When ordering Bilstein 5100....

Hello all,
After creeping around the site for several days I decided to create an account and ask a question I'm having difficulty finding an answer to.
When ordering a Bilstein 5100 3" lift kit from their website there is an option for " coil over assembly.. yes or no"
I'm assuming they mean the spring and shock are pre-assembled by them. If that's the case do I require getting a spring compressor to install them?
Any info is appreciated,
Chris

 

You then need to pick a height.2nd ring landing the highest people say is Alittle rough.Have had mine in for 4 years now.Nice...Look around a bit more then make your own decision.Good luck.Read on.

 

Are you buying coils at the same time or plan on using your stock coils? Makes a difference in how many steps your install will be. Nothing major just need to know before advice can be given.

 

If getting "pre assembled" no compressor is needed..

 

So I've since decided to just save up and get the OME 3" kit and the AAL in the rear, and I'm thinking with all the build information on here amd YouTube I can get by without using the spring compressor.
