Default Which Bilsteins??

Hey guys i got a 2011 2wd and I'm looking at putting Bilsteins on for a mix of a better ride and to get rid of some of the rake. I've looked on websites and I see several different models. Could y'all help me decide and give me some links to the best option?
Thanks in advance

go with the 5100s and they are priced for each one. Tap Auto has a good price and gives a discounts to forum members. they will tell you what you need know. there are plenty of options on the internet to compare with, most run around $100 per shock for the fronts with free shipping.

I appreciate it a lot. Would it be alright to run at the highest setting of 2.5 front and 1 back??

I run them on highest setting and they're fine. The thing however is it is only the front that provides lifts from the shocks. The rating on the rear is what block increase they can accommodate, which I believe is specd at 1.5" over stock.
