Ordered the Bilstein 5100 kit from Stage3Motorsports last Friday! The rears are already scheduled to arrive today! Apparently Stage3 is expected to get the fronts in sometime mid March. I'll let you know if they come sooner.
I'm to impatient, I found some fox 2.0 for $600 brand new and scooped those up.
Anyone I have a 2'' autospring level for sale, brand new. Been sitting for about 1 year now.

Good news. If you install the rears, be sure to read the entire instructions packet because some guys seem to miss the basic advice of snugging then torquing both the upper and lower shock mount bolts when the truck is on the ground at normal ride height.
Reason for this is the upper and lower shock mount *bushing* is under torsion once tightened and the final torque of 66 lb/ft is applied.

Torquing.... so like... crank down as hard as you can. That's what I did Not sure why truck wouldn't be on the ground. They are easily done without jacking the truck and I'm a big fat 300lb guy, so if I can get under there, anyone can.
Some guys have access to a lift, or they might have the truck in the air for another reason and do the shocks at that point. Who knows. Just some friendly advice is all.

So it's best to do it with the truck still on the ground huh?
You may install these any way you like, only tighten the mount bolts when the truck is on the ground at it's normal ride height, then torque to 66 lb/ft.
