    So this is my new hunting truck, I just bought it about a week ago. It already has bilstein's all the way around it set to the highest level, and I think I already blew one of the rear shocks out LOL. A question because I was referred Headstrong for the answers and the products in my threads. I was told it would be a better ride if I put new Springs and the billsteins back on on the lower setting. Also there's some sort of a shackle on the back of the rear spring I guess maybe that lift it up a little bit? I want to just get it nice and level with a little small lift.

    Curious to see the replies on here.

    Looking at getting some 5100’s and to level truck.

    Currently have stock springs.

    Is there a spacer needed for driver side to prevent sag?

    Okay I spoke to you in a PM a while ago and I'm ready to pull the trigger on my Bilstein 5100 lift and Springs. My thoughts are the 5100 with 885 springs, depending on the deal I wouldn't mind the headstrong Springs if they are available and comparable. Also I was thinking the three leaf rear springs I want my truck to sit pretty level without anything in it, but needed heavy duty enough because pulling a 16 ft long trailer for my side business about once a week or so. So I would like to see what kind of deal I can get and get this show on the road and get ready to ride like a Cadillac

    I would love to have some info, I'm really torn between the old man emu and the Bilstein kits. I know people say call Mary but when I talked to her she said email or the Forum would be easier. So I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I make the phone call or whatever to order the stuff. I want to get this show on the road and get my truck ready to rock
