Default 5100 bilsteins

Hey guys. I am looking at buying some 5100 bilsteins. I have a 3" level. Just wondering where you guys buy them from and can I use my leveling kit with the bilstein struts. Thanks

Not sure where the cheapest place to buy them at is, but you can most certainly use them with your level kit as long as you leave them at stock height or "0".

Top gun customz has them for decent prices. eBay or amazon. Maybe even craigslist would probably the cheapest place to buy them.

They would work but if you are installing them your self I would put them at the highest setting and install them without the spacers just to see if you like the look.

They were designed to give far better riding caracteristics than stock and they really shine when they are used to level.

I would even consider 1" leveing spacers so you pick up the wheel travel bilstein intended you to get but still get the extra 1" of leveling.
