Default Bilstein 1.5" Adjustable Lifting Shocks

Added the Bilstein 5100 front shocks today. Set them to 1.5 inch lift setting. Truck ride is smooth but firm and it got rid of the wheel dribble experienced when hitting small bumps....Much better ride in MHO. I tried 2 different spring compressors from Harbor Freight but couldn't get either one to compress them enough. Had to have a shop with a heavy duty spring compressor put the shocks in for me. Part number is Bilstein 24-187497 5100 from amazon and cost was $109 each.

What year truck?? I didn't think Bilstein had the 5100 adjustable available for a 2016 , and it looks like you have a 2016.
