Hey fellas i bought a 6inch zone lift for my 07 crew cab 4wd.. Want to change out the front shocks while im at it.. What is this hype i hear about bilsteins 5100 what is the diffrence do u all reccomend

I'm running them with my 6" RCX lift and yes I would recommend them. They provide a much smoother ride than using spacers. I ran a leveling kit before my lift and I noticed a pretty big difference when I put the lift on. Closer to a stock feel when driving.

But u dont use the provided spacerd.or what

You can buy 4-6" lift Bilsteins. In this case, just set them to 6" and throw the strut spacer that comes with the lift away.

Whats the tag on those more.or.less

I found A pair for around 350 online. I saw companies like bds offer these for 600 more. But if you do it yourself like this you get the same quality for less cash.

Got my 4-6" kit from topguncustomz.com a few years ago for $450 for the set of 4. They still have them listed on their website separately, but you could call them and ask on a price for the struts/shocks combo and I figure they would bundle them together. I think they might offer a forum discount too.

Also, this thread has them on sale right now, but I don't know if they carry the 4-6" model. They are on sale and have a forum discount.

Yeah, if you rebuild your struts with the 5100's, you can save some coin and take a basic 6" lift that comes with strut spacers and turn it into a coilover kit for less than buying a lift kit that includes coilovers. I think I had approx. $1800 in the lift and struts/shocks shipped to my door.
