    Good to know! I couldn't find anything in the directions that says a hole has to be drilled in the frame however the only hole is see preexisting in the rear frame is square shaped. I called Bilstein to make sure drilling the frame was not required. MY set of 5160's is being delivered today and I will be taking them up to Big Bear CA to try them out this weekend! Thanks for the pics and for answering all these questions folks are asking you!

    No drilling necessary. If you go with the new headstrong aal, you discard your overload spring as well

    Oh thanks I already have an Alcan leaf pack so no aal for me but it is good to know that the 5160's are a plug and play setup! Thanks.
