Hey guys, I've been looking into getting bilsteins for my truck. But recently I found out the 04-08 only have the stock and 2" lift setting on these shocks. I had a 2" autospring leveling kit on my truck before, and didn't like it. It lifted my truck more than what I wanted. I'm only looking for about 1" of lift.

So my question is, will bilsteins from 09-10 f150s fit? They have the 4 adjustments on them, instead of 2.

Or should I just get the bilsteins for my truck, leave them at stock height, and add the 1" Daystar leveling kit? (although I think that kind of defeats the purpose of the bilstein leveling shocks) Thanks for the help!

 

Thanks for posting this, I am in the exact same situation. I am wondering about going with the 4600 HD shock or the 5100 series. I too already have the 2" leveling kit on the front but I am unsure of which shock to get.

Hopefully we will see some good information from the people in here from their experiences.

Let's here it guys and gals!

Thanks

 

per this post:

bilstein 5100 for the 2wd is adjustable at 0, 1, and 2"

Front 5100
3 Height Settings
Stock, 1", 2"
Bil 24-186698

 

Thank you, thats exactly what I'm looking for!

 

I just bought a set of 5100's and was told they had 3 settings. After receiving them they only have 0" and 2". Part number on the box is f4-be5-c293-t2. I am thinking about turning a third groove in them so I can set them up at 1".

did they come out with an updated version? Why do they sell 2 different sets like that?

 

Not sure. I think it depends on the vehicle that they were made for.
