I just ordered Bilstein 5100's to replace my busted Fabtech's (white ones) on the lift. I also plan on replacing inner and outer tie rods with MOOG at the same time.

Anything I should be concerned about? Any suggestions or tips?

 

You replacing the parts or having a shop do it?

 

I was planning on doing it myself.

 

Might need the stock spring seats. Unless you bought the bilsteins from fabtech that are the direct replacements for those shocks made by bilsteins for fabtech

 

Exactly where I was going with my question....haha.

As for the tie rod ends, count how many threads are showing on the inner tie rods that way you can semi keep your toe in check until you go get an alignment. I had like 12 threads showing on mine. Try not to move the jam nut either. Good luck!!

 

So the lift was already on my truck when I bought it several years back, any idea on the part number for the seat spring? Ive been searching for about 30 mins with no luck...

 

I have no clue man...you can try to look on tascaparts.com but it is gunna be tough to find...i gave mine to nickpatton189 when i put my BDS kit on 6 months ago. Best bet is to look for people selling their old struts or at a junk yard.

 

I just had my fronts put on yesterday. From what I was told, make sure you have a torch handy because the bolts might be really right. After they got that figured out, they were done in about 2 hours with install and allignment. You wull love it. Mine feels like a new truck.

 

The bilsteins will be my next mod fosho pretty much all the bushings on mine are bad
