I have been back and forth on Bilstien 5100, Bilstien HD and the Pro Runners. I currently have the HBS 2.5" spacer on the front and AAL on the rear of the truck. I have been leaning torwards the prorunner because of the warranty, but after seeing this thread I might be back to the HD's. AJUSA has these for 375 to replace all 4 corners. Does anybody have any input on the Bilstien HD's? Gonna keep the spacer since the money is already spent...

I just finally talked to pro-comp again, they want me to flip the collar and run no spacer! They say it will raise the truck, to a "lifted/level stance" so this weekend I'll let everyone no what happens!, Anyone else have these? Without the spacer...??

My plans got delayed due to my crazy GF kicking me out, so it's next Sunday are you planning on ditching your spacers? Or running it with the collar switched.? Pro-comp swears by these things supposedly 3" of lift

Either or on the spacer with the pro comps... With the bilsteins I was planning on running the spacer.. I was hoping the pro comps would give a true 2.5" lift without the spacer..... Sorry to here about your girl giving you issues.

I just bought the bilstein 5100's for all 4 corners for $399 shipped!! At www.autoanything.com

I used the live chat feature which obliterated every coupon code deal I concocted on other sites, including theirs!

Especial - Are you planning on keeping the spacer with the 5100's? I found the Bilstien HD set for 388, but if I could get the 5100 for 399 that sounds like the plan. Thanks for the info.

So the 5100's self level the truck? No spacer is needed.? I'm surprised with thousands of follows not more people have jumped in here. Do I have the only pro-comp collar issues? Makes no sense to me. I'll throw those in the trash if 5100's work out for you let me know. Thanks.
