Suspension upgrades

[George K]

hello,

I am looking to remove the existing OEM suspension and upgrade with 5100 series Bilatein shocks and springs. Since i plan on raising the front 2.3 inches to almost level it using the shocks do i need to also replace the upper and lower control arms along with the Tie rods? If yes is there a video or site i can go to to get infirmation on what to buy?

how many miles are on your truck?

you should not have to replace anything else but if stuff is warn out then it would be a good time to replace your ball joints and anything else that fells loose

none of the items you mention are required with bilsteins, but as suggested you might change them purely for prevantive maintenance or because they are worn out. We call it "while you're in there" syndrome
