Default Bilstien 5100 pics please

Anyone have a pic of their trucks with the 5100s? I'm thinking about getting them or the rancho quick lift but heard the 5100 ride is a selling point. Also do If I get them do I need all 4 shocks? Or new coil springs?

I don't have a picture right now but the ride is great and no you don't have to replace all 4.....I only did the front two and you can use your old springs as well

What setting would you put the 5100s at if you already have a 2 inch leveling kit?

My truck sits almost exactly level I can't tell a difference at all between the back and front.

I would put then on stock because of the angles but you might get away with the middle setting. I defiantly wouldn't do the 2.5/highest setting

look in my garage pics of my truck with 5100's. I also only did the fronts, I plan on doing the rears too but haven't got around to it yet, I went with the highest setting and love them!

Here is my truck. Bilsteins are set at highest setting or 2". The ride compared to stock is unbelievable. Pictures were taken with my phone so they aren't the greatest but it does the job. I love how it looks now!

Do you have any control arm to coil contact with them? I'm having it bad on my leveling spacer now
