finally got them yesterday and put on the front. The ride is so much better, I am very pleased with the 5100 series shocks. I am going to put a longer shock on the rear though, I'll be selling the ones off the rear now, now any one out there with a couple inches lift looking for some rear shocks hit me up (Bilstein BE5-6137-H5)

I kind of ****** up. I read 6" lift for the front and missed the rear 2-4. They fit with some travel but my truck has new springs and all it they can travel a lot more than the shocks at this point. I am going to run a 5125 in the rear too and that will fix that.

The 6" springs I think actually sat the rear up 7+ inches over where it was anyway. I need a good bit longer. I talked with the techs at Bilstein and they understood the problem...just not their fault.
