Can you have the bilstein 5100 ride height adjustable shocks and a leveling kit on at the same time? Also if I were to put an aal in the rear i wouldn't have to get longer shocks would I?

 

I believe you can but the adjustable Bilsteins in the front have to be at a zero lift to allow the spacer to sit properly. You will honestly have to ask someone else because I'm still researching them as well.

 

Bump

 

You can but you would have to leave them at stock height But why would you want to use them both? Just sell the spacer (if you already have one) and set the ride height on the 5100's where ever you like The rear 5100's accomadate a 0-1 inch lift

 

No, you can't have the lift from the Bilsteins and the spacer. You have to either set them to no lift with a spacer (which is retarded) or just get the Bilsteins set to lift (which you should do). And you don't need longer struts with AALs.

 

Ok thanks. Right now I've got the 5100 on and the only reason I'm asking is cuz I can get a 1 in spacer cheap. Tuna how much lift did you get from your aal? On the autospring website it says 2 in but that sounds like bs.

 

no bs

 

Wow it actually does lift it 2 in I thought it'd only be about 1. And thanks for the pics.

 

I saw Daystar has a 1" strut extension spacer for $40, is the el cheapo spacer your talking about? I have been looking in to the spacer + bilstein options and it ain't that good, but not necessarily out of the question ... yet. You know Bilstein will cut a new spring perch groove on the 5100's to lift it higher than 2.5 if you send the struts in and pay $65 a shock, so there are options, just maybe not safe one's with the UCA angle you would get in doing so.

 

what if you got an aftermarket uca like a camburg? ive been thinking about this to, i have it leveled but i would like another 1-2 inches and then if i add the aal ill be be 2" in total over stock.
