Hey guys I'm looking to switch my 1" front spacer for the bilsteins, i just want a bigger lift for the front end, but I'm not 100% clear on if they're compatible for the 2wd? And also where can i get the rear spacer? Sorry I know there's endless threads about this but I haven't read anywhere that specifically states this.

The 5100s are only available for the 4wd as they are a strut system compared to the 2wd which is a shock in coil system.

Thank you for clarifying that. I will just get a bigger spacer up front. I know readylift has the 2.25" Front and 1.5" rear spacer so I'll go with those instead. Do 2wd have the same UCAs as 4wd?

Same UCAs. You can still get 5100s for 2WD; they just won't add lift like the 4WD ones do.

Your saying the 4wd ones work for 2wd? Or there's 2wd specific bilsteins??

5100 is a model of a Bilstein shock; one version of that model is made for 2WD and one for 4WD B
