I WAS going to do this combo, until Bilstein changed their backorder dates, again. I ended up going with the BOSS 0-3” kit set at 2.75”, which is just about what the 5100/Eibach combo would have been. I think this is the way to go and I’ve really liked the ride so far. No more squishy, bouncy feeling. Body roll is much improved around town. Looks great, definitely feels more stable and able to withstand some off-road abuse over the stock FX4 “off road” crappy shocks.

Yes, but the Bilstein/Eibach combo can be had for $375 while the Halo comes in at $850.

Very true and hard to look past for sure. Main reason I had them in my cart for so long! I decided to bite the bullet and go for the “bolt on ready” kit. Didn’t hurt that Stage3 cut me a great deal on them because of the 5100 debacle.

Did you go with aftermarket UCAs or stay stock with 2.75” of lift?

stock UCAs and the 2.75”. Next time I have to buy new tires I may get the planner wrench and lower the front a half inch or so and then get a smaller rear block just so both shocks aren’t stretched quite as much, therefore improving the ride even more.

Are you running just the Eibach struts or the struts and spring? Eibach struts I am almost positive are rewrapped Bilsteins.

Well I find it very coincidental they are both on backorder to approximately the same time.
