Where are you finding your best pricing on Bilstein B8 5100 shocks for a 2019 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4?
Front 24-248129
Rear 33-253190

Real truck best offer was $141.12 and $91.09 each, $499.25 with tax, free shipping.
Rock Auto was $111.79 and 78.89 each. $403.34 with tax and shipping
4 Wheel Drive Hardware was $104.54 and 65.79 but had bad ratings for selling what looked like slightly used parts. $366.21 with tax, free shipping.
ebay was $396.20 for front and rear but may have warranty issues since it is not an authorized dealer. $425.92 with tax, free shipping.
ebay (separate) was $102.85 for front and $85.88 for rear, but may have warrant issues since it is not an authorized dealer. $405.77 with tax, free shipping.

when I measure in my garage I have about 5/8” of rake with the 2” rear block.

I’ll drive it like this for a while and see how the Fox Coilovers settle over time.

i was torn between the 2” and 2.25” and would prefer to have closer to an inch of rake.

Even though my rear is like 1 1/8 inch higher than the front, it plays with your eyes some with the white wheel wells. I probably wouldve went 2.5 or 2 7/8 tapered rear block but was already pushing fitting in my garage as it is and pushing the factory shock limits as well.

Please post before and after measurements for front and rear so those of us considering the same thing will get a clue as to how much and what it it does for leveling.

Many thanks

Does anyone have exact measurement differences on the Bilstien 5100's? I bought them for my truck (all 4 corners) and i know some people are on highest setting getting almost level with the 5.0. However, i have the 2.7 eco and it weighs significantly less. I have heard you get more height out of the kit on the 2.7 vs the 5.0. Has anybody installed the 5100's on a SCREW 2.7 ECO that could shine some light on this?

Thanks!
