Just curious as I'll be replacing my factory front shocks given the mileage at 126k Do they still ride okay after a while? Anyone running them at the highest (2") settings? I've got 2" spacers on my fronts and it looks so good, want to make sure the 5100's level the truck out as nicely. I've checked a lot of other posts comparing the Ranch 9000 quick lifts and the 5100 seem to be the winner.

I just put four Bilsteins on my 2006 Lariat and am happy with them.

How do you like their ride quality?

I've had them at the highest setting since June and you can definitely notice a difference. They're definitely a stiffer ride than stock. You get less body roll and on the road they're awesome. Plus my trucks perfectly level after they settled in.

Eh screw soft rides. It's a truck even if it IS a Lariat model. Thank you!

Put 5100'son the front 8 weeks ago at the highest setting. Fairly stiff but awesome struts and leveled the truck nicely. Also they are warranted to the original purchaser for lifetime. One of mine was a replacement for ones installed in2011 andBilstein replaced it free since it was leaking terribly bad. No problems whatsoever. hope this helps.

Uncomfortably stiff or just noticeably not soft?

I've had them on my truck for about 3 years now fully extended at 2". No problems with them whatsoever. Just a noticeable unsoft feel but ride quality is still good. It just feels stiffer than stock. Pot holes give you more of a jolt than the stock shocks did. I haven't regretted them as they level the truck out nicely and the body doesn't roll much at all on curves.

Perfect thank you! I really hate the body roll on my stock shocks, that'll be a nice thing to do away with

If I get the 5100's, would I need to swap out my Rancho shocks in the rear? Would the different types cause any weird ride quality issues/conflicts?
