Ordered from stage3 Tuesday. Wanted to install the rears for towing our boat. Figured I would be waiting on the fronts. All 4 showed up today.

Very pleased with how the truck turned out with the 6112's set at their highest setting with a 2 1/2" Halo Lifts rear block kit and Fox 2.0 rear shocks. The Bilsteins feel light years ahead of the front factory set up. I feel like I'm driving a different truck.
Very impressed so far with these front struts. Lift level-wise my truck went from 22 1/2" to 24 3/4" in the front. The rear went from 24 3/4" to 26" with the Halo Block give or take. The stance is exactly what I was after.

Ti-VCT Just Kicked In Yo!
Does anyone have any info on this Bilstein leveling strut set found in the Readylift catalog? It appears to be a rebranded Bilstein 5100 set, but I can't find it anywhere outside this catalog.

Here is a pic of my 2015 XLT FX4 on the right with 5100s set at 1 7/8 inches next to my neighbor's bone stock 2017 XLT FX4 twin copy cat of my truck -- yes I give him crap frequently about being unoriginal....
you can see the height difference

A week and a half with new bilstien 5100's x4, front set at 1.75". ended up with about 1 inch rake after them settling in. Very happy!!! More composed ride, handles
pot holes and bumps a lot better with less lean in corners.
