Installed my Bilsteins today and 35s! Total Cost

[Jljordann922]

Had a rather productive day today....I dropped my truck at my buddys shop to install the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks...Had them set to the highest setting. Took him and his brother about an hour. $120 for the install.

Then my tires got delivered by UPS so it was perfect timing to take my wheels and tires to my local shop to mount and balance them. Had the shop transfer the TPMS from my stock wheels. Also had to buy aftermarket lugs for the new wheels. Took them about 2.5 hours for everything and another $190.

Total for the project

(2) Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks - $189.24
(4) Fuel Hostage 20x10 -24 Offset - $1092
(4) Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ - $1096.98

Install for everything (Bilsteins, mount/balance/lugs) - $310

Grand total - $2,688.22

Not too bad I don't think and am super happy with the results. Let me know what you think.

That does look good. How much weight to balance the tax.

Thanks...how much do you have in the rear and front?

Thanks...how much do you have in the rear and front?

2.8 front, zone ucas and 1.5in rear spacers. I am not hauling or towing enough to need the rake right now though. I think yours looks much nicer leveled out without rake.

I have the same setup, but I only have 3/4" rake with that setup. Honestly not enough that most people could see a difference

Sorry that was due to my lack of proper grammar lol. I meant not too bad referring to costs/install and that I AM super happy with the results.
