Installed 5100s on rear

Bctexascrazy1 · Sep 30, 2016

I've had the bils on front set at 2.8 for bout 6 months now and had stock rears on with a tgc 1" coil spacer. Truck rode pretty good but noticed was kinda bouncy, so I finally ordered the bils for the rear and got them on today and all I gotta say is wowwww, complete game changer. Truck rides WAY better now even better than stock, has a lot better grip of the road absorbs bumps WAY better and absolutely no body roll. Just giving my 5 cents to those who haven't done their rear shocks yet, worth every penny!!

I'm contemplating them, will probably pull the trigger real soon.

I did all four as well and I love the way my truck rides. The highway ride is solid. I have also had it on
some pretty nasty rut filled washboard roads and snow covered roads. The truck rode great.

Let's see a pic!
Mine is perfect level with 2.8 but thinking of a spacer in the back to get a little rake back.

I'm getting my 5100's installed on Monday and doing both the fronts and rears. Glad to hear that installing the rears won't be a waste of money.

The rear shocks don't lift your truck only the fronts do. The rear Bilsteins I installed would accommodate up to 1" of lift if you choose to run a spacer in the rear.

Thank you very much

Mind me asking what the install cost you? Thanks

Cost me $200 to get all 4 corners installed and then another $60 to get it realigned.

You got a great deal! I've heard people paying way more than that just to have the front installed. And while the rear shocks are easy, they're more time consuming than a standard leaf spring rear end due to having to remove the fender liner.

Damm good price.

I replaced my stock shocks the other day which had 52k miles on them with air lift 1000 and 5100 on the rears. Already had 5100 on front set at 2.8 and it's a huge difference. Especially when I noticed my right rear shock had 0 absorbency in the first 4" of travel.

Looking at putting the bils set at 2.8 on my new 2016 ecodiesel to level and maybe a 1" lift in the back. Also looking at changing the rims and tires out as well glad to hear everyone is happy with the bils. Planning on bils all around.
