I don't know who's running Bilstein....but, the F150 is the best selling vehicle in the world.......if you make parts for ANYTHING....that should probably be it.
Just got off the phone with stage 3 after you posted. they are and have been out...how did you score them

Guess time will tell on the fronts. Went right to the sellers store and they are boat and rv... no shocks even on their own web site

Wonder how much these online retailers-jobbers-middlefolk make per tube? They list them, then the product ships from the wholesale distributor for Bilstein. Thyssen-Krups or something? Or are they the entity that own Bilstein? What-ev.


No Bilstein 5100 for a 15 - 17 F150 will raise front ride height 2.75" alone.

2.1" is the highest of five ride height options from stock.
Sorry I'm not quite following.
Ok. 2.1" is the highest of five ride heights you can get from the Bilstein 5100 front shock, by itself, meaning, with no additional spacers. Nor should you go higher by stacking different bits because then you're out of down-travel. You might look into a 4" lift instead, with whatever appropriate damper works with that combo and that depends on the lift kit maker.

Yep I'm wondering if they either:

-have the wrong PN, hope not
-had a bunch on the shelf and decided to clean up inventory, and likely are shocked with how fast they sold.

Now Amazon switched it to non-Prime, but a different vendor is showing it available for next week (no stock). I'm guessing they don't have any but who knows.

Well, there're a gazillion F150s, only a handful of forums but one bambbrose.

Ordered in February, pushed back to July, rep said closer to October. Bit bullet and ordered Eibachs instead. $20 cheaper, and the big kicker... IN STOCK. Gonna be installing them tomorrow with some camber kits, so I'll see how it goes. Should take me about 2 hours, but I can't justify putting in pucks.

Usually when that is the case it’s because they were at Amazons warehouse and under the “Fullfillment by Amazon” program where the seller owns the product but Amazon does the handling to ensure prime delivery. That’s a good sign in my mind.
