Default Bilsteins 5100 height adjustable shocks who has them?

I know this thread has been started before but I just want to know who has them and likes them? I just ordered some for the front to level out a little bit in the front. Got a pretty good deal on them AJUSA.com has them for $92 each.

You might want to do a search on them. Seems some have broke under light offroad usage.

i've had a pair on my truck for 10 months or so. They make the truck seem more "sure-footed" I'd say. I haven't broke mine, then again I don't pretend it's a trophy truck either.

Ok finally got around to installing the bilstein 5100's today. It looks great. I will try to get some pictures on here tmrw morning when I can figure it out how to do it. Install was fairly straight forward and easy. Did front and rear in 2 hrs. I used the highest setting on the shock which is supposed to be 2 1/4". I messured from the middle of the fenders to the ground and the rear is 1/4" higher than the front which is almost perfect. I think I'm going the do an add a leaf in rear maybe pro comp or fat bobs not sure yet.
