This maybe a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer I need. I already bought a 3" leveling kit for my F150, and now I want to buy the bilstein 5100 struts, but I can't seem to find the shocks for the rear... Are there adjustable shocks? For everyone that put the bikstein 5100's on their trucks, what did you put in the rear? I only seem to find posts about the front.

You can't raise the rear of a truck with shocks. The mounts are not designed to hold weight. They make bilstein 5100's for the rear that can accommodate a rear lift up to one inch. In order to lift the rear you have to use lift blocks, an AAL, or smaller rear leaf spring shackles. Those are the only way to lift the rear besides different leaf springs. If you put blocks in the rear, you can use the 5100's for a 4wd f150 as the rear will be the same height.
