Bilstein clunk?
Has anyone else had any issues with a loud clunk out of the Bilstein 5100’s on the downstroke of the front struts? I switched to them about six or seven months ago and I’ve got a noise and terrible jarring effect that I never had with my old AS spacers. I also have a full front replacement bumper that I thought could be causing some of the increased noise, but it only happens on a hard drop out of the front drivers side, not the passenger side. Has anyone experienced anything like this?? I’m sitting on the next to highest setting of the strut. Thanks!

As do I but this was outta my league. I have basic automotive skills, oil change, brakes. I've done a torsion key swap on my ranger but installing bilstiens is above my head. Especially since I don't have a spring compressor.

This. I've seen a lot of these posts lately it seems like and this is always the problem. I followed the torque specs on mine and had no problem though, but a lot of people don't use torque wrenches!!
