Anyone have an ETA yet?! Beginning of the year I was told May or June but I still don't see them out there!

 

I'm curious as well ... been "waiting" on them since I got my truck in late March of 2014.

Quite frankly, I'm not even sure if I'd buy them when they do finally come out, just out of frustration. There are full-out lift kits and other accessories for the 2015+ models that had to have much more engineering done on them to make them possible when comparing to the "problem" of redesigning the LCA mount on the Bilstein shocks. Other companies have already re-engineered their shocks to have the newer/different LCA connection, but Bilstein still hasn't.

I really am not concerned with the whole "they have lots of products and just haven't gotten around this one yet" excuse, especially since others have already done it.

 

Without spending $800+ on adjustable coilovers, or a cheap spacer, what are y'all doing for a level and better ride than our crappy oem shocks

 

If I'm going to spend upwards of $800 + installation for coilovers, I'm going to just get a 'real' lift kit. Until that point, I'll gladly deal with spacers and stock coilovers, as I don't find the ride as bad as a lot of people seem to. Maybe I'm just content with a truck riding like a truck - even though it's much smoother these days than in years past.

That's why I do want the Bilsteins ... I want them to replace my OEM's, front and back, when it's time, as I know the ride will be better, even with the OEM coil springs. I'm just aggravated that they haven't produced the adjustables for the 2014+ trucks.

 

do they make the rear set yet?

 

I'm pretty sure they do, as that "design" is the same between the 2013's and up ... it's only the LCA mounting situation on the front that has changed from 2014 on up, and they haven't got that product adjusted and rolled out yet. 2.5 years after it came out, they STILL have not simply modified the LCA connection on the 5100 adjustables ...

pathetic if you ask me.

 

And when they do get them out they'll be on backorder forever!

 

Rough Country has some "N2.0 Leveling Strut" for the 14s and Eibach just released some "PRO-TRUCK SPORT/SPORT LEVELING (RHA). The RC are set at 2" front level and the Eibach are Ride Heigth Adjustable (same style as Bilstein) up to 2". Both make rear shocks to match as well. Both are on Stage3 if you wanna check them out.

 

yeah i've seen the RC front lvling strut. i posted on that thread but as of yet no one seems to have installed them that can give us any info on how they perform. now that being said i had a RC lift on my 08 jeep and it was pretty good.
