Bilsteins done

[Chase0808]

Got my blisteins in about a week ago and also added some 35" firestone mts. Still have a lot more wheel well room than I expected. Only thing is that they are still on stock wheels and I want the tire to stick out a little more. Im not a big fan of wheel spacers but should I just go with one for now until I get new wheels? I do some off roading but its mainly gravel roads and stuff like that. Nothing too serious. What do you guys think?

You'll be fine with spacers. I ran some 2" on my old for like 80k miles with no issues. Just make sure they installed properly and that you retorque them every tire rotation

Did you go with 2.8 setting?

Tires look sweet too.

NICE! I did the same tire but set my bills at 2.1

 

[Chase0808]

Yeah I went with the 2.8 setting and I like it. I was going to add rear spacers but its looks pretty even to me so I'm probably going to leave it as is. Still deciding on wheel spacers though. Im scared that wheeling might cause too much stress on them. I had a jeep wrangler with wheel spacers and had one break off. Luckily it was in the driveway and not on the road.

The Firestone Destination MT tires are bad ***!! I've heard nothing but good things about those tires. My wife has the Destination AT's, and I just went back for a second set for her vehicle. Great tires.

Does anyone use the 5100 shocks with a front end leveling kit? I bought my 2012 and it has a 2" front end level kit installed. The Bilstein youtube vid on these has a comment from them saying you can run stock height on shocks and leave the spacer there or take out obviously. I want to install these shocks based on the widespread liking of them in general and I want to raise the rear end up one notch.

So you can run 35's with just the bilsteins at 2.8? And also can fit a 35x12.5 R20 tire on the stock rim and be fine ?

Yes. I believe they will clear at 2.1 also. I'm running 35x12.50 cooper st maxx on my factory wheels just fine

We really should start an "everything Bilstein MEGA thread"

But, all that aside, congrats on the mod

Did mine last month and I love it. Also threw some 35's on too. Drives great.

How do you like the coopers any problems on balancing them ?
