Bilstein 5100's are purtier..........

 

Yeah I love me 5100s, no complaints at all.

The next question, who has out OME coils on those Monroe shocks? I don't see that being a very popular option. But hey if it works and they are a comparable shock

 

Not sure what you mean by "simulate" OME coils come in different lengths, and 2 separate spring rates. I'm more curious if anyone has done it. I'm assuming it's possible, but I don't like being a guinea pig lol

 

OEM spring rates are progressive, OME spring rates are linear and do not offer the cushy stock street ride. Equal preload on an OEM spring to attain a set ride height will generate a much more harsh compression than the same preload ride height from a linear spring rate. Linear springs absorb compression much more quickly with less travel than progressive, which makes them feel "stiffer." Progressive have a large cushy zone that can handle street conditions, but stiffen exponentially harder than linear as they reach full compression.

 

Not sure if my eyeball is that calibrated, but the OP and Chase 8059 is in a 2nd Gen so I was trying to help them out.

 

Valving is everything. 5100s are valved for on and off road performance, as well as higher than stock spring rates. They also have much better travel than stock shocks when paired with high quality suspension components.

Not dissing Monroe, but they're not one of the brands that come to mind when one thinks of high performance aftermarket shock absorbers.
