    Got my parts ordered, should be shipping today. Headstrong off road is about to have a sale on OME so they went ahead and gave me that pricing. They were very helpful and had the best pricing I could find as well. I am having them install longer studs when they pre-assemble the struts so I can add a spacer if needed.

    These Bilsteins were designed to be used with 4" blocks, the blocks that come with the RCD 4.5" lift. The collapse on these is too long. Also the compression is greater so the ride would be stiffer.

    A lot of guys attempt to go this route, but it makes no sense to me since you will then have to worry about bumping before collapsing and overall gain in travel is questionable since longer bumps are needed.

    Don't freak out, but the initial lift measurements will surprise you! Once you break it in a bit, it'll settle. I almost pissed myself when I saw the 4.25" gain after lifting the front, may have been the lack of the AAL setup at the time. Good luck with the setup! Hope you like it.

    I was left with a super thick layer of oil/lube on everything I sprayed it on.

    How thick did you spray it on ? Lol

    I used it on some rusty tools and a tool box with good results

    Pretty heavy lol I figured it'd all soak up but boy was I wrong. Ended up just wiping the excess down and I'll check it out tomorrow to see how much more it absorbed. Got my center pins installed though so now I just need my 1/4" top plate and should be good to install soon after. Although I noticed my front driver axle is leaking at the diff so probably gonna have to wait on the ECGS bushing and new axle seal

    Extended length on the 5100 is too short, but you could get away with it with just on road driving. I wouldn't recommend it though and maybe you can look into shock extenders.

    They aren't side specific on 2nd Gens

    Do they have a + or a - on them ?

    Just a quick question that I was confused with, if I put a 1/4" spacer on top of my coilover, that will add 1/2" of lift or double what the spacer would be?

    ^ You got it. 1/4" spacer will get you around 3/8-1/2" whereas the as the 1/2" will get you 3/4-7/8" from what I've read
