Bilstein 5100 shock install

Yes you read that right. The reasoning is because #1 I already had the kit and #2 I wanted to have 2 inches vs 1.75 inches. Very minimal difference I agree but it’s just something I chose to do.

Next time I just wouldn’t buy the 2” kit all together.

Thanks! Do you experience any problems with front upper control arms hitting coils at lowest wheel drop with that setup?

The repeated bouncing is symptom of shocks needing replacement. Sounds like the fronts were worn out.

Yes, I agree. Unfortunately the Monroe shocks I bought were brand new and maybe had 1,000 miles on them. Not good ride quality at all in my opinion. Waste of money

yhere hasn’t been any problems with the new setup, I’ve driven it maybe 1-2k miles now. But the truck stays on pavement. Not sure about a full droop situation.
