Default Bellstein 5100 thoughts, opinions or troubles.

Thinking of gettin Bellstein 5100s on my 2010 Scab 4x4 XLT with a 4.6 V8 to level it out and ha e room for bigger tires. Thinking of going with the 5100s on all 4 corners. What do you guys think of the 5100s. Thanks.

The only problem I see with them is actually being able to get them. I've been waiting 3 weeks and I know others have been waiting longer. I was just told on Thurs that Bilstein is now saying 2nd week in Jan before they get anymore delivered.

I'm a manager at AutoZone and I can get them from work in 4 days. Maybe people should try there.

No problem getting them in Canada. Just ordered replacements for my rears as I took one out with a rock. Second time that has happened to me as I do alot of miles on gravel. So far been a good shock. No complaints here.

JJKJ- I'm with ya on that one.......been back ordered for 6 weeks!!!!! WTF??
As far as Auto Zone goes, they cant get the front adjustables either......only the rears. I could have had the rears about 5 1/2 weeks ago. Just sayin'.

Huh I was just on my system here at my Autozone ready to order them and they had the front adjustable ones and the rears available for order maybe it depends on the area.

Firmer, I would say better. If you are taking a turn you don't feel like you are in a high speed boat that is heeling over anymore.
