Getting a very wierd grinding noise. similiar to baseball card in the spokes type of sound. under acceleration, straight line. anyone had anything like this? Switching to 4A it dissapears.
*Update*
After a bit of time and research, I believe the IWE Vacuum Hub line was possibly damaged...
Just got home from having the struts and pucks put on.
I went with the Bilstein 5100 for the F150 and 2.5" setting.
Rear has 2" pucks.

Necro bump.
Anyone else running these Bilsteins?
If so, does it bottom the shock out before the bump stops, because of the slight length difference of the F150 strut?
