Bilstein 5100s for 2WD

[kris319]

I stumbled across these on the Bilstein website. As far as I'm aware I thought adjustable shocks only worked on 4WD. Does anyone know if these are a stand alone solution or do you still need a spacer?

EDIT: I pulled up the front suspension diagrams on the 2012 vs 2014 2wd sport if it help any lol

You can put regular Bilsteins in as replacement shock. The ride height adjustable are only for coil overs. So, you'll need the spacer to level.

I'm a bit confused. Everything I've ever read posted on here says they work on 4wd only however on the bilstein website it says they work on 2013 and 2014 2wd.

I called 4 wheel parts and they suggested the bilstein 5100s but it sounded like he was just reading that off the Bilstein website.

I spoke to a product manager at Bilstein and he told me that the 5100 adjustables absolutely will not work on the 2wd regardless of model year. It was a mistake on their website and he's going to correct it.
