    what about the 5100 adj for the rear..........?

    lift also....would light some overall lift on a new to me '14......

    $400 for 4 shocks seems like a fair price for quality stuff........

    Are there other shock builders other than Bilstein ? :)

    Rears aren’t adjustable, and don’t provide any lift.

    It's not as easy as you are making it out to be. Go on headstrong off road's site and do some reading.

    This may be another dumb question but the Bilstein 5100 is smoother ride than stock at say the .85 adjustment ?

    No, but it also depends. If your stock shocks are blown or high mileage it will definitely ride better.

    If you’re comparing a brand new/low mileage TRD shock to a brand new/low mileage 5100 at the .85” lift setting I’d say you’re ride will be slightly rougher, but hard to notice. Very similar.

    I have a lot of customers who go with the first notch setting to help lessen the discrepancy from front to back and from the feedback I have most don't notice much of a change of ride quality at all.
