Default Bilsteins 5100

Does anyone replaced their stock shocks for the Bilsteins 5100? And if so, is it easy to do it yourself?

I had a local shop do it. You have to get the coil off of your stock shock. They ride great though. In a few weeks mine will be up for sale since im upgrading to kings with my rize lift

Have 'em. Like 'em. You need a spring compressor to install so I had shop do it. Seems the '11's are more tricky as you need to hammer the spring seat off the factory shocks.

If you have the new electronic steering, make sure you disconnect the battery.
