Default Alternative to 5100's for leveling?

I can't find Bilstein 5100's anywhere. Looking specifically for the 2wd fronts (24-253222) but the 4wd fronts would work as well (24-248129). I already have the rears. Is there another shock that can be used as an alternative in order to level out the truck? I don't want to use spacers.

Fox 2.0 coilovers. I also think Rancho makes a product called the quicklift that is a coilover. Check Stage3motorsports for many options to choose from

Check out sellers on EBAY. I just bought two 5100s from separate sellers on Monday and they both showed up yesterday and today.

I'm really interested in the Fox 2.0 that are by Ford Performance. They're supposedly a little softer riding than the regular Fox 2.0's. Best of all they are sold and can be installed at your local Ford dealer and won't screw up your warranty. I'm about 90% on them being what I go with.

stage 3 sells them for about $1400 for all 4...I got mine online from Levittown Ford.

they did ride a tad smoother then the regular Fox, I think the Ford Performance ones come with a 550# spring as opposed to the regular Fox 2.0.


to the OP, eibach makes a pro truck shock that uses the spring and stuff just like Bilstein or they make a Stage 1 kit that comes complete and is adjustable.

just like someone else mentioned, just go to Stage 3’s website, select your vehicle, and all your options will pop up.
