Bilstein 5100

[CAMcvicker]

Plan on getting some 3" forged leveling keys from eBay. And instead of shock extensions I was gunna pick up some bilsteins shocks. I was wondering should I get the 0-2.5" shocks or get the ones for 4-6"? I heard they give you some extra lift so I may need a 1.5" rear spacer. Just curious on what y'all think.

Thanks

I would say the 0-2.5" unless you plan on going higher than that in the near future

I just did this with 2" spacers and the longer bilsteins 5100's

Yea on another forum they said the 4-6 would be too long but I saw a guy that leveled his with 3" keys and had 4" shocks so I was just wondering if I could get the longer ones n be fine. They are actually cheaper then the 0-2.5" on eBay

Why not get the skyjacker kit, includes new shocks spacers, and all the hardware you need.

Well got under the hoe today and she has bilsteins all the way around not sure what model but I would guess 5100. I also took a look at the torsion keys and I figured tey would be rusty but they were surprisingly not. It doesn't look lifted but maybe they replaced the old keys with new ones. I know he towed some cause he has a electric trailor brake on the inside. The passenger side key bolt looks maxed(can't see any threads) and the driver still has some threads showing

If they are a brushed aluminum looking they are the 5100s

Yea they are all brushed aluminum looking. So I guess I have 5100 all the way around.
